  Very true, your example is airtight. Where mine gets a bit more in the weeds, is the air conditioners and filters in the cabin have an express purpose of manipulating the temperature and climate, that is their only purpose. Otherwise the air coming into the cabin would be so hot from being compressed in the engines everyone would die and all the machines onboard would overheat.

  It was a bit more technical, complicated, (air inside a plane in the atmosphere is still air from the atmosphere being manipulated!) and on the edge though, and not as easily conveyed as umbrellas.

  So perhaps, they should just ban the air conditioners on jets to get it technically correct?

  Kudos for yours though, it was to the point.

  Also, every commercial passenger flight is also a felon. They are an apparatus released into the atmosphere, and affect weather/climate/intensity of sunlight by causing global dimming. Furthermore, they take the atmosphere in through their engines, and run it through a bunch of air conditioners to cool and filter the air for the cabin, expressly for the purpose of affecting the temperature and climate inside the aircraft. Checkmate.

  These “verify you are human” things should be made illegal at this point. They were training OCR scanners, then self-driving cars, now they’re designing them to be anti-AI and we’ve gone full circle where captchas are on the defense.

  They were always abusive and exploiting free labor, and more so now. If you dumb companies can’t figure out how to filter fraudomation/AI/whatever, just go out of business.

  Tech industry, stop using us.

  Google is on an enshittification speed-run. Close-source Android, combine with ChromeOS. Advertise the crap out of YouTube, draconian login requirements. Wherever their income is coming from now, it isn’t from making products users want. Probably the military “AI” overseas contracts.

  I’ve been de-Googling the last few years casually as functional replacements came along and I’m down to threads now, but the icing on the cake was their injecting an ad into a funeral ceremony stream from a church on YouTube. Sure, software-side, we all know why it happened, but just. No.

  They also killed off part of the line in 2020: www.belkin.com/support-article/?articleNum=316642

  They’re experts at creating paperweights.

  It still is, it’s a standard for imaging devices. Honestly aside from it being annoying, it was and is a decent attempt at a standard for scanners coming from an era of driver standards as a pipe dream. Try that with printers, ever. And also a nightmare.
