... as some well meaning albeit flawed tech hero. He's not.

He's just another corporate sociopath - the only thing that matters to him is money and power. He'll only help out when its suits his purposes such as for Good PR , but like a lot of bullies he's also a coward to so won't put up when he really needs to such as in blocking starlink inside parts of russia.

The guys who make the most noise are usually the ones with the smallest balls.

Unless there's CCTV watching every charging point how would they prove it? You think the police have time to DNA sample every tack and force every adult in the local area to give a sample?

Idiot.

They'll soon get the message.

You cant fire someone for following current company policy.

FTA:

"Some older A320 jets will need entirely new computers rather than a simple software reset, raising questions about how long those aircraft will remain grounded amid global chip shortages."

Given the "update" is back to an older version of the software wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to wait for an update to the latest code rather than ripping out computers to replace with older hardware which will have to taken out again and re-upgraded when the fix eventually does come out?

Putin has gone way beyond any semblence of being an intelligent leader. He's become nothing more than a white equivalent of a psychopathic and corrupt african style banana republic leader who only cares about money and staying in power. He won't give a damn about russias space ability now.

Hardware can be physically inspected, software once installed cannot. All you can do is test it.

Yeah, good luck with that absurd idea. A lot of people who work in factories have no higher skills , banging widgets is what they do and grunt work or not, it gives them a sense of purpose.

Yeah, great idea. Do a remote OTA update on a plane about to carry 200 passengers to 40K feet without bothering to test it first. What could possibly go wrong.

Do you understand the difference in safety requirements between a car and an airliner?

From the directive:

"This condition, if not corrected, could lead in the worst-case scenario to an uncommanded elevator
movement that may result in exceeding the aircraftâ(TM)s structural capability."

Thats a bit worrying. Surely the fuselage should be able to cope with any possible elevator input or am I being naive?

" Radiation levels on Mars are on average 0.64mSv per day. Radiation levels in Ramsar, Iran are 0.71mSv per day"

Oh really?

https://marspedia.org/Radiatio...

"The average natural radiation level on Mars is 24-30 rads or 240-300 mSv per year[1][2]. This is about 40-50 times the average on Earth. "

"An astronaut on a mission to Mars could receive radiation doses up to 700 times higher than on our planet "

Best check your facts next time instead of relying on chatgpt or whatever AI slop you got yours from.

That was the incident that triggered it apparently. Tbh a 100 foot drop in altitude in 7 seconds is hardly divebombing territory.

... then see how well your economy performs when you have mass civil unrest. And all the tech bros who BS about paying people to do nothing using AI profits - yeah, people on benefits always find constructive things to do with their time, they never get depressed due to lack of purpose and end up on drinks, drugs or in prison.

Holdern asks Leon the time...
Leon looks at his Casio and tells him.
Roll end credits.

Hmm.....
