Paper charts are great (they're fairly cheap and printed quite nicely in the USA at least) but you can get a good look at these boundaries through online charts.

https://skyvector.com is a good way to view these.

Yes

I wasn’t really kidding with my comment. I just recently used camera footage as part of an accident claim and the assessor immediately said “that wasn’t your fault, we take responsibility on behalf of the driver”.

In a few years time when (if) faking realistic footage becomes trivial, I suspect this kind of video will have a much, much higher level of scrutiny or only be accepted from certain sources such as government owned traffic cameras.

There goes the dashcam industry…

Yes, or even require a challenge sent to the current line with a grace period, and you get to choose your own grace period up front. In this way, someone can't jack your line while they know you're on a flight.

So, I lose my phone (maybe it's sitting on the side of the road somewhere) and need a new line. Since I can't reply to it my line will transfer after 8 (?) hours of no response to the challenge.

I don’t know if the default can be changed, but Firefox makes it easy to load a tab in a different account with containers.

You could by default load the documentation domain with an account set to English.

Mazda have taken physical controls as a core part of their design philosophy. I don’t see them going away any time soon.

I haven’t looked at their financials, but I’m assuming he successfully increased profits for Boeing.

He’s probably hireable so long as there’s no culture of safety or engineering to be destroyed.

I had a company reach out after a year offering a refund for toner cartridges I left a bad review for.

I took the refund of course (since they were bad) and then they offered me another $30 to adjust the negative review which I left up, which when I ignored they upped it to $40 to remove it altogether.

I didn’t take them up on it, but I imagine they’re very successful offering such high a payment.

Was that the top spec, or top spec available for immediate shipping?

In my experience Apple keeps a few different configurations ready for pick up or shipping, and their return policy sounds pretty flexible (though I haven’t personally had to use it for a major purchase).

You may be able to use a water leak sensor. They often have pins you can attach wires to, and shorting those should result in a “detected” state.

Apple’s HomeKit operates over local control, as I understand. For anything that isn’t zwave or zigbee, this has been a reliable way for me to choose devices which don’t require some outside service to control.

HA supports HomeKit without requiring any Apple devices.

Is it profitable to be a part-time miner? I thought the equipment was too expensive and short lived to sit idle.

I remember at work years ago hearing a little scream from the bathroom and it was because someone dropped the roll in and didn’t know what to do.

Lid’s always closed at home - I have a cupboard above the toilet that’s full of stuff likely to fall.

You’re talking about something in a high touch area (thanks to tyre changes) that’s under a lot of stress and is made up of replaceable parts - landing gear is surely not expected to last the life of a plane without having parts replaced.

I agree it would get more complicated, but there are some nice things we could get with text.

For example, a “turn right heading 320” or “proceed direct BUXOM” could become a popup on the screen, which can then be pushed straight to the FMS with a single press. The plane could also report its active flight plan and mode (i.e., whether it’s tracking a course or following a heading) which would confirm whatever ATC expects the plane to be doing.

There’s a myriad of downsides to this, including bad actors sending instructions to pilots without ATC being aware, so in balance this might be overall worse than just keeping it simple.

You’re not wrong, since the 4.5x number comes from a comparison with the rPi 1.

The rPi 4 is over 10x faster than the 1.

The original article points out that the raspberry pi 400, with the benchmark targeting 64 bits, was about 80x Cray for the same benchmark which was 4.5x for the rPi 1.

Raspberry Pi 5 advertises a 2-3x performance gain over earlier versions, though this wasn’t benchmarked in these tests.

Sorry I’m not actually familiar with light phone, so I’ve had a look, and it is something sold that anyone can buy.

They’re trying to build something which people need to find at least a bit palatable. A phone without the ability to play music and podcasts would have very little chance of selling for $300, they’d be up against those senior-oriented big button phones which sell for incredibly cheap.

Edit: I’m also not seeing anyone say that their school allows only light phone

By the time you build a basic phone, adding these features only costs a few cents more, so they include them to increase market share.

These days phones are generally built from a SoC which already includes more capabilities than just calls and text, and run an operating system which already supports those capabilities.

If you don’t want certain features they can be turned off (check how locked down you can make an iPhone via parental controls, for instance) but it’s hard to avoid paying for them in some way.

I’m not who you’re replying to, but in my case the hub being unavailable should mean everything can still work as normal. For a lot of smart bulbs, a busted hub means you can only control them by switching them off then back on since you were relying on the hub to control them.

Some switches allow for direct control of zigbee or zwave smart bulbs so even if the hub is non functional, a press of the switch will still toggle or even dim them.

I have a similar setup, and use a mix of Leviton, Inovelli and Lutron switches.

No flashes from any of them.

I’m pretty sure the main thread here about limited twists is a joke.

In saying that, there were devices with similar restrictions before any IoT existed. Smoke alarms, CO alarms, breathalysers are all devices I’ve seen with enforced lifetime and/or usage counts.

I don’t know what Boeing do, but you typically see torque markings on many of these bolts on small planes (and cars, roller coasters, other things).

If the painted seal is broken or misaligned, you know the nut has moved.

If an inspection done after going into service involved removing/replacing that door, it could have been done incorrectly.

There really is no way to know what happened without more research, and I’m confident the priority will be to understand if this was a one off or widespread issue.

I know it’s mentioned elsewhere, but this does it for me:

* Try the same site in a private window (assuming plugins are disabled when in private)

* If on dev or nightly, try those sites on the regular release.

I haven’t bumped into anything in GCP that fails to work on ff, though likely don’t use the console as extensively.

They will provide “clearances” which avoid terrain - if they ask you (for example) to fly direct to LAX, they need to ensure you are told an altitude to fly which keeps you at or above the minimum for whatever is between you and that waypoint.

As the pilot you are required to follow the instruction but ATC aren’t responsible for you not doing so.

There are situations where you may inadvertently lose communications, so ATC can’t tell you to climb for some future higher altitude requirement. In this case the pilot needs to climb and fly the minimum for the area they are in or airway they are following.

The air Canada issue can still be mitigated, even on a visual approach, by programming the plane for the runway’s instrument approach (ILS or otherwise) assuming one is available.

Many pilots do this, and you don’t need a special ILS clearance or its corresponding separation to do so.

Software doesn’t quite have the same fungibility to allow for this, but imagine your job was only being responsible for urgent, high severity tickets throughout your company.

There was no time to mull over a problem, pair code with a peer or junior, or talk to a product owner because everything was urgent and on fire.

Understood! I’ll have to give it a try myself :)

Thanks
