Really? Electronic ignition and fuel injection alone are advantageous enough, not to mention the ability of at least one Rotax engine to use true automotive gas (gasohol).
As the article points out, the writing was on the wall for leaded fuel decades ago. The GA industry killed itself by dragging ass on eliminating the need for it, abetted by the burdensome FAA certification process for any aviation advancements.
It may be too late to save GA. BasicMed was a big help, and the increased pace of STC approval has been a boon. But with the FAA derelict in its duty to protect airports (see the sellout of Santa Monica as an example) and corrupt local governments eager to destroy our public airports and sell their land to developers... the future looks grim indeed. Just as electric training aircraft, unleaded fuel, and less-polluting and more-efficient engines render the anti-aviation cabal's excuses moot.
Maybe I'm missing something about this one, then. How is detecting "me" Mastodon links on Web pages similar to discovering people who are online near you?
Or as that not what Nintendo's did? Anyway, thanks for any insight.
Spyware or malware or adware. The beyond-obnoxious badgering to log in, log in, LOG IN!!! with your "Microsoft account" to do ANYTHING renders the OS totally unacceptable in my house... and I regret replacing my parents' computers with new Windows machines plagued with that offensive behavior, along with crippling UI defects (some MS apps ignore the system-wide font-size setting, for example) and missing fundamental applications (like a competent E-mail program).
I was a software developer of large Windows-based systems for over a decade, before going to work for Apple. I regarded Windows as a sharp knife, and Mac OS as a child's safety scissors. Today, Windows is a depressing, hopeless mess and Mac OS is what I rely on daily to get stuff done. I hope rumors of Apple introducing touchscreen Macs are wrong. Doing so would require degrading the OS UI for a stupid, failed idea... leaving no good mainstream desktop OS.
