Yes, it is how they work.

Any satellite connectivity is a part of the in-flight connectivity solution that is sequestered to the passenger WLAN.

You still don't know what the fuck you are talking about, and I'm tired of it. Stop trying to tell people that work on these systems, and develop these systems literally every day how you think they work, because you do not know anything.

Neither do they work by having an engineer walk onto a plane with terabytes of data in his hand

So when the summary of the article specifically mentions the "data loader" device that they use, you are saying that they don't use a data loader device to load things into aircraft.

You are still a fucking moron. Here's another hint for you: when an airline is spending several million dollars to outfit an aircraft with in-flight entertainment hardware, they don't throw that hardware out every year. You can very likely tell this is the case if you pay attention to the seat-back hardware - it's likely running ANDROID 7 for fucks sake.

You think they rip out the headends and replace them with any greater frequency, when each rack costs about a quarter-million dollars?

Fucking moron. Stay in your lane.

Just because they *can* make a product segment does not mean that they will.

Besides, if GM got to work today, they might have a viable product in 4 years. And in that time, the already viable products being made by Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi, etc. will already be here serving the purpose because they already exist and all they need to do is roll a few thousand of them into a container ship.

Besides, if your average car buyer in North America wanted smaller, they already would be buying smaller vehicles than the giant crossover shitboxes they are buying. It's not like you can't find a Corolla Hatchback if you want to.

There's far more information available now than there ever was.

You didn't have gopher?

The Internet was, and still is, more than http/https. But that's only for people who know their way around it. The rest of you are like the fat kid on a boy scout camp-out when the bear (Google) arrives. As long as you keep it fed, we'll be safe.

Git gud.

I back one car into the garage, around another that is sitting in that driveway "lane". Because the doors are wide, there's a workbench against the wall and keeping the driver's door in the center is the only way to get in/out. And I only have 6" clearance from either side mirror.

I'm one of the few people in my neighborhood that makes use of my garage for ... automobiles.
