Some airlines make announcements, they are allowed on all airlines I have travelled on in the last 2yrs (when I started travelling a lot..) I mean I don’t think I can prove that literally every airline does allow Bluetooth headphones, but s

It only doesn’t replace a finger print sensor because it is not as secure as faceid. Fairly sure if you could remove the finger print sensor entirely you would. I don’t buy the convienience arguement at all, look at Picard on the enterprise

Regardless of it mattering or not it is simply not true that that you cannot use them on flights, airlines actually announce that you can use them during safety announcements.

I have not been asked to switch Bluetooth off specifically on any flight. They ask that you enter flight safe mode. After that provided flight safe mode is on they don’t give any further instruction. On an iPhone at least you can enable Wi-

I find rounded corners on screens to be quite nice. I think they will be one of the big design changes over the next few years. They make screens appear more natural / organic imo.

A notch is necessary for the faceid sensor array. If you don’t need a foreword facing sensor array you should get rid of the notch. If you have a finnger print sensor on the rear why not make a no-notch phone with an edge to edge display an

Or faceid, and true edge to edge screen (no chin) combined with a processor 2-3x as quick as the next best thing and an operating system designed from the ground up for speed and privacy are actually worth paying for. So tired of this Apple

Only the didn’t copy the edge to edge screen or m the faceid system. The Pixel 3 XL looks awful. The regular pixel 3 looks balenced at least.

Airpods are insanely good. Virtually no issues with quality or interference and I got them the day they were released. Bose QC35s are also great, just not as reliable as airpods... one thing with airpods is that I think all headphones know

Just not true. I fly all the time for work (4 flights a week), KLM eve announce that you can enable Bluetooth once flight safe mode is enabled and use Bluetooth headphones.

That is not true. You can enable Bluetooth whilst in flight safe mode. KLM even an ounce this on their flights. I own airpods and Bose QC35s and use both wirelessly on flights all the time.

Why would you use this over the smartphone in your pocket? Look at the positions where this garbage is placed in the rooms in the video, literally no one would place these things in the middle of tables, in the middle of countertops. I can&

Is that smart way of saying present both sides of the argument? I tend to work in 'more steel' type problems ;)

Fairly sure this is an naval architecture problem a company of Maersk scale would be able to solve. There may be additional strengthening installed whilst the sails are installed. Seems like a ‘use more steel’ type problem.

I think it means that your job should then become automating aspects of the business, then maintaining these automations. Your labour becomes automating.

I think it is the pictures of a former king pin being tried sitting in a court that prosecutors want, it sends a message that no one is above the law. Being tried in absentia doesn't really tick that box.

Always better to humiliate them in court than make a martyr. Shooting them is what the cartels do, justice would be that he is tried by a jury and sentenced under law. I can see how there could be a net benefit to shooting them on site, but

I think it’s fair for a device manufacturer to say you have voided the warranty if you load a 3rd party ROM onto the device, the device manufacturer has no control over the 3rd party software, how safe it is to run etc. If the 3rd party rom

I’d say this is more like remapping the ecu, not really like changing tires...if you mapped the ecu to run in an unsafe way (increased engine pressure etc) then you have voided the warranty.

If you purposefully bypass control measures that maintain the integrity of the cpu, then run the cpu outside of what it is supposed to do, you have voided the warranty. If you modify your cars engine increasing the pressure in the cylinders

Yep and if the teacher doesn’t arrive in 10 minutes you can legally leave the class room. Come on. If you modify the device to work in a way it wasn’t intended (eg overclocked) you have clearly voided the warranty. This is what this is ther
