I flew internationally for the first time a few months back. Didn’t turn on airplane mode. While in the air I got hit with roaming and international data messages. If I had sent or received any messages, it would have cost something like $15/day to use their network. Airplane mode is no longer required for the safety…
The reason to turn on Airplane Mode is because your phone will continuously search for a signal while in the air and drain your battery.
Yeah, I’d probably have air rage too if someone was loudly talking on a cell phone for an entire flight right next to me while being forced to sit in incredible cramped seats and paying $6 for a small cup of soda.
The real reason is this: airlines think people won’t stop yapping on their cell phones during flights, leading to more instances of “air rage.” That’s why regulators continue to ban phone calls and data usage on planes; it’s just plain annoying.
Funny, I was thinking “Because Elon wants it” was a great reason to not vote for Republicans this November.
Yes, yes, we all love the Iron Man HUD and the Minority Report DVR but we also don’t have rooms professionally lit by Oscar nominated cinematographers...
Human-like walking gait isn’t an unsolved problem. It can be done, even by robots with relatively limited degrees of freedom:
Who needs lidar?
Reminds me of this line from “Beachworld”, a short story from Stephen King’s Skeleton Crew:
You’re 100% right about the 50/50, and I understand how a small business would move things around and make some capacity for an order that represents a huge sale, but that’s the lesson, right?
Would not be entirely surprised to find out that Musk learned that someone was spending company money on a “woke” BHM gesture and personally ordered that it be cancelled.
You know it will be the latter.
Can’t even begin to imagine how much telemetry they slurp out of a laptop when even their mouse driver was infested with the shit last I checked. Having to create a “cloud account” for a fricken mouse, who’s ever heard of such nonsense?
Yeah, cause that worked great for the Star War Sequels...
You’d be surprised how many single family homes are rentals.
They should just focus on doing Young Avengers story they've been teasing. Yelena, Kate and Kamala have regularly been said to be the best thing Marvel did after Endgame. Flesh out Riri a bit, and add Sam Wilson as their mentor/leader, and you got a cast.
Brother, you need a Canyonero XL.
It just wouldn’t work for me, a real American person who tows his 50' boat up hill 500 miles one way, 7 times a day.
