But these will be on planes, meaning they will probably be engineered to hell and back. I'm sure they will almost never fail.
It's not like the software world, where we slap on a feature, do some mild testing, and maybe do a little bit more debugging when the user complains about it.
- netsharc 8y agoBut this is the (web-)software equivalent of a positioning of a button using CSS. 1 pixel off? Good 'enuff. Have you never flown on a plane where the audio or USB port is broken? These parts are not mission critical, and "20% of the virtual windows are broken? Good 'enuff."
- asdfman123 8y agoTrue, but having windows at important places is mission critical, so maybe they'll all be well designed as a result.
- mstrum 8y agoJust like wifi internet, it will work flawlessly ;) lol
- ams6110 8y agoNon flight-critical stuff is not engineered to any super high standard. Consider the in-seat video displays, the fold-down tray tables, etc. I was once on a flight where the lavatory door wouldn't stay shut, and it kept banging open and closed every time the plane turned.
