If you actually read into the case it's more complicated than just it's Airbus fault. It was caused by one of the confused pilots input. Why they were confused is a complicated story.

Gripen will not be able to fly higher than tree lines in zones with active anti-air. Russia can't really use any of it's air power in Ukraine war, for example.

F35 can actually do something in such scenarios, as detecting them in the first place is hard.

Subscribing to a mailing list is not a relationship at all.

$20 per year on US is not the same value across the world. Would you say $60 per year is ok too, if you adjusted for income? 100$?

Don't count other people money.

whatevaa — Thu, 14 May 2026 14:08:02 +0000

Pretty difficult to code OS to take advantage of that. Basically need NUMA, which increases overall overhead.

Otherwise, you may end up filling up your fast memory with some cold data.

The enemy is using them against you anyway, so you are just losing out.

Are talking about brake-by-wire? Where brakes are controlled by electric only, and if electrics die, no brakes?

These are dangerous. Cars are not maintained to aircraft standards and will never be.

Android and IOS are controlled by US companies. And both google and apple can ban you for no reason.

whatevaa — Thu, 30 Apr 2026 20:48:06 +0000

Stop blaming the reporter. Start asking kernel to fix their process. Linux kernel is no longer a toy project, it has full time employees employed by various companies. They should have handled notifying distributions. Not some rando.

whatevaa — Sat, 25 Apr 2026 12:11:26 +0000

Are you gonna run thunderbolt more than a few meters? If you think 10 is expensive, check prices above 10. You may even need fiber for that.

No. But there is more control than with petrol. An if you have more charger, could balance charginf during off-peak cheaper hours.

Can't do anything about petrol. Pay or gtfo.
