Yes, it probably can be done without AI/LLM, but it'd take a long time and resources to develop the solution.
The thing with AI is it's easy, fast and accessible to use, often you don't need to know how to code, often it's cheaper.
Just ask it in natural language and it does it, of course with comes with varying levels of quality, but sometimes it's acceptable.
It can be more expensive to run it (maybe it needs a high-spec smartphone), but for this specific application, if the results comes in a minute it's totally fine, no need to be instantaneous and run in a arduino.

It's either applications, or more properly, programs.
Apps is what steve jobs called the things on the ipad.

Do yourself a favor and get over it.
Times they are a changin' - apps, applications and programs are synonyms nowadays. Those things that runs on iStuff are nothing but programs, a.k.a. apps.
Say "programs" or even "applications", and newer (and older!) generations will scratch their heads; say apps and they'll get it.

Yes, gaming is what is mostly holding me on Windows (10 as long as I have security updates, 11 is malware).
People saying it's fine... well it improved a lot, but it's not great. Specially with games with anticheat and it really fails big time if you have a NVidia GPU (my case).
There are recent news that Steam itself is taking action and "working with NVidia in order to improve compatibility", whatever that means... let's hope for the best, but I'll not hold my breath.

Windows 10 has being slowly enshittified, but Windows 11 is a turd on fire since the beginning.
So even being a die hard Windows user, I'm very tempted in switching to Linux.
But there are some reasons that stops me. Many games I play that can't run on Linux. And I have a NVidia GPU (RTX 3060), which has poor support on Linux (AFAIK).
Another reason is analysis paralysis. I just can't make my mind on what distro I get. See, people here on /. and some other places says things like Wayland sucks, SystemD is cancer, Gnome is bloat, Flatpack bad, etc. At the same time, distro X is amazing, distro Y is perfect, distro Z is sexy, etc. And often these same distros has all that bad stuff you Linux nerds despise.
And there's Valve and their SteamOS. Valve recently opened it for anyone to use, but it's mainly compatible with AMD GPUs. but Valve says they're working with NVidia to "improve compatibility", but that'd not happen until 2027.
So, Windows 10 extended support for one more year did fit like a glove. It bought me time to wait and let Valve cook. Fingers crossed!

Helicopters require training, but don't require flight plans and permits for every flight.
Drones are much more comparable to them than to fixed wing aircraft.
I can agree with requiring training and permission/registration to fly a drone, at least the big ones, which can cause serious accidents.
But permits for every single flight is stupid.

In a World where electrical tape and black markers don't exist ...

RTFA, or in this case, WTFV.
If you block the recording light with tape or a similar solution, the gadget can identify it and prevent it to start recording.
But somehow if you drill a hole just enough to damage the LED, apply some resin to it and let it dry, it records video normally without the light.
Maybe there's a light detector behind that LED that just detects if there's enough exterior light coming in... if you damage just the LED but not the light detector, it doesn't block the recording function.
