Morgan Freeman blows up drones?

 

[Tenchi Masaki]

and hack the drones as well

 

[Tenchi Masaki]

They used a drone attack on him in a movie where he plays the president again and its a nightmare in real life secret service can't defend against that sort of attack yet.

 

[Eugene]

So he got demoted from god to president. Noted.

 

[Tenchi Masaki]

basically a bomb drone swarm just crashes into you or a plane, car, helicopter, or boat and they explode

 

[Eugene]

I remember when those were called smart munitions. Funny how the buzzwords change.

 

[Tenchi Masaki]

yeah drones were remote controlled planes once

 

[Tenchi Masaki]

The american army hijacked kids toys and slapped "drone" on it. I saw a show where a soldier stressed they werent toys then they showed how they were being controlled... with Xbox controllers

A buddy of mine working in research said the choice of xbox controllers was fairly natural for a generation that had been raised on that sort of interface.

 

[Tenchi Masaki]

Yeah that part made me happy
