How many airports (relatively / percentage) are in the same situation: that localisers need to be elevated? I've read that apparently this 17 year old airport is only international (like this Muan-Bangkok route) for 3 weeks. I guest that means more flights and/or bigger airplanes... Maybe indeed something that can't be solved. Or level the whole runway/airfield (if realistic, probably not), or make this airfield not international anymore.

From what I understand he was late and grabbed that jeans, which was laying in sight in his hotel room. He had allowed trousers: I think this was the 2nd day of the championships and 1st day no problems. He was informed on time (a couple of hours) to replace the jeans and the hotel was closeby.

Maybe Bluesky say they it will never train generative AI on its users' data, so that users know they don't have an incentive to make Bluesky more suitable for that. Of course, because in the open, it is difficult to prevent 3d parties scraping for whatever reason (legal or not). If everybody clearly knows about all that: they can act as they see fit. Like not posting stuff on Bluesky that should remain more private.

Comment Re:Support should be shorter (Score 1) 106

I wasn't thinking about LTS kernel version > 2 years concerning the support of new HW. I'm more concerned about discovered security bugs the remain unpatched after 2 years. Do these security bugs not occur that often and if they do: will the most important still be patched? I guess the distributions have time to adapt, if necessary. The new LTS kernel beginning next year is the first with only 2 instead of 6 years of support. It seems that Ubuntu 'HWE' kernel is indeed also applicable for Linux Mint (not surprising).

One of the most popular Linux distributions, Linux Mint latest version at the moment (21.2, Victoria) uses Linux kernel lts version 5.15, which is almost 2 years old... Maybe I'm missing something, but are they claiming almost everyone one is upgrading most of their Linux distributions fairly regularly to the latest version (or use a newer, non OS default kernel)?

Maybe chess.com has some proof he cheated online a couple of times years ago, but that doesnâ(TM)t equal to proof Hans cheated over the board against Magnus earlier this year. Sure the lawsuit is exaggerated and Hans will probably loose it, but speaking of making accusations without proof: Magnus started here. Letâ(TM)s hope he wonâ(TM)t be able to force organisers to not invite Hans for chess tournaments where Magnus is also playing. That would be a bad example IMHO
