They leave the Boeing and Soyuz up there, then when it's time, gas 'em up and have them act as controlled thrusters. Everything burns up in the atmosphere. All problems solved.
Saves them $800M and change.
So I'm riding in a bike lane and have one of these. It goes off. What exactly am I going to do about it? I can't ride through parked cars, or thump up on the sidewalk each time. Slowing down or stopping means they hit me sooner. I probably shouldn't swerve into traffic.
Maybe I could speed up, but if this alarm is going off, a much faster car is coming at me from behind.
I suppose I could put my affairs in order and find religion. Thanks modern technology!
4 points! If he doesn't beat Sunak, there's no justice in this world.
Many years ago, folks figured out how to crack firmware and find embedded keys. Since then, there have been many technological advances, like secure enclaves, private/public key workflows, attestation systems, etc. to avoid this exact thing.
Hopefully, the Rabbit folks spec'd a hardware TPM or secure-enclave as part of their design, otherwise no amount of firmware updating or key rotation will help.
There's a well-established industry of Android crackers and this sort of beating will keep happening until morale improves.
So, like teenagers learning to drive stick.
Looked like it happened right after takeoff. Can't imagine what it would be like an hour away from an airstrip at 5000 ft.
Also, fortunate not to get hit in the face by insects when near ground. Have seen it happen to passengers in convertibles going 60. No fun.
Was just listening to the latest episode of Dot Social podcast where there was a discussion with CEO of Ghost (alternative to Substack). They're integrating ActivityPub into the platform, but where they're going with it is that you can use your Fediverse ID instead of email to sign up.
Once they have that worked out, any likes or comments automatically migrate back to the fediverse. Replies back to replies also show up in your timeline and your followers can see them. This makes discovery pretty effortless. They can also use the stats to keep track of engagement across all fediverse services.
It also means turning one-way streams like RSS (podcasting), email services, and commenting services into common two-way communities.
You're now going beyond just catching up to existing services and doing things just not possible in closed silos. Real "Aha!" moment.
Holy Guacamole! CHP is waiting for emergency salsa and chips trucks.
It lets you import base maps and create stylized overlays, with artifacts like terrain symbols, map legends, and icon sets (extra cost for some of those). You can even draw line routes on top.
The import process is a bit wonky. Not sure you can bring in multiple backgrounds, copy/paste is a bit random, and it's a bit fiddly about file formats. It also sometimes would crash so important to save often, but the output is really nice. Also has a Mac version.
Good thing we're not with State Farm.
No, wait...
