As the article you linked suggests, what good would a fix do? The whole reason that someone might still be running 4.3 or below is that the phone manufacturers do not push updates. Google could fix 4.3 and below, but the manufacturers are no more likely to push that update than they are to just push a higher (and thus supported) version. The vast majority of people installing their own firmware aren't going to cry over 4.3, either. Why install a custom ROM with an obsolete Android?
You call it pedantry, but I'm proud as fuck about things that my ancestors did without any input whatsoever from me personally. You go, ancient awesome guys!
Speaking of clocks - the ring of a mechanical alarm clock (which some phones emulate now...).
The "mechanical" digital clocks which flipped down a little flap every minute with a distinct sound.
Lucky you - I got older and I hear that sound all the time!
No, but I have built a fuel injection computer. I've burned out injectors by using them over their duty cycle and leaned out an engine to the point of failure. But sorry, no explosions.
Well, then, that would also negate the AC's point.
It also had to land fully-loaded, because the military wanted to be able to bring stuff back from space.
I don't think the fuel is "extra"... I think it is safety margin fuel that would otherwise be wasted. Remember that this thing has to be able to make it to orbit even with the loss of an engine or two.
Every first stage ever made and flown has been simply thrown away after one use.
Neglecting the space shuttle, of course. And to be fair, even that threw away the fuel tank, which IIRC cost $50 million.
"Soon as" could be a long time. If it is long enough to drive a fracking company out of business, then it's long enough to drive an AE company out of business.
Probably because a lockup in the fuel-metering system would not cause the engine to explode.
It's not even available unless you can mount
You said that all the apps were "featureless".
No I didn't.
The windows app store has all that I want and need.
640 k ought to be enough for anybody.
