> Also took me about 5 minutes to find the cockpit view button after I'd selected a flight

Same here. Should be more prominent for a brand new feature!

Pretty cool. IDK if it's international connectivity issue or rendering, but I'm looking at this from Auckland and cities are just so slow to render - there's so much aliasing(?) artifacts.

Also we overshot runway, then went back albeit lower and then overshot again - I suspect there's connectivity issue (or HN hug). Also data really well delayed compared to adsbexchange.

Also - maybe add a button to take you to a Random Cockpit view (perhaps one with most live viewers (and add a chat there)).

Also cockpit noise would make me feel like I'm in xplane again lol. Also wonder if macOS PIP can be implemented for now video feeds.

Biggest lesson is Apple should allow you to downgrade OS, especially on old devices.

Or release some sort of open version once device is EOL'd.

Netflix can't even auto-translate subtitles (in the age of genai where we are close to generating entire movies from scratch). Let alone ever imagine that you'd want to see subtitles in two languages at once.

Language support is still such an enigma.

While user base is well into billions. There are bound to be niche exceptions like this.

IIRC Expose is now called Mission Control (four finger swipe up on my system).

My problem with it is that it's useless if you got more than few windows open - the preview is just too small to actually see which window you are after (it's all padded for the looks). IMO if they actually used tiles, potentially grouped by app - it would be so much useful.

Yabai looks cool tho, but requires so much permissions and potentially disabling system integrity protection that IDK if it's a go for me.

I finally test drove friends BYD Sealion 7. Yes interior is very nice, soft materials, etc (to a point where it almost feels tacky). Drive felt much softer than my mid-gen Model Y (almost too boaty and rolly but thats is completely fine for a family car).

The software is not great tho, really misses the point and I can see why people hate touchscreens. No single pedal driving (idk perhaps they haven't enabled it), no phone as key, no profiles, engine start/stop button.

Overall I'd say people are sold on features without looking in depth what you get with Tesla. And Tesla still outselling any other brand here in NZ.

Hope I can try out Zeekr 7x performance in couple of weeks. I heard a lot of good things about it.

750 Hz. Baby crying sound is around 300-400 Hz and let me tell you my airpods pro definitely let me hear the baby cry. I think Apple built that as an obvious safety feature.

Interestingly, all the shrillness noises (chalkboard, balloon or polystyrene screech) are in similar frequency too.

Iran leadership would be honored to die while trying to destroy Israel and save Iran. They don't care about death.

It's the same fatalistic mentality as in Russia. They don't give a shit. They almost enjoy suffering as it's part of their ethos.

I recently got to a first practical use of it. I was on a plane, filling landing card (what a silly thing these are). I looked up my hotel address using qwen model on my iPhone 16 Pro. It was accurate. I was quite impressed.

After some back and forth the chat app started to crash tho, so YMMV.

Ask Mode is pretty great. Wish they’d just summarise all the video titles for me so I could avoid bait.
