  • United Airlines passengers to see targeted ads on seat-back screens

  • Cool story.

    I still fail to see how this makes it okay for techs to be told to tear apart an engine they weren't experienced with.

    You can try to keep talking around how that's actually no big deal and I just don't get it. Totally your right. Just be aware that from my perspective you're trying to argue that it's acceptable to work on components without training that could cause a plane crash with people on board if it fails, and I just don't see how you can make that scenario okay, like, at all.

  • Who's blaming the maintenance personnel? I'm expecting the airlines to actually have their maintenance crews trained for the planes they fly.

    I don't think this is a particularly unrealistic expectation.

    Nor do I think the expectation that crews without enough training on a plane to tear its engine apart and put it back together not be tasked with something that will have them tearing the engine apart.

    I don't need to understand how the maintenance works to expect it be done correctly for something that's going to be moving my ass at hundreds of miles per hour, thousands of feet in the air.

    I don't blame the maintenance personnel for not giving themselves adequate training on the machines they'll be servicing; that's on the airlines to ensure they get that before telling them to work on those planes. I don't blame the maintenance personnel for being ordered to then work on planes they don't have training on.

    And if "that's just how the industry is", that doesn't make it any better.

    Either way, flying with an airline that runs basically one model and can ensure every maintenance person knows that plane and every pilot knows that plane seems a good way to avoid the issue, so I'll stick with what I've got for now, thanks.

  • I have no idea what it is you're trying to say here or how it relates to an airline running planes without having maintenance crews that can actually do the work on them... And that they worked on it anyway without apparently having the required training for it...

  • I did the same a couple months ago, though when I built that system I put in two drives for the dual boot... And never got around to installing Windows. I think I'll use the second drive for something else, don't know what yet.

  • What did it for me was a long delay that got me landed at my destination after car rental was closed

    Not so much the delay itself; that upset me, but I get that things happen

    It was the reason for the delay: a simple maintenance thing with the plane had them taking the engine further and further apart while we watched from the terminal, ultimately deciding they weren't getting this thing back up and running again anytime soon and having to get us another plane (which we had to wait for to fly to us)

    Why couldn't they figure it out? Because they didn't have anyone who knew how to work on that plane model available

    There are so many ways that pisses me off and makes me never want to trust them again

    Also, every flight I had with them, including the return trip that I'd already booked from that trip, was miserable

    Say what you will about Southwest but they know their damned planes inside and out and overall run their fleet efficiently and consistently. It's like riding a bus that flies

    跳过

  • Here's the thing: companies have learned they can add ads to make additional money without passing any of that on to their customers.

    If you think you're going to get a better rate for having ads, you're fooling yourself. They'll always charge as much as they can get people to pay and that amount isn't affected by ads most of the time.

  • Windows updating just before thesis defense

    跳过

  • I've frequently seen Windows ignore that setting and force the restart while the system is actively being used

    The mega corp neither needs or deserves your defense. They've fucked up the update system with Windows 10 and it's not gotten any better since then.

  • Windows updating just before thesis defense

    跳过

  • No, they're terrible. Windows can and does know when a system is least in use and is supposed to handle this during those periods. Updates are important but this is an excessive and unnecessary way to fix the issue of people not performing their own updates.

  • That looks like a conference room PC, I would doubt OP even has any control over that and possibly didn't even have access to the room until right before

    It isn't their computer.

    It's likely on a campus domain managed by campus IT and should be configured with a sane update policy that automatically does this overnight when the systems aren't being used.

  • I have no interest in giving them the benefit of any doubt, they not only haven't earned it but actively squandered and destroyed the trust they had earned in the past.

    They'll actually have to do something to make themselves trustworthy again, and even if they do, there will always be the threat of them reverting to what they are now or worse looming over every good thing they do.

    They not only became what they set out to oppose, they've become so much worse.

  • I mean, sure, if that's what someone is saying, but I didn't see anyone suggest that here.

    Companies violating regulations can be made to follow them without tearing down the company or product, and I'm absolutely not convinced LLMs have to violate the GDPR to exist.
