Could alternatively use a data-only card if you want to allow streaming.

You can then limit the data used a couple ways - through your account, or with a local app or phone config (and some of these apps use a pin)

You could also use an app like No Root Firewall to limit network access (and Android can enforce an always-on VPN, preventing network access if the VPN isn’t running). It too can be locked with a pin.

Just some ideas if you want to allow streaming with specific apps (no root permits you to block network for all apps, with exceptions). I use it with a prefilter that blocks a bunch of social media and ad domains.

Fuck the UN.

Seriously - when you choose a country with vile fundamental human rights abuses as the head of the human rights commission…

Wait, when did NASA land a fully reusable rocket like fucking Buck Rogers?

Then do it again, but capture it with the freakin’ launch tower?

When did NASA even have a reusable rocket? Oh, the shuttle, the bastardized money pit for NSA/NRO/Air Force, that appears to have been designed to orbit a surveillance satellite chassis, which most people know as Hubble (it’s one of many, this one being used to surveil the universe, instead of the earth).

And the shuttle was a quasi-reusable orbiter, not a rocket.

The space shuttle wasn’t as reusable as it was claimed to be.

Each airframe required massive refurbishment after every flight.

And the “crashes” you’re talking about were part of the project process, articles that were never going to be any more than test objects to begin with.

NASA crashed a lot of stuff, unintentionally. Three off of the top of my head, killed 15 astronauts, all which were preventable (not to mention the launch pad failures getting to Apollo).

NASA/NACA/Air Force crashed a lot of stuff along the way.

Ffs they knew Columbia had a tile problem, and said “it’ll be OK”. They knew it had been too cold for the booster seals on Discovery, and launched anyway.

There’s nothing logical about that to me. Double/triple click? No one outside the flashlight community would have a clue how to use these lights (and I own a handful).

Sequential click through low/med/high/off is intuitive.

I have labels on some lights so people can use them. Imagine that, having to read a label to use a flashlight. Oh, that’ll be great in a power outage.

You need flashlights with a better UI.

I mean, yea, I think that’s what OP is saying.

But it can be hard to find, with a high output/good battery.

Lights using a 18650 seem to be the rage these days, at crazy cheap prices, but they all use some UI with clicks, holds, etc. I feel like I’m doing a dance to use any of mine, definitely not what you want in a circumstance requiring a flashlight.

Even the simplest of lights require something most people would find unusual (and certainly never guess). Setting an Anduril light to “simple mode” is still more complex than I want in a light. It would be nice to have a simple click control, and be able to disable the strobe nonsense (never once in my life have I thought “ooh, a strobing light would be great right now!”). Nevermind the arguments for it are debatable (to confuse an attacker? Research has shown it affects you too).

Right there with you.

Why can’t I get a light with super simple controls (say low/med/high/off) with like a 18650 battery?

Nope, you want a 18650,you get all sorts of goofy UI crap. Uggh.

I do have some Duracell led flashlights that use 4 AAA, with a single button, low/med/strobe (uggh)/off. OK price as a multi-pack from Sam’s or Costco, about $7/ea.

But their runtime is about the same as an old incandescent, just with a lot more light.

Terrifying that any company would use Gmail.

Hell, MS is a better email host.

I would imagine that legally, liability largely falls on the plane operator, though if you as a driver can avoid it, you would share in liability, perhaps moreso.

1. Avoid things
2. Then go by right-of-way

Sort of how you approach 3/4-way stop signs (god I hate them).

That just sounds painfully inefficient (though we’ve been doing stuff like this for decades).

Arm isn’t as efficient at higher cpu states as x86, and running a VM you’re definitely going to up the cpu usage.

Still interesting to watch. And every use-case is unique. For the typical short-run process this is for, it’ll probably be fine.

Well, it is.

It’s a lot more work to use not-Google stuff on Android. Which I try very hard to do.

Now trying to get a family member to install and run anything not from the Play store is like pulling teeth.

It’s the convenience angle.

I have very experienced IT friends who continue to use privacy invasive crap, knowingly because they like the convenience.

So is termux a containerized Linux? (I haven’t looked into it yet, just on my list). I had assumed it was a VM, guess I was incorrect.

There’s lots of resources online specifically about your state, that will be important, as every state is different.

In one state where I lived, you had the right to transfer moving violations to criminal court (the court for tickets was generally a Justice of the Peace, which is an appointee, so a legal education isn’t required to be one).

Criminal court has higher requirements for everyone involved, so it can be useful for defense purposes. It also costs more, both for the state and for you in court fees (fines will be the same). The advantage is the state is motivated to plea your charge down to clear the docket. I’ve seen this many times, for everything under the sun. But, every state is different.

I assume since you have court it’s because this is your first ticket, and you’re young - not sure why they do that, but it’s not uncommon. I guess they want to put the fear of the legal system in you. Had the opposite effect for me, saw it was just a process, that goes on all day, every day. Later tickets you just pay.

Wow, not really off the mark.

Upper class English spoke French in Shakespeare’s time, seeing the English language as the tongue of the commoners, lower class folk.

Part of what made Shakespeare’s plays different - he brought comedy similar to Moliere’s into English.

Hahaha, history of the world!

Took me several reads of the headline to start with.

Then connecting it to the article contents, at least this is “accurate clickbait” (if there is such a thing). It actually describes what’s going on, we just interpret it differently initially because of current circumstance (which I suppose you could say is the fldefinition of clickbait).

Still clickbait, but at least it’s not an outright lie like so many, just worded to make us want to click!

I’m a bit chagrined to have been taken in by the extreme interpretation of the headline, when the milder interpretation (in a different climate) would be inoffensive.

Ffs, how far have we come when I’m showing appreciation for a clickbait headline’s milder interpretation is accurate enough to not be a lie, but just attention-grabbing?

Hell, seats in the back used to be the cheapest - takes you longer to get off, and generally noisier since it’s behind the wings/engines. It’s also a rougher ride.

I liked flying there because no one else wanted those seats, so I could often get an empty row (way back when)

Windows isn’t an OS? What kind of nonsense is this?

I’d say the team from DEC who created it, would differ.

Wouldn’t you validate that update on a test machine in an isolated environment…like we’ve done since forever?
