> The agency also extended a deadline for foreign-made drones to continue receiving software and firmware updates to January 1, 2029 from January 1, 2027.
First, I remain curious why so many people write sentences like that which go backwards in time as you progress through the sentence. Financial news is always like that, too. “Price target adjusted to ____ from ____”. Ridiculous.
Second, that reads like the FCC is saying drones *must* receive software updates until at least 2029? My understanding is the opposite.
