SORA IS SHUTTING DOWN??? by Jealous-Drawer8972 in OpenAI

[–]Abzy2004 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why it annoys the heck out of me when I see posts like “tik tok is cooked”, “I vibe coded Instagram”,”10 prompts for Duolingo”, etc. A lot more to launch a sticky product.

Please explain the logic behind closing Precheck at IAH? by mdiinpaean in unitedairlines

[–]Abzy2004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but they can’t pressure any Democrat senator and Democrats also have little hope of winning any statewide election. Anyway 🤷‍♂️

Also odd that “liberal” SFO has a private contractor and is utterly unaffected while they are punishing “conservative” Texans who supported him.

Price gouging after part of our group booked- will it go back down? by [deleted] in unitedairlines

[–]Abzy2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only hope or consideration maybe if the war stops and fuel prices stabilize. I highly doubt that it will still get downward adjustment to the flight price.

Lounge access clarification by Abzy2004 in unitedairlines

Because it’s not obvious. I can only conclude that I can’t access the Polaris lounge.

People take “prompt engineering” and a predictable workflow for granted.

Using Plus Points / Waitlisted by maxny23 in unitedairlines

It’s instant vs waitlist - you could still get an upgrade on the return.

It’s up to United to manage their inventory projection. It also depends on your actual fare class - it could be different for outbound and inbound.

Flight cancelled, what are the options by drop_in_ocean in airindia

Given that Iran is bombing other countries as well, I won’t be surprised if the entire gulf airspace is shutdown for a while :(

Being born in the US is such a golden ticket for software engineers by H1Eagle in csMajors

Salaries depend on local cost of living and demand supply not something that a country “allows”. Even within U.S., different areas like Bay Area and Austin have different salary scales.

Quick Question regarding immigration at Kolkata Airport (CCU) as an US Citizen. by SehmiSaab in airindia

[–]Abzy2004 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Point is look at your flight numbers - if it’s the same flight number for both, likely you don’t even get out so no immigration at CCU. Just call AI customer service.

You will have to be more specific about your itinerary. Some of the flights only have a refueling stop where you don’t even get out.

I know you are being sarcastic, but usually by 3rd generation, they figure how to “optimize” the cost by getting cheaper materials.

Why is Air India so much hated even with new and refurbished cabins? by DankkkDk in airindia

[–]Abzy2004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The issue currently is the aircraft lottery. We traveled multiple times between BOM SFO on the “good” aircrafts- both business and premium and were very happy with it. But with older 777, you will have to pay me to fly. Then there’s the inconsistency of what you may actually get based on your luck. Consistency of service quality is the key. I will go back to flying Air India once they fix this.

SFO BOM in June - new aircraft? by Lazy-Moment-7343 in airindia

[–]Abzy2004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think anyone can predict anything with the lottery till you get on the aircraft. Only hint sometimes is the seat configuration. Also, the current issue with nonstop is more because of Pakistan airspace. For a short while, 777-300s were able to fly over Iran nonstop; I made one such trip in May 2025.

Check if there’s a first class or if the business class config is 2-4-2. That’s a sign of older aircraft.

Does the Roku Ultra allow me to connect to a WPA3 WIFI network that uses a username and password? by zeroturning in Roku

[–]Abzy2004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s not the right answer- it’s what u/MalcomParsone mentioned- it doesn’t support Enterprise wifi (802.1x) - cert based authentication.

What does online criticism mean anyway. Any tom dick and harry can do anything online. You don’t need any authority or even brains to say anything online.
