lol WeChat who has a defacto government granted monopoly in exchange for all customer data being given to the government is going to drive the innovation?

You’re also assuming there are no other shareholders………..

Sure, maybe those 106 are sharing 10% but I doubt it.

There are many places things get done for refurbishment of seats and interiors - lots in China.

All places doing heavy C and D checks are FAA certified, for US registered airlines regardless of where they do the work.

Delta Techops does lots of work on their own planes and others.

Small airlines won’t be able to afford to run their own heavy check facilities and will certainly outsource.

It will also keep the ambient temperature closer to the target temperature once the cast iron is fully preheated by absorbing heat while the element is on and radiating heat back into the oven when the element is off.

I mean, pretending to touch someone’s boobs for a funny photo without actually making physical contact, while you’re on a USO tour as a comedian seems like we kinda can speak to the situation.

HAMR is still not out, but will be 30+TB. We’ve had 20+TB drives for a long time. They’ve been plateaud there for a while.

Price per GB hasn’t really been coming down much on CMR/SMR.

Which was my point. Until HAMR is in use and at mass production, storage costs haven’t really come down.

They’ve been out for a while, but it’s the same SMR tech. HAMR/MAMR are just starting to get going that will enable the next leap. But they’re not shipping in volume and reliability isn’t yet known. It’ll be a bit before you see them in widespread use.

Enterprise NVMe drives can do sustained writes of 7GB/s no problem. That’s 58Gbps plus overhead.

That’s to a single drive.

If you are a film crew connecting and ingesting multiple raw 8k 120hz video to be edited, this is very useful

As to whether they use USB4 v2 or thunderbolt, I’m not sure it matters. They look pretty similar, but with thunderbolt it’s very easy to know what the interface is capable of. Good luck when something says “USB 4”.

USB-C is just a connector - thunderbolt uses the exact same connector.

Storage and creative use cases, 100%. If you have several TBs coming off each camera per day, you will 100% feel the pain.

Just driving two 4K monitors at 40Gbps is pretty much all of the bandwidth of TB3, assuming you’re doing 10b 120hz.

A modern NVMe can easily do 50-60Gbps per drive.

You still need copper unless you don’t want to transmit power too.

Interestingly, fiber technically has more latency than copper - light moves slower through fiber than electrons through copper.

We X-ray these things all the time.

Many many airliners have slid off runways all the time and reenter service.

For decades Boeing sold a 737 Gravel Kit for their planes to minimize FOD ingest on unimproved surfaces.

The gear didn’t collapse. The damage is probably fairly minimal, including the engines which were probably at idle, and they most likely didn’t use or need thrust reversers.

Not saying it’s a certainty if this happened in the US or EU that it would fly again, but it isn’t impossible.

I will say it’s unlikely because getting it out of a field in one piece is no small task - and probably more expensive than the plane is worth relative to the parts value, but not because of any inherent damage. Just because the engines are the most valuable thing on a plane and much easier to take those off the plane than move the airframe without damaging it more.

Yes, but that’s been slowing. They’re reaching limits until the next advance in HDDs.

Flash is still much more expensive per GB.

Power costs, server costs and Datacenter space are going up.

It’s more complicated than that. There are lots of people that will be very annoyed when they unbox their iPhone and their plug that they don’t think about at all doesn’t work in the 7 places they’ve left them.

Just wait.

Because I have to think about it and remember to do it. And have enough storage in my laptop that it can store all my full res files and bring that with me everywhere.

And hope my laptop doesn’t get stolen again. Or have a plan to back that up.

I currently do literally nothing and all my photos and videos are seamlessly everywhere.

I’m not sure I understand how anyone could think syncing over a cable is a better solution.

iCloud backups and photo sync is amazing, especially while traveling. I can be almost anywhere and break or lose or hVe my phone stolen and lose virtually no data anywhere in the world.

My photos and videos are backed up as soon as I take them, not 12 hours later when I plug into a computer, if I remember to and no one steals it in the hotel room.

I don’t know any Apple users who actually use the cable. iCloud is effortless.

I don’t think it’s so much to force people to pay for storage insomuch as only people shooting 4k 60 long videos or people with very poor internet actually plug in to transfer data.

I would hate plugging my phone into my computer even if it were instant.

It can be much higher - depends on how much color information you’re sending, and what the refresh rate is.

The DisplayPort spec (which alt mode runs across usbc) covers the streams:

3x 4K at 144hz, it’s right in the graphic in the article.

AI drawn boomer humor feels like a new low.

On most airlines you can book the adjacent seat - technically for people with musical instruments like cellos or for “passengers of size”, most will let you keep the seat. If the plane is full and they’re trying to get a friend on board they might try to take it away. Tell them you’re worried about covid.

On United, I believe you book the ticket under the name ExtraSeat Lastname.

If you’re traveling with a cello, Cello Lastname works on a lot of airlines.

More complicated for international flights, but domestic is fine.

100% the go to move. I do business class on the overnight and premium economy on the day flight on the way home (if it’s a lot cheaper, anyway).

If it’s <100/flying hour from economy that’s my threshold for “worth it”.
