Depressing but not surprising to see them try and shut down the researcher's effort to show the city is lying about the scope and potential damage.

I still use the browser dev tools trick with T Mobile's free 1 hour for mobile clients. change laptop user agent to mobile — log in for planes’s wifi — turn off user agent change. I assume the plane is provisioning internet access by m

Finder remains one of those apps I still can’t make effective use of. Windows File Explorer for all its warts and changes still “just makes sense” to my brain vs how finder lays things out and expects you to browse. I’ve long since moved to

I’m not sure I’m following the distinction you’re trying to draw. SimCity is a simulation — just a simplistic one with many simplifications and short cuts. It’s a toy model. There’s always simplifications made in any model — SimCity’s happe
