phit_on Lufthansa bans AirTags in checked luggage

what a joke, I guess that's one way to deal with their terrible luggage handling.. I've been now waiting since a flight on August 20th to receive my "lost" luggage from them. I guess policy like this is easier than fixing the actual issue.

The only update I've gotten is this email two weeks ago, their hotline and website are completely useless. Via DeepL

> Good day,

> We apologize that you have not yet received your luggage and for the inconvenience this has caused. We regret that we are currently unable to meet our standards for a smooth travel experience.

> Why are there delays?

> There are currently massive logistical and personnel failures and bottlenecks worldwide, which are delaying baggage handling in particular. The world of flying is highly interconnected. We are dependent on our global partners here and are thus confronted with numerous challenges.

> We are working hard to ensure that all delayed baggage is delivered within the coming weeks.

> If you would like to check the baggage status yourself, please use the baggage status page only. Our telephone service centers will not be able to assist with any questions regarding your baggage.

> Kind regards

> Your Lufthansa Team

phit_on Installing Windows 11 on Legacy BIOS Without Secure Boot

I call bullshit on that one, there's no way you are running a CPU expensive game like ARMA on a q6600 at any usable FPS much less max settings, maybe at < 720p with tiny render distance. That game struggled on modern PCs when it came out in 2013, you are claiming an ancient CPU that's 6 years older. Yeah no way.

phit_on Ask HN: Where did the CPU-bound games go?

most games are CPU bound, an extreme recent example is Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, the real issue is that they are mostly singlethreaded CPU bound, there's barely any games that can max out a modern 8 core CPU
