I like that iOS apps must explicitly ask for my permission to send notifications. Sadly, as my main phone is an Android device, I have to turn them off manually.
And at the end of the day - it worked to get the cousing to start laughing and stop thinking about how hurt they are.
For half a second? Because surely that joke didn't cure her sadness.
What a race, I was glued to the screen from the start to the VSC period. Oscar's overtake and defense were brilliant, Leclerc's defense against Perez before the crash was unbelievable too. What a race and racecraft.
Only to forget what it means by the next time you see this word.
Same. There are anyway much more games than one can find time to play them.
I'm surprised Norris isn't taking a new engine. Do they believe they won't need one?
Yeah but it takes a little bit more effort than winning a tournament if you want to post on reddit.

There is no more information yet, but I thought this might interest people here as I'm personally quite curious what caused that accident. Hopefully nobody was injured.
He's like an Argentinian Messi, but a racing driver.
I’m calling it right now, you’ll see her Jan 6, 2025 trying to break into the Capitol.
Indeed. You got to fight for your tattoos.
What are you talking about? Williams and their fans seem to be inseparable!
Mistakes happen. That could be worse.
Just in time for this silly media hype to die.

An Aerovias DAP de Havilland Dash 8-400, registration CC-DHT performing flight V5-420 from Punta Arenas to Puerto Williams (Chile), landed on Puerto Williams' runway 26 at 11:07L (14:07z) but struck its tail onto the runway surface. The aircraft rolled out without further incident. No injuries are being reported, the aircraft however sustained substantial damage.

This is not the final report yet, but it confirms that there was an issue with the icing conditions, and it was acknowledged by the crew. It also suggests a potential issue with the de-icing system? But maybe I just read it wrongly:
> 15:15:42 - a single chime was heard in the cockpit. Subsequently, the crew commented on the occurrence of an AIRFRAME DE-ICING Fault;
Some other excerpts from the sequence of events:
> 16:19:28 - at a speed of 184 kt., the DEGRADED PERFORMANCE alert was triggered, together with a single chime. The alert was triggered concomitantly with the exchange of messages between APP-SP and the crew;
> 16:20:00 - the Second in Command (SIC) commented, “a lot of icing”;
> 16:20:57 – during the turn, at a speed of 169 kt., the INCREASE SPEED alert was triggered, in conjunction with a single chime. Immediately afterwards, vibration noise was heard in the aircraft, simultaneously with the activation of the stall alert;
> 16:21:09 - control of the aircraft was lost, and it entered an abnormal flight attitude until colliding with the ground. The aircraft rolled to the left to a bank-angle of 52 degrees, and then rolled to the right to a bank-angle of 94 degrees, performing a 180-degree turn in a clockwise direction. Subsequently, the turn was reversed to an anticlockwise direction, with the aircraft completing five full rotations in a flat spin before crashing into the ground.
About those alerts:
> If the aircraft’s drag increased due to ice accumulation and performance was degraded, resulting in loss of cruise speed, alerts in three levels were triggered and presented to the pilots on both alert panels of the APM, as follows:
> 1st Level - CRUISE SPEED LOW.
> The blue-colored message would indicate performance degradation of around 10%, with reduction of the Indicated Air Speed (IAS) during the cruise phase by at least 10 kt. below the speed computed by the APM. This alert would be triggered only during the cruise phase.
> 2nd Level - DEGRADED PERFORMANCE.
> The amber-colored message would be followed by a single chime and a master caution alert, indicating a significant performance degradation in the range between 22% and 28%, induced by a significant increase in aerodynamic drag, causing a drop in cruise IAS of around 15 to 20 knots below the speed computed by the APM. This alert could be triggered during climb, cruise, or descent.
> 3rd Level - INCREASE SPEED.
> The amber-colored message would appear flashing, followed by a single chime and a master caution alert, indicating that the degraded performance condition had worsened , reaching an IAS value below the ICING BUG + 10 kt. This alert could be triggered during climb, cruise, or descent.

I've seen a lot of positive coverage in the recent days regarding this tentative agreement, but that coverage was rather shallow. This article goes deeper, adds many details, and confirms that the story is not that simple.
> A problem unfolded several minutes after take-off on flight CX383 from Hong Kong to Zurich on Monday, according to flight tracking service FlightRadar24. The five-year-old A350-1000 plane performed two wide circles and dumped fuel over the sea before returning to Hong Kong where it landed safely about 75 minutes after its departure. Cathay Pacific said it identified an engine component failure after the aircraft returned to Hong Kong.
> Cathay Pacific has not specified which engine component failed, but the carrier said it was the "first of its type to suffer such failure on any A350 aircraft worldwide".
> The airline said it had "identified a number of the same engine components that need to be replaced" but did not say on which model aircraft.
I decided to post this link because I personally didn't expect that to happen:
> Regional carrier Voepass said in a statement sent to Reuters that the move was "necessary" as it now has one less aircraft in its fleet of ATR turboprops. Voepass said the measure was aimed at "minimizing potential delays and flight cancellations." Daily flights to nine locations will be interrupted at least until Oct. 26, when Voepass will reassess its network while planning for the next season, it said.
While the article does not specify how many planes they currently have, it seems that the number falls into the "not enough" category.
The door plug blowout on a 737 Max has brought all types of unwanted attention and legal problems to Boeing since the January 5 Alaska Airlines flight. This week Boeing tried its best to put the best possible face on its actions.
Hitler? Nah, I'd leave that to you guys.
Hi!
I often read suggestions to use something like Tailscale to create a tunnel between a home server and a VPS because it is allegedly safer than opening a port for WireGuard (WG) or Nginx on my router and connecting to my home network that way.
However, if my VPS is compromised, wouldn't the attacker still be able to access my local network? How does using an extra layer (the VPS) make it safer?
