A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I've owned two dji products, the Air2S and osmo... 3? Both needed apps downloaded not via Google Play.
Given the size and reputation of DJI, you shouldn't have any concerns.
I'm sorry, but i disagree with this mentality. The size of a company means nothing. We've had so many security breaches from companies large and small. Be it from malice or incompetence.
And speaking of reputation, this, this, and this doesn't really scream "good reputation" to me.
Yeah remember the time that Sony (a large and well-respected company) intentionally included a rootkit on some 22 million audio CDs?
Good points and solid sources.
Thanks for the correction.
Given DJI is Chinese and a similar size Chinese company was found spreading malware you should worry.
