Paper charts are great (they're fairly cheap and printed quite nicely in the USA at least) but you can get a good look at these boundaries through online charts. https://skyvector.com is a good way to view these.

I wasn’t really kidding with my comment. I just recently used camera footage as part of an accident claim and the assessor immediately said “that wasn’t your fault, we take responsibility on behalf of the driver”. In a few years time when (

Yes, or even require a challenge sent to the current line with a grace period, and you get to choose your own grace period up front. In this way, someone can't jack your line while they know you're on a flight. So, I lose my phone

I don’t know if the default can be changed, but Firefox makes it easy to load a tab in a different account with containers. You could by default load the documentation domain with an account set to English.

Mazda have taken physical controls as a core part of their design philosophy. I don’t see them going away any time soon.

I haven’t looked at their financials, but I’m assuming he successfully increased profits for Boeing. He’s probably hireable so long as there’s no culture of safety or engineering to be destroyed.

I had a company reach out after a year offering a refund for toner cartridges I left a bad review for. I took the refund of course (since they were bad) and then they offered me another $30 to adjust the negative review which I left up, whi

Was that the top spec, or top spec available for immediate shipping? In my experience Apple keeps a few different configurations ready for pick up or shipping, and their return policy sounds pretty flexible (though I haven’t personally had

You may be able to use a water leak sensor. They often have pins you can attach wires to, and shorting those should result in a “detected” state.

Apple’s HomeKit operates over local control, as I understand. For anything that isn’t zwave or zigbee, this has been a reliable way for me to choose devices which don’t require some outside service to control. HA supports HomeKit without re

Is it profitable to be a part-time miner? I thought the equipment was too expensive and short lived to sit idle.

You’re talking about something in a high touch area (thanks to tyre changes) that’s under a lot of stress and is made up of replaceable parts - landing gear is surely not expected to last the life of a plane without having parts replaced.

I agree it would get more complicated, but there are some nice things we could get with text. For example, a “turn right heading 320” or “proceed direct BUXOM” could become a popup on the screen, which can then be pushed straight to the FMS

You’re not wrong, since the 4.5x number comes from a comparison with the rPi 1. The rPi 4 is over 10x faster than the 1. The original article points out that the raspberry pi 400, with the benchmark targeting 64 bits, was about 80x Cray for

Sorry I’m not actually familiar with light phone, so I’ve had a look, and it is something sold that anyone can buy. They’re trying to build something which people need to find at least a bit palatable. A phone without the ability to play mu

By the time you build a basic phone, adding these features only costs a few cents more, so they include them to increase market share. These days phones are generally built from a SoC which already includes more capabilities than just calls

I’m not who you’re replying to, but in my case the hub being unavailable should mean everything can still work as normal. For a lot of smart bulbs, a busted hub means you can only control them by switching them off then back on since you we

I’m pretty sure the main thread here about limited twists is a joke. In saying that, there were devices with similar restrictions before any IoT existed. Smoke alarms, CO alarms, breathalysers are all devices I’ve seen with enforced lifetim

I don’t know what Boeing do, but you typically see torque markings on many of these bolts on small planes (and cars, roller coasters, other things). If the painted seal is broken or misaligned, you know the nut has moved.

They will provide “clearances” which avoid terrain - if they ask you (for example) to fly direct to LAX, they need to ensure you are told an altitude to fly which keeps you at or above the minimum for whatever is between you and that waypoi

The air Canada issue can still be mitigated, even on a visual approach, by programming the plane for the runway’s instrument approach (ILS or otherwise) assuming one is available. Many pilots do this, and you don’t need a special ILS cleara
