Yeah - was the brony/furry mascot original to the service or added by OP?

Who's saying they don't? One good thing doesn't negate another
There is a nuance missed in the discussion so far - Starlink is creating a new product level, differentiating service between continental and intercontinental aviation connectivity. Previously these were a single category.

If you are operating in North America for example, your service is going from $10k to $12.5k. Still a 25% increase, which is not fun, but I think a lot of the customers affected by this will fit into this category. You only need the $20k plan if your aircraft travels between their roughly-continental regions.

Nicholas Air, quoted in the article, appears to have no need for the $20k plan and should not use it.

It may be that the ideal number of ransomware operators is non-zero

What's the physical basis for this effect? Does it happen in reality or is it a style choice?
Re:How to Turn Anything into a Router on Monday March 30, 2026 @01:55PM (#47577546)
I wonder if consumer routers will end up being built in a trivially-not-a-router configuration - something akin to a pull-tab or turn of the screw that closes a circuit, transforming the device from legally something else into a router after it's purchased.

What a dumb timeline.

I would love to see this integrated into Flighty.
Re:Claude Code CLI Broken on Wednesday January 07, 2026 @04:15PM (#46532946)
Genuinely curious how a date in the subheader of a changelog could have broken the CLI

edit: it seems changelog.md is assumed to be structured data and parsed at startup, and there are no tests to enforce the changelog structure: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/16671

Why anyone would allow their TV to connect to the internet is beyond me.
Even the title "Orbital House of Cards" is unnecessarily editorializing.
Re:Self-hosting my photos with Immich on Saturday December 06, 2025 @12:55PM (#46175198)
I have to agree. I tried using it for a few months and it left me convinced I'll be paying for iCloud photos for the rest of my life.
While the FileVine service is indeed a Legal AI tool, I don't see the connection between this particular blunder and AI itself. It sure seems like any company with an inexperienced development team and thoughtless security posture could build a system with the same issues.

Specifically, it does not appear that AI is invoked in any way at the search endpoint - it is clearly piping results from some Box API.

Re:Nearly all UK drivers say headlights are too bright on Tuesday November 18, 2025 @12:12PM (#45969088)
Can confirm, my Model 3 had its lights angled too high from the factory. Only realized after a few people flashed their high beams at me during my first week driving.

Thankfully it was easy to adjust.

Should it be mandatory also for the maintainers to accept these contributions? Every project would degrade into pure entropy.

519 seems to have at least 3 solutions... feels a little underconstrained!
Re:Affinity Studio Now Free on Thursday October 30, 2025 @01:15PM (#45762432)
Did your email offer you the chance to pay yearly for $11/mo? Mine did, but I don't think the option to pay yearly exists.
Re:Airliner hit by possible space debris on Sunday October 19, 2025 @03:57PM (#45637402)
There should be small pieces of whatever they hit embedded in the body & glass of the aircraft. As long as they are analyzed, the cause of this won't remain a mystery forever.
Why do you believe the inter-satellite links are not working?

I'm still heartbroken about Grooveshark all these years later.
Re:Kagi News on Tuesday September 30, 2025 @02:02PM (#45428917)
I don't understand how this is 100% free, no subscriptions, no purchase, apparently no ads or tracking and yet I'm also the "customer" and not the product. What's the catch?
Re:This map is not upside down on Thursday September 18, 2025 @02:22PM (#45293159)
That seems to be due to the pseudocylindrical projection, not the rotation of the map.
Is this a joke because the site isn't loading at all?
Is the author arguing that corporations should not be able to carry forward net operating losses? Or that this one specific company shouldn't be allowed to?
Part of me wonders if the plug could be designed such that it's obvious when the bolts are missing. Would this have happened if it were impossible to assemble without them, or if it were easy to verify their presence?

Maybe it doesn't matter if a better design is possible - if adequate procedures exist and weren't followed, and oversight fails to catch instances of that, then anything could go wrong.

I was referring to Falcon
Four failed launches in a row, if you don't count all the successful launches.
