You knew this. Just imagine the tiger with slit pupils and your brain will “wtf”. Same with panthers, lions, snow leopards, mountain lions…

Next in AI: realistic eyes!

Just someone looking to exploit Americans for more money.

…and extend the ability of governments and especially corporations to control what you see and hear. From ads to what “facts” they want you to see.

You’re conflating two things. One is GPS, which is designed to stop functioning above 1,000 knots to prevent it from being used in a missile.

The other is the interference of which I spoke having to do with electronics like cellphones that operate at harmonics that overlay frequencies used by aircraft navigation systems. It can be demonstrated that they do indeed interfere, but so many things have to happen to make the interference happen it’s wildly unlikely. So many things have changed over the years that prevent this from happening, like cellphones operate at lower power, personal electronics are better shielded, and operate at lower power. On top of that, the aircraft’s RF and EM shielding would have to be damaged in just the right spot, and the electronic device would have to be right near the damage.

As far as cell towers go, most phones are too weak to make a good connection from all but the lowest altitudes, and you’re moving fast enough that it can’t handshake the next tower and negotiate the connection quick enough to have a good connection except maybe st the slowest speeds and altitude on approach for landing.

I did a minor study on this exact subject, but it’s been decades, so the details are fuzzy.

Trump has made over a billion dollars his first year in office this term. It’s amazing how much money you can hoard when taxpayers give it to you, businesses pay you homage, business deals just fall into your lap, and you use the government lawyers and taxpayer money to defend yourself from suits.

Here comes America’s “Four Pests” campaign.

I don’t think that.

The odds of any phone interfering, interfering with a critical system, interfering with that system at a critical time, and interfering substantially enough to cause a deviation that would be not caught by the crew, and the deviation was significant enough to cause damage…are miniscule.

Turn your phone off to hear the safety briefing.

I just think you’re an asshole who is apparently too good for the rules or request of the flight crew.

Former rose garden, now “tacky patio”.

A Palantir manifesto based on a book written by another Palantir founder.

This is how cults work, a reinforced circlejerk. The exclusion of outside sanity, recycling and reinforcing internal views, and of course having billionaire Gods leading the way.

Yay? Making money generating more bs and ragebait. Like those stories about kids having bake sales for dad’s cancer treatment.

I know. Just offering a sarcastic take because the republicans used to be all “government out of the market”, but not a peep about that anymore.

So much for free market.

It’s been around for several years. It’s probably been passed around so much that the image quality degraded and someone sharpened it with AI which disrupted the text.

I saw this probably 6-7 years ago on reddit, the answer was that the appliance was attempting to download and install an update, then failing the update for some reason, so it was constantly re-downloading the patch all day.

Nothing nefarious or AI slop (other that some crappy image correction) about this.

That’s being a tourist.

Otherwise, who is making and serving the drinks and lunch?

Trump certainly has a “type”

No idea, I don’t use it.

Dude screwed up a lot of people’s birthdays or whatever.

Yeah, we’re headed toward Ubik rules alright.

Airlines ABSOLUTELY change their prices if you repeatedly check routes to a city. I have watched them change by over $100 over a few hours a day when contemplating a trip using their flight searches.

I now do all the flight route and time checking with a browser private window, no location being served, and VPN with an exit far from where I am, then use a phone on a cellular network to do any booking or vice versa in order to prevent tracking or some sort of identifying hash they might grab.

It’s such a cheapass scam to basically gouge a customer based on interest.
