Planes that use the Panasonic system allow access to the full *.paypal.com domain to allow the paywall to work. If there is a way to somehow proxy all your traffic though something under paypal.com you could get free wifi on certain flight. Or you can pass the time away reading all the paypal API documentation.
A solid state battery has no liquid components. So that should mean more longevity, safety, weight reductions, capacity per pound, and more forgiving thermal properties.
It cannot be understated what an overall improvement it would represent if the technology pans out.
The promise is higher capacity because of more durability. There are higher-powered materials which we currently can't use because batteries with existing tech that use them degrade far too quickly.
Also better performance, since solid state batteries are lighter. More flexible car layouts and longer range since they're more compact. Faster charging due to reduced resistance. More stable in extreme cold or hot temperatures. It truly will revolutionize EVs if they can mass produce these.
As gets pointed out, that justification is post hoc; the argument wasn't made when the app was introduced, only after the ban. It's also leaning hard on "can be" and just letting the reader infer what "malicious" means. Clearly the intent is that protestors can show up to disrupt enforcement actions. Is that what you mean? If so, you should say so.
But it's also just plain overbroad: the same logic applies to Waze flagging of speed traps, which are also "crowd sourced law enforcement location data".
Basically this is bunk. The app got banned because the government doesn't want its enforcement actions disrupted by protestors, and whined[1] to Apple to coerce them into a ban.
[1] Plausibly threatened. It's not alleged here but they did it to Disney and Paramount already.
> People use Waze to avoid speed traps. Not protest them.
Exactly! So it is about protest then? You don't want people to show up and display their displeasure at the execution of a particular policy? Y'know, peaceably assembling and petitioning for redress of grievances and all? You don't maybe see a first amendment argument here?
Upthread commenter dropped "malicious" to imply something presumably worse, like threats to law enforcement officers that haven't been made. But if it's just about protest then we have a prior restraint on speech. And that's worse.
That same justification can be applied to block web browsers, any social media platform, and any navigation app that allows user alert inputs.
The entire thing reeks of the same Biden-era pressures on companies that had pandemic misinformation that Republicans were so vehemently opposed to. Somehow harming law enforcement is a better justification than harming random citizens.
Particularly when considering that each of their cars does have a human backup driver who should be taking over to avoid crashes. How much worse would the cars be unsupervised?
Airbus's suppliers already have a hard time keeping up with airbus right now.
Why would they add a concurrent that depends on the exact same supply chain, when they have taken delivery engagements for the next decade.
Unless the price is truly astronomical ,but then it's not worth it for Boeing anyway.
And that's before touching reputational damage that come from building your concurrent's plane because you couldn't design your own.
Not sure what post you have in mind, but Kenji Alt-Lopez's video[1] on the topic is excellent. If I remember right, it's based on work he did with a well-known food publication (or show or something)...
Yeah I think ADB based solutions will be the way to bypass Google's Play store app developer registration and app ID registration crap that will kill F-Droid. Even now I grab a bunch of APKs and then have a script that wirelessly updates my devices... F-Droid ADB mode!
