Aborting is standard practice for such things for multiple reasons:
1. Regulatory / legal: Dealing with potential problem people in a source country is preferable to just telling the destination country: "Yo bruh we're bringing a terrorist over, can you pick him up so that we can go through a lengthy extradition process to get him back?"
2. Opsec: The "bomb" hadn't exploded yet. You don't know why it hadn't exploded. Maybe it was timer based. Maybe it was GPS coordinate based. Maybe the target was the airport at Palma de Mallorca. Maybe it's not designed to go off but to be smuggled into the destination country. All we know was the target wasn't New Jersey.
3. Liability: A united plane dealing with an American airport in America with passengers in American jurisdiction makes for less legal headaches than unloading passengers in a foreign country straight into the hands of police.

Were we terrified? By all accounts the passengers seemed annoyed by the entire ordeal, and the bureaucracy (corporate and regulatory) not terrified.

The teenager's parents didn't turn the plane around for a non-issue, so why would they be able to do that?

What do you mean law? Who has been charged? Who is in jail? What does any of this have to do with the law or constitution?

To what end (for the consumer)? NVIDIA is targeting a PC so they are targeting the most commonly used OS (Windows) which has a perfectly functioning ARM build + x86 emulation layer already.

There's a LOT more work in doing something with RiscV than ARM right now as the latter has proven itself in software support already.

For the same reason you're currently on Windows. With other OSes available for your CPU architecture clearly the architecture has nothing to do with your choice.

By the time this launches into an actual product the rest of the datacentre bullshit will be over too. OpenAI has already cancelled Stargate (which was intending to consume 40% of Sk Hynix's production). Microsoft cancelled project Nova, along with about 2GW (because we measure datacentres in power consumption these days) of projects across the world. As of right now 50% of AI datacentre projects have either been indefinitely delayed or outright cancelled.

She was not charged for what she did 40 years ago - statutes of limitations made sure of that. She was charged for what she did way later - several armed robberies, the last one mere 10 years ago. Also for an attempted murder.

Lacking substance is not a betrayal of the core fans. Gaslighting, changing the world, retconning, that would be a betrayal (you remember the new trilogy? think that!). By all accounts this was just a bit of a "meh" nothing of a story. No one was betrayed, but no one actually pleased either.

How so? You know making a feature movie involves more than putting your phone down on the park bench, twerking and uploading the footage to Tiktok along with a 5 second snippet of a popular song right?

The people who did what you describe have nothing to do with the current film. The current film is an iteration of a streaming show that has precisely zero of the things (including the characters) you describe and was much loved by the fans.

The new trilogy movies were utter trash in every possible way, but that didn't eliminate the core fans - there was much to love and much has been loved in the star was franchise after those steaming three turds.

Solving a minute problem is still revolutionary if that minute problem is preventing a process from being viable, which both the brine and the solar efficiency problems very much were.

Maybe your problem is that you were biased by your 1st world privilege, but right now many of the places have no power during a sunny day and a windy day as well. Ironically Africans seem to be more educated about power than you are e.g. SA is currently planning 11GWh of grid batteries to go with their solar projects.

But I guess you think your mobile phone is powered by hopes and dreams and energy storage is some woke vaccinated nonsense right?

It's webscale.
