It has been an option on previous gen 737s as well. No extra training is required, you can go from flying a 737 with the display option disabled to one that has it enabled without issues. It is literally a single gauge extra on a display.

Some do. It is an optional item to display on the primary flight displays, if you have paid for it. For example, this is what Southwest has been adding to their MAX fleet after the Lion Air crash. It is sometimes described as an extra sensor but AFAIK all they have done is enable the display option so pilots can…

It’s about damn time. I’m sorry for those in the US who had no idea about this, but the US has been forcing a similar program onto travelers from countries that do not require visas. That system is called ESTA (one of the questions required to answer in the application for that system is “are you a terrorist”).

Don’t get your terms mixed up. The FO is basically never PIC. You mean PF (Pilot Flying). To the best of my knowledge, Ethiopian designates the airport the plane departed from as a “captains only” airport. Meaning the captain would have been pilot flying.

You assume that everything is quite chill and relaxed in the cockpit and there is plenty of time to trouble shoot. Should this have been the exact same error as Lion Air, expect blaring alarms in the cockpit, a stick shaker constantly going off and indications pointing you away from what is actually the largest threat…

Yes, the plane is perfectly safe, that is why we have compiled a list of things that Boeing has to change or comply with before the end of April. Because the plane is perfectly safe. But needs changes in stuff. But safe. I’m telling you.

Interesting to see the differences between US and EU. For one, it seems like the chip based cards we have are far less susceptible to skimming/shimming. I understand chip based cards are still not as widespread in the US? Second, most people I know will only use a credit card if there is no other option or there is…

Waiting for pictures where the phone has a lighter wallpaper to see if the hole punch is annoying or not... All the phones pictured here have wallpapers where the dark colors in the image magically end up surrounding the hole punch to make it less noticeable. Like what Apple did with the XS and XS Max default…

Would probably still be worth it :P.

Kinda wish they would just release the display as a stand alone product instead of an all-in-one. I would pay a premium for the big, articulating high res display to hook up to my own desktop.

So someone not only mistook a human being for big foot, but took multiple shots, the closest of which was still three feet off? I think I can identify the shooter:

“Hi guys, my name is Davarshh and this is my 2007 Ford Lamborghini Tractorri, the cheapest in the country. And today, we will check out everything wrong with it.”

If you have a Windows laptop/2-in-1 with a touch screen and you are not regularly just reaching out to the touch screen you are using it wrong in my opinion. If you want big icons, you can set Windows up like that. Nothing is stopping you, and it’s not hidden away.

I’ve rocked my iPhone X 256GB “nude” for the better part of about a year. And am now doing the same with the XS Max.

Internet, tell me this, is it allowed as a man to think that there is such a thing as too much makeup or are we then judgy assholes like some of these streamers seem to suggest?

The more cost-intensive but funnier solution:

Haha, nice, very 90s. It does seem like innovation is dead in these kind of niches. 

Has been done at least 10-12 years ago. I was rocking an eDimensional AudioFX headset with force feedback. Completely plug and play, though it needed USB for the vibration to power it. I loved it. Seemed gimmicky at the beginning but it was especially good for gaming and movies, it’s just a bit of extra sort of…

I see most of your contributions on this site are about as useful as this one, so I suppose there is no point in pointing out that you should worry about your own grammar and less about that of others.

Yeah, it depends strongly on your personal workflow. I only have important stuff in my cloud storage, pretty much anything outside the OneDrive folder I can delete without regretting it (in before people tell me I’ll regret deleting system32). OneDrive keeps its own recycle bin but I’ve never had to use it.
