Indeed. We don’t know the conditions of the test. Maybe it was running the engines through a simulated flight. Or they were testing the engine in different failure modes to see if it shuts itself down or takes care of the problem correctly. Or they were doing a deliberate test to failure where a RUD is the expected result.
About all this is doing is making me update my lists in UBO more often.
Ah, let me guess, now Google’s gonna get everyone and their sister to move all their content to apps…
Leopards ate tankies’ faces!
Pixel Buds are the same way. IIRC from a teardown vid, those earbuds (and I’m guessing most of their competitors’ too) are designed to be quasi-disposable in this way. They’re glued together, the only way to open them up destroys them, warranty support consists of replacing defective earbuds.
This business model does create an e-waste issue… More lithium ion batteries ending up in landfills, more gold extracted from components by kids in developing nations burning them and breathing the carcinogens…
LOL - sink dish soap in the dishwasher!
I have made that error once… Lucy, you got some ‘splainin’ to do!
TikTok’s parent corporation is strongly tied to the Chinese gov’t and the CCP. So yes, they do, though of course they deny it…
I was thinking the same thing!
Strikebreaking for the Glorious Worker’s Revolution! That’s how it’s supposed to work, right?
Yep. Another problem with allowing content to be spoon-fed to us by The Algorithm.
Yep. All for their Glorious Marxist/Maoist Revolution! Yep. That’s sure creating a worker’s paradise…
Yep. The only way to make progress on that front is to serve Putin some polonium tea…
Never underestimate the bandwidth of a truck full of flash drives. The latency’s most annoying though.
Having multi-communities, akin to multireddits, would be handy.
I reported the app formerly known as Twitter for hate speech.
Yep. There are only so many people willing to take the leap for ideological reasons. I bailed from Twitter the day Apartheid Boy reinstated Donald Trump (but laughed when Donald decided to start his own dollar-store Twitter instead). Most people aren’t willing to go that far.
I’m tired of being manipulated & jerked around by shitfucks like Apartheid Boy, so I came here for ideological reasons, specifically, because I think it’s time to bring democracy to social media, and the distributed Fediverse model is the way to do that. Those playing ball with the Zucks and Musks and Spezs, should know they’re playing footsie with wannabe dictators, so don’t be surprised when they get shit dictated at them.
He wants free speech only if he agrees with it.
I still wonder if artificial sweeteners mess with metabolism, say by training people to ignore satiety signals, which would be why we saw that study a few days back saying artificial sweeteners are associated with weight gain.
Pourquoi pas les deux ?
Think of this as an IQ test. Those that pass come here, those that fail get Zuck’d, Musk’d & Spez’d.
Go anti-woke, go broke, Apartheid Boy!
