    Just curious, what kind of batteries are powering the remote and if rechargeable, how often does it need charging? Not saying they wouldn’t do such things, still a good preventative measure, but I’d be surprised if it could sustain telemetry with only the power of AAA batteries in a typical remote.

        Smart enough to be able to remove the mic from the remote, not smart enough to figure out that its not constantly recording for a year on 2 AAA batteries.

          Dude of course it’s not constantly recording, but the fact that it can record on two AAA batteries even every now and then for over a year is ridiculous

            Yea that’s true. Does it have a microphone button your remote at least? Also, my original comment was in jest, if it didn’t come across that way.

              No it didn’t come across that way, even after re-reading it, it sounds serious.

              Also yeah, it wasn’t trying to hide the fact, it’s advertised to have voice control and has a button for it. For some reason it says “you have to be connected to the internet to use voice control” if I try to test it which makes no fucking sense tho lmao.
