Serious question: what is a US multinational?

No, much like staging a coup of the U.S. government and threatening the sovereignty of free nations, it’s unethical, and the punishment should be proportional to the punishment for those offenses, according to severity.

I don’t see any exclamation marks here, just the Metal Gear alert sound.

Merged -> gone gold

Deployed -> gone platinum

Gone a week without crashing production -> triple platinum

• Push directly to master, not main
• No command line args, just change the global const and recompile
• No env vars either
• Port numbers only go up to 5280, the number of feet in a mile
• All auth is just a password; tokens are minority developers, not auth, and usernames are identity politics
• No hashes – it’s the gateway drug to fentanyl
• No imports. INTERNAL DEVELOPERS FIRST
• Exceptions are now illegal and therefore won’t occur, so no need to check for them
• SOAP/XML APIs only
• No support for external machines. If it’s good enough for my machine, it’s good enough for yours.

Do Americans not have any “protest” votes, either third party candidates, or “declining” your ballot? To me, that shows that you are politically engaged and willing to take a few minutes out of your day to do your civic duty, rather than being apathetic and/or lazy.

That’s a weird flex by South Canada.

The change reflects Google’s policy of adhering to official government names for geographical locations.

OK, so why am I seeing Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America) from Canada?

No one thinks VPNs are “magic bullets”. I don’t know why this gets repeated ad nauseum.

Ooh, I know why! It’s because YouTubers hawk their preferred (sponsored) VPN as if it was silver bullet and that it’s dangerous to use your mobile device out in public or worse – public WiFi – without it. You can’t blame John or Jane Doe from parroting what their favourite YouTuber claimed.

As a quick note - location shared was not very precise (but still in the same postal index), I guess due to the fact that iPhone was connected to WiFi and had no SIM installed. If it was LTE, I bet the lat/lon would be much more precise.

And this was with location services off. How precise is a “postal index” in the author’s country (presumably Spain) I wonder.

I’d like to inform myself on this topic more. Have you found any discussions or observations that you could link to, by chance?

I disagree that its an obvious fail state. Surely with all of these airlines flying thousands of passengers, where users watch infotainment on their own devices, mostly with bluetooth, we’d have at least a handful or reports of spotty bluetooth on flights, right? Where are they, then?

And the entire plane wouldn’t be on Bluetooth headphones if the in-flight infotainment systems supported it as an option so what’s your point?

I assume Graphene won’t work with my employer’s MDM software. :/

No, you bring your own.

I’ve been on budget flights where in flight infotainment was an app on your phone that connects to a media server on the plane itself. Everyone was using Bluetooth and there are no issues.

Also consider smart watches.

Loads of people use Bluetooth devices on airplanes already. Are there any reports of destructive interference as is?

Number of stews who have the time to help you figure out the pairing rigamarole or why the radio on this unit is fucked: ZERO.

No help necessary. Leave it as an advanced option and provide those who request assistance a cheap pair of 3.5 mm headphones. SOLVED.

Number of issues with regular fucking headphones: zero.

1. Wire gets caught in my limbs because the seating area is so tight.

2. Wire jack is tucked up from people pulling headphones at odd angles. Wortsst case scenario (has happened to me): the jack is inoperable, incapable of holding headphones without continuous, upwards pressure.

3. No active noise canceling (you might still be able to find ANC wired headphones but they are a niche product if they still exist).

4. An extra item to pack, since my phone requires a dangle to use 3.5 mm headphones, so I either pack a dangle, or another pair of headphones for using with my phone.

Cases where the tinniness will impact your enjoyment of visual spooge: zero

I’m sorry you’re not able to appreciate hifi sound but that’s a a you problem.

People stopping you from buying some $15 apple 3.5mm pods for your earballs: zero

Those sound like shit compared to the expensive pair of wireless ear buds that I already own.

I’m thinking you’ll be fine. Leave the air safety officers alone so they can do their job.

Of course I’m fine. But what’s this nonsense about bothering air safety officers? Nobody is berating airline employees about bluetooth headphones lol.
