In case you didn't touch it, it can of course just interrupt the IFE for all three languages, since you're apparently not using it anyway.

There's big variation between airlines, though, so I think that's not the entire explanation. In many cases I think that there is nobody involved with the decision of which announcements to include who really has the job of caring

Passing through Jakarta airport the other day, there was an announcement which was literally on a continuous loop with no pause in between. It was only about 15 seconds long. Considering I couldn't understand a word of it, after a shor

You assume that getting from “48% as good” as a human programmer (on an undoubtedly biased sample) to “100% as good” is about equally hard as getting from 0% to 48%. That seems a pretty big assumption. Many programmers also do work that doe

My experience has usually been that it will apologize and then produce another snippet with a different flaw. When that is pointed out, it will usually go back to the original snippet with the original flaw. It sometimes also insists that i

“Quite challenging” is an understatement. The problem is far too big for the tech startup model. You would need to get a bunch of expensive skilled engineers, and a bunch of expensive domain experts (from many domains, since “building house

While I don't disagree that it's a long time, the lack of further incidents in 2019 suggests it was well mitigated early on, and the lack of incidents at other airports suggests there wasn't an imminent threat to flight safet

I’m not sure those examples should be referred to as “accidents”. If you deliberately give the information to an external company, you leaked it deliberately, even if you thought they wouldn’t do anything bad with it.

In the case of Bharat QR (India) or QRIS (Indonesia), it's just a standard which various payment methods implement. So you can choose to scan the QR with the app of the bank that you want to pay from, or with a mobile wallet app (those

With the recent new QR systems around Southeast Asia, they got around this by adding support to existing terminals with just a software update. They print out the QR code for the payer to scan. It’s a bit janky, but works until the merchant

This is how it works in a lot of places, including everywhere in China and parts of south east Asia. The merchant’s device displays a QR code, which you scan with your phone. The details of the transaction are shown on your screen, and you

Bleed air is (on any airliner except 787) what you are breathing in the cabin whenever the doors are closed and ground AC equipment is removed, so your post was implicitly about bleed air. It’s the air that is “pumped into the cabin”. Exh

My wife works from home in a related industry, and she is quite frequently transmitting work files (up to 100s of GiB) over our residential connection. We have multi-gigabit symmetric FTTH though.
