Yes, it is how they work.

Any satellite connectivity is a part of the in-flight connectivity solution that is sequestered to the passenger WLAN.

You still don't know what the fuck you are talking about, and I'm tired of it. Stop trying to tell people that work on these systems, and develop these systems literally every day how you think they work, because you do not know anything.

So when the summary of the article specifically mentions the "data loader" device that they use, you are saying that they don't use a data loader device to load things into aircraft.

You are still a fucking moron. Here's another hint for you: when an airline is spending several million dollars to outfit an aircraft with in-flight entertainment hardware, they don't throw that hardware out every year. You can very likely tell this is the case if you pay attention to the seat-back hardware - it's likely running ANDROID 7 for fucks sake.

You think they rip out the headends and replace them with any greater frequency, when each rack costs about a quarter-million dollars?

Fucking moron. Stay in your lane.

Just because they *can* make a product segment does not mean that they will.

Besides, if GM got to work today, they might have a viable product in 4 years. And in that time, the already viable products being made by Toyota, Honda, Mitsubishi, etc. will already be here serving the purpose because they already exist and all they need to do is roll a few thousand of them into a container ship.

Besides, if your average car buyer in North America wanted smaller, they already would be buying smaller vehicles than the giant crossover shitboxes they are buying. It's not like you can't find a Corolla Hatchback if you want to.

There is nothing new about that at all.

I work for a company that would much rather sell product to end customers at full price than to keep a portion of our limited production output to ourselves for no revenue at all. It probably shouldn't surprise many people that we would rather keep customers happy by delivering on the promised schedule while taking in a lot of money from them for the privilege, and finding other ways to satisfy the internal need, such as sharing with other teams that might already have what is needed.

TBF I'm referring to our product that we only make about 3,000 of a year; and each one has been spoken for for a few years already and costs about a quarter-million per copy, so all things may not be equal.

Chicken Little effect.

In the standard operation of Windows, you are presented with so many stupid permissions dialogs for shit that isn't a problem, that you reflexively approve on things that could be problems.

When everything tells you the sky is falling, you don't pay attention when the sky actually falls.

I don't, but I'm also not running Chrome. Firefox (and siblings) still allows the full uBlock Origin experience that makes all this crap go away by default.

Someone start up the irony bilge pump! We're being flooded with irony!

So your solution is to stamp your feet and expect the authors of every single game, ever, to go through the job of porting to the moving target of ARM platforms, so that you can juice out on that additional 2 frames per second?

How about companies that aren't even around any more? You gonna pay someone to do that, after wrangling up the rights?

Or, how about you just be happy that other people are solving the problem in the only way it can be possibly solved, and they're giving you more software availability than you had yesterday for no cost.

Good fucking lord you're an entitled asshole.

You are apparently utilizing an incredibly wide and imprecise definition of "facts." And I also don't know why you are referring to some fictional debate between this proven idiot and the former VP, but you do you.

Consider the following facts:

Kamala Harris holds a doctorate degree in law, passed the Bar exam in California, and was a successful prosecutor who racked up convictions against multiple felons including child molestation and trafficking. She was elected to several posts in California including winning a statewide race to become a United States Senator. And as a candidate to be President, she received the endorsement of somewhere north of 48% of the nationwide electorate.

Pete Hegseth has been credibly accused of sexual misconduct and financial untrustworthiness after running so-called charitable organizations into the ground. He was a back-bench weekender on a propaganda network before somehow becoming known to the current President who put his own party's Senators into a headlock to confirm him when they knew he was vastly unqualified. And now he's credibly accused of at least overseeing (if not ordering) the first conclusively provable US-committed war crimes against civilians since the My Lai Massacre of the 1970s.

I'm thinking you might be indexing on the wrong attributes when you're selecting whom you would like to serve you in OUR government. This guy is a fucking disaster, and to say otherwise just shows that you're a coward cultist shill.

Well, if we're going to break out the bible verses in order to live by, let's go ahead and examine the one that all the evangelicals love to forget: that Jesus will know his followers by their ACTIONS instead of their words. Matthew 7:15-20 says "you will know them by their fruits" and right now there's a whole lot of bible-thumping so-called Christians that would sooner advocate for the crucifixion of a brown Palestinian jew telling people to love their neighbors, accept the strangers and poor, feed the hungry, and show empathy for their common person than listen.

Such a man would be dismissed as a "socialist libtard" long before any of these hypocrites actually listen and realize that is the core tenet of Christianity.

What value does 8 cylinders versus 6 in such an application bring? Are motorcycles lacking the torque that is available from having less rotational arc of the output shaft per cylinder that you get by adding more cylinders?

And why the fuck would I want a touchscreen on a motorcycle, when all the critical controls are out at the hand grips where your hands should be? Like the brakes, turn signals, lights, horn, etc.

None of that sounds "ahead" to me. It sounds like answers to questions nobody asked.

To think that because the rockets are the same general shape that they are "copied" is just about as stupid as saying that because today's laptops are the same form factor as the original PowerBook 100 from the early 90s, they are a "copy".

You have a severe lack of nuance, and I would submit that other than the general shape and function, today's rockets are NOTHING like what you claim.

The bad news is that the Google-maintained ingress-nginx is being deprecated. It was a functional and sane default that didn't have all the bells-and-whistles, but just proxied traffic.

The good news is that because the ingress definition for your apps are just API objects, any other ingress is more-or-less completely compatible with your ingress object as long as they aren't going off the deep end with custom resource definitions and such. For example, you can use the F5 NGINX Ingress Controller, maintained by NGINX for something that would be basically 1:1 - you would just need to add an `ingressClass: nginx` (or whatever the proper value for your chosen ingress controller) field to the YAML that defines the ingress (it may already be there) to tell it to use the new controller.

Because you're using microk8s, it might be interesting to know that other readymade-k8s solutions like k3s default to using Traefik, which does allow for some more interesting routing options without the full complexity of a service mesh.

It's very likely that now that Google has officially shut this project, the next builds of things like microk8s will just swap out their default ingress controller and call it a day.

Your whataboutism is a weak, stupid person's argument and isn't even tangentially related to anything being discussed here.

Go fuck your own face.

Who the hell just trusts AI code to not do bad things without at least looking it over once, or running it in a sandbox VM?

Anyone who does that deserves the output they get.

I'll let the entire avionics industry know that rando internet dipshit #2817221 disapproves. Meanwhile, we'll keep delivering solutions to airlines that they overwhelmingly approve of and continue spending billions of dollars to opt-in on, which comply with THEIR requirements.
