No. It’s a component of Davinci Resolve, not an isolated binary. It’s not likely ever to be offered as a standalone app. That’s just not how Resolve is designed.
Yes. The free version is very generous. Most non-professionals won’t ever need a license for Resolve Studio.
BMD’s entire game here is that they are a hardware company first.
They hook you in with some really good software - and when you start getting in to professional workflows that requires specialized hardware (I.e. capture cards, I/O devices etc) you’re locked in to needing to use BMD hardware.
So it doesn’t cost them a great deal to offer the free version to most people because they have to have the software anyway to support the hardware.
Also, while they certainly make a profit on the studio licenses, it seems to be largely because offering those advanced features have costs they can’t eat. For example, the official (and expensive) Apple ProRes encoder SDKs, and advanced tech behind their noise reduction plugins among others.
The FAA very clearly has jurisdiction to “all navigable airspace” which is broadly defined as “all airspace immediately above ground level”.
Which is to say, there’s no minimum height threshold under which you could fly a drone (outdoors) where the FAA doesn’t have full legal jurisdiction.
You can say you feel it’s overreach, but it’s well established that the courts do not agree.
Having said all of that, I definitely agree that the states have been doing a pretty shit job of asserting their rights across the board.
Of course it isn’t just individual states. Congress as a whole has been happily ceding power to the executive branch for a few decades now - which is largely how we’ve gotten to this point.

I don't get the impression that's the case. Historically the aircraft in question were large and expensive and very often traveling between states at high altitude. The FAA wasn't harassing for example hang gliders staying within 1000 feet of the ground.
So not only was the federal government generally not interfering with individuals going about local activities, the few exceptions were people unlikely to want to take it to court.
Now a federal agency somehow thinks they can (for example) regulate delivery vehicles operating locally? That's obviously completely absurd. They'd have zero standing to regulate pizza delivery drivers so why are pizza delivery drones any different?
Not that I have much hope of a sensible resolution. The FCC similarly magically receives the power to regulate local activities regardless of the constitution and that one has always been invasive and yet the courts have allowed it.
But planes don't normally fly very low except when taking off and landing. Below 500' AGL and away from airports is normally not the realm of airplanes. Go above 500' AGL and you have a whole host of FAA compliance issues because now you are in plane space.
We run into this with drone filming from county and state lands. The governments assert a right to the airspace above their parks, which is almost certainly unenforceable. However, the governments do issue permits, which one can imagine become significantly more limited in scope once an airspace lawsuit is filed. Ergo, the courts can say whatever they want, but in practice it's even more restrictive than that.
My approach might be an outlier, but I’ll share since it’s a bit more platform agnostic.
I do almost all of it work in the terminal, so I had already been using chezmoi to manage my dotfiles for a few years. Eventually I added an Ansible bootstrapping playbook that runs whenever I setup a new environment to install and configure whatever I like.
I’m already living & breathing Ansible most days so it wasn’t a heavy lift, but it’s a pretty flexible approach that doesn’t bind me to any specific type of package manager or distro.
They’re also developers and probably do care. I’d wager, as always, someone in management with bonus targets to hit probably told them to do it anyway. :/
I WANT to love it - and if I was only ever working on one, or a small number of systems that I was the only one working on I’d probably do it. I’m ALL about customizing my environment.
However ssh into various servers through the day (some of which are totally ephemeral), and having to code switch my brain back and forth between vim mode and emacs mode in the shell would just slow me down and be infuriating each time I connect to a new box.
There's always this comment, saying that its useless to possibly govern or resist advancement or development or use of weapons capable of indiscriminate killing.
If the world actually worked like they believe it does, if restraint were just not possible, the world would have been destroyed at least 3 documented times over.
That article speculates the OEM is Samsung but I find that very hard to believe. Samsung is totally beholden to Google. The discontinued their own DeX and Tizen smartwatch OS for Google alternatives and as for their "AI" features most of them actually come from Google.
Google would not allow this and they're way too entangled with Samsung.
Interesting article. Let's now hope for a reasonable price, even though it will be challenging for their team. It would be a shame if the target audience is limited to overpaid nerds like most of HN.
Indeed but also odd that quitters are citing "updated terms" for their exit but those terms mirror terms from 2024 -i.e. collecting the same information as before...
I think that means that they weren't paying much attention to the terms they now find unsavory.
It also doesn’t help that this wasn’t an open auction where people could buy the company based on the ability to make a return on invested capital, but rather was a bunch of friends of the administration hand picked to own and run the joint.
If I were American I would be afraid of what my government does if I talk about Epstein a lot. In the most extreme case they would arrest you (theyve arrested/threatened got less). China does not care
