Matt, DT, and Talor kick off with a laugh-out-loud listener comment and DT's string of workshop mishaps in Ireland before diving into the news: the FCC's proposed ban on foreign-made drones and who actually benefits from it, how to evaluate photography competitions without getting scammed, and why AI's appetite for memory chips is driving up camera prices. Then the hot takes: why workshops should teach craft and vision instead of just delivering you to a pretty location, Canon's articulating screen and L-bracket problem, and why the old advice to turn off stabilization on a tripod might be outdated. We wrap up by revisiting last episode's Peak Design tripod take after some pushback from listeners.
