Pay attention to which comment you think you are responding to and which claims have been made.

Read and think carefully. You don't need to defeat every listed security feature to get a TV without malware from the factory. The usual suspects sell LCD driver boards for $20 to $200. The Apple hardware modding community figured this out a decade ago.

In my experience, most of the value in good software development is creates before a line or code is written. Itâ(TM)s in the specifications, getting the business logic right, asking the right questions, designing a good architecture, etc. which AI is not even close to becoming good at.

Even modestly competent developers should not be threatened by AI. But even the best coders are replaceable as has been seen in the past few years.

Wizards have been using generative AI assistance since the mid 2000s. Finance professionals have been automating work since the 1960s. Folks have been using compilers instead of writing machine code for decades.

Outsourcing the non-value adding parts of the work to automation wonâ(TM)t hurt the folks who put time into learning and knowing what theyâ(TM)re doing. Where this could be impactful is for folks who donâ(TM)t know what theyâ(TM)re doing and are unwilling to put in the effort to get good.

Ive not yet played NMS, but exploration games are a thing that attracts a certain demographic.

For example, I hate the mission aspect of games like Fallout, GTA etc, but love just exploring the worlds - seeing what is over the next horizon etc. I havent played a multiplayer computer game in more than 15 years at this point,

So why isnt it mandated for homes and all devices that receive radio currently?

Why is my car the only thing that *has* to receive AM?

This is another bullshit “I have a hobby horse and Im going to fucking ride it at everyone elses expense” political move.

Which doesnt “fix” the underlying issue - the browser is leaking data about you against your knowledge and permission.

That sounds like a flaw in the browser. That should probably be fixed.

Watermark removal is available for almost no cost now. Google Translate and then back. Or just pop the text into Grammarly, etc.

You can piggy back on the civilian infrastructure without ever exposing devices - just require all devices to access anything beyond the local network via a specific router, which pushes all traffic over a VPN, and nothing goes out over the naked internet as its all dropped if its not going over the VPN. Then all you need to ensure are thoroughly audted and hardened are those routers - everything else cant hit the internet.

Im intimately familiar with range-payload charts.

You have to take my sentence as a whole - I say that its both low density and premium heavy. The low density is because of the range-payload drop off, the premium heavy is because Qantas will make more money with the premium cabin, so thats where the bulk of the weight allowance goes.

The airlines reputation isnt going anywhere, DVT is a known risk on a lot of long haul currently in operation, yet you dont hear anything about airlines getting negative PR about it. This route will be no different. Its a bit longer, but not massively.

Qantas already have it set at around 40% premium seating, with around 140 economy or economy plus seating at 33 inch pitch, and 98 premium seats (first, business and premium economy).

Its a low density, premium heavy cabin precisely because thats what the route demands - they have structured it around what premium seating they can fill, and what economy they might fill. Its no secret that airlines make almost all of their passenger profit from premium seats, and economy is often just about break even, so theres no point in cramming more economy in for this route.

Yes, its a stunt - but it also shows off the capabilities of the aircraft perfectly.

Boeing dis something wimilar years ago with the 777.

Then the health issues are on the passenger in that case, the airline provided facilities to use but the passenger chose to not use it. But the facilities were provided, thats the important thing.

Its a route proving flight, part of the A350-1000ULRs certification - and Toulouse is Airbuses biggest base of operations, where the A350 production line is based.

The aircraft was going there to be painted and handed over to Qantas after certification is granted.

When it goes into airline service, Qantas will be flying it from Melbourne and Sydney to London Heathrow.

The final cabin layout when this route starts in customer service will be significantly premium heavy with less economy than normal, and has standing exercise areas for all cabins, so you are encouraged to get up and stretch your legs.
