I have yet to encounter any toxicity, but I'm sure it's out there somewhere. For reference, I'm lvl 40.

You would be surprised how much you can communicate by just pinging stuff. I've had many missions with randos where a single word wasn't spoken, but we were all actively pinging high priority targets and putting markers on the map for our intentions.

It's also very easy to run an AI image generation tool locally using open source models.

The issue with those items is that they are not in the list of approved materials for Boeing's manuals. It might be normal to see these sort of practices in a line maintenance environment where it's hard to get the proper tooling; but the manufacturer should be abiding by it's own regulated publications. It's just more symptoms of their cost cutting and schedule rushing measures that are leading to their quality issues.

My company has been spending a lot of time and money doing warranty repairs on brand new airplanes that we received from Boeing over the past couple of years. It's very concerning when a customer has to fix things that should have never left the factory floor.

I just leave it on maximum. Too many spoofed local numbers. If it's someone important a d they're not in my contacts, they'll either make it through the screener or leave a message.

Considering that writer is pumping out multiple articles a day, they most likely are to some extent.

Just unplug them? Most appliances still draw some electricity (i.e. phantom load) when turned off.

Rock music starts blasting as your mech turns to face the bulkhead. The dropship's engines roar louder as it approaches the ground, and the wall in front of you flies upwards. Your mech's feet slam into the ground with a heavy thud.

Yes, but I like gaming without having to tweak things for every game. Proton is looking pretty good thanks to the Steam Deck. Hopefully it'll be a very solid option when it comes time for me to make a decision.

Unfortunately, a lot of my music software and hardware is incompatible with both Linux and W11

But in this case, they're not. Plus, the crew are going to be the ones determining if their VOR/DME makes sense or not.

First, they have to align on the ground. You initialize them with your current known position (usually by GPS or your known airport/gate spot). Then, you wait for them to synchronize with the Earth's rotation. If you're far north, like in Alaska, this could take half an hour. If you're close to the equator, it could take 5 minutes. Once they're ready, from that point, any movement you make, it will know where you are and where you've been.

If you spin up a gyro and begin moving around, it will maintain it's starting position. You can use this deflection to calculate direction. If you know how fast you are going and for how long, you'll have your position.

Mechanical gyros drift. It's the nature of a world with friction. Newer IRUs use laser gyros, so the only real drift they have comes from extremely minute rounding errors.
