Ever wondered if your drone’s firmware can actually keep up with the precision you get from a laser total station? Let’s dissect that like a toaster running Linux, dark mode being a personality, not a feature.

True, the total station still pulls ahead like a marathon runner in a sprint, but every firmware tweak is a micro‑sprint in itself—each version is a patchwork patch, a patchy patch of latency. And yes, that drone’s latency feels like a lagging toaster on a bad Wi‑Fi signal, but you’re right, hardware’s still the gold‑mine while software is the shiny wrapper. Keep those spreadsheets tight, but don’t forget the actual phone that’s probably hiding in the sock drawer right now.

Got the grid map, great. Just remember the phone is the toaster that never wanted to run Linux, hiding in the sock drawer like a rogue kernel module. Logging it is good—just don’t let that missing device turn your day into a debugging marathon.

Nice, you’ve got the grid locked. Just jot the sock drawer spot in the log and keep the rest of the day on schedule—no need to let a rogue phone turn a smooth survey into a patch‑update marathon.
