If they had made the change for that reason, sure. But the actual stated cause was some pretty thing.

ICE engines are not particularly noisy, it’s rotors that make the most noise. IDK about the exhaust, but I can only think of thermal sensors and shouldn’t hydrogen be exothermic too?

Environmental friendliness is way down the list of priorities in war, from the perspective of the army.

And HICE engines have higher power density, which makes sense for recon drones, unless the tanks nullify that.

Right, that’s what I mean by the article not mentioning any actual advantages, which makes me think they’re not actually winning the tradeoff game.

You can do it with gasoline too, while using some of it to hightail out of there :)

WDYM about the exhaust, though? I’d imagine the heat trail from combusting either fuel would be about the same.

Ok, so? What’s the benefit as compared to a gasoline hybrid? If a PR piece can’t mention that, I’m inclined to think there isn’t any. In addition to the downside of needing an entire new more complicated supply chain for the fuel.

Very cogent take, enjoy the incoming downvotes.

it’s basically heaven for data collectors and advertising

That would imply they didn’t have access before. Let’s face it, they did. It’s just democratising the access to that information.

The blog is hilarious.

Does this apply to communities on lemmy, if we’re viewing from a piefed account? I’m not quite clear on whether this is being cached on the host instance or the individual federated instances.

Well, common in certain circles. Definitely cryptic for everybody else, though.

Pretty much the opposite actually. Trump’s in power, why would his supporters fear being vocal right now

My apologies, I didn’t realise which instance I was dealing with.

Go away.

I don’t disagree with you, but there’s still a vast gulf between freedom of speech in the US and China

I didn’t imply ALL of them thought the same way. My point was that Americans still have the freedom to speak up (for now)

US citizens are pretty vocal about the failings of their nation. Good luck finding that in unimprisoned China nationals.
