Indeed. We don’t know the conditions of the test. Maybe it was running the engines through a simulated flight. Or they were testing the engine in different failure modes to see if it shuts itself down or takes care of the problem correctly. Or they were doing a deliberate test to failure where a RUD is the expected result.
About all this is doing is making me update my lists in UBO more often.
Pixel Buds are the same way. IIRC from a teardown vid, those earbuds (and I’m guessing most of their competitors’ too) are designed to be quasi-disposable in this way. They’re glued together, the only way to open them up destroys them, warranty support consists of replacing defective earbuds.
This business model does create an e-waste issue… More lithium ion batteries ending up in landfills, more gold extracted from components by kids in developing nations burning them and breathing the carcinogens…
LOL - sink dish soap in the dishwasher!
I have made that error once… Lucy, you got some ‘splainin’ to do!
TikTok’s parent corporation is strongly tied to the Chinese gov’t and the CCP. So yes, they do, though of course they deny it…
Barista working a Karen convention.
All mushrooms are edible! Some only once…
Never underestimate the bandwidth of a truck full of flash drives. The latency’s most annoying though.
Lemmy, and occasionally getting actual work done.
Camera angle… The camera looks like it’s set up high, so arrestees have to tilt their heads up when getting their mugshots. Tends to give people a Kubrick Stare.

Yep Prigozhin was a monster. My only regret is that he and Putin didn’t die together with their hands around each other’s throats. And in other news, I think I’ll have tacos for lunch from my favorite local hole-in-the-wall…
Time to up the spoofing game. Maybe some AI-generated traffic to throw off the packet analytics.
Yep. The BBC & NPR found that out. Notice that the BBC stood up their own Mastodon instance - they know the value of owning one’s house instead of renting.
Exactly. Thus the spelling & grammar errors, the obviously far-fetched story. They want the people who don’t raise red flags when they see that nonsense.
They’re filtering for stupid.
And then the plan to force everyone to abandon Firefox whether they like it or not.
At that point, the userbase of anything that’s not Chrome or not DRM’d to death will be so eroded that virtually everyone else will abandon Firefox support, DRM will get enabled by default. Also, comes the lobbyists to Congress demanding changes to the DMCA to throw users in prison who dare to try to crack the DRM to block ads. “Ad-blocking is stealing!”
Lobbyists engineering bills in Congress to prohibit this and throw people in prison for it through additions to the DMCA in 3…2…1…
I think it depends on the particular volcanoes. The volcanoes in Iceland and Hawaii, IIRC, have thinner and less gassy magma, so there’s not as much gas buildup, and the eruptions tend to have more liquid lava. Elsewhere, say Mt. St. Helens, the eruptions tend to have thick lava, with lots of trapped gas inside, that tend to cause giant explosions, pyroclastic flows & big ash clouds.
Go anti-woke, go broke, Apartheid Boy!
