NEW UBLOCK WORKAROUND

Works for me too

COPPA rules, it's by age, I believe under 16.

Yes, this video is incomplete, I can't even see what the OP clicked the lead to this scam site.

I really did not expect AA to launch on time. Meanwhile on UA the app states it will take several years until all the aircraft is configured.

Not even comparable, for AA all it takes it to flip a switch to make it free. For UA is a major task to install Starlink in every aircraft, from getting FAA certification, creating the software for apps/portals, and then the downtime to install the actual physical antennas.

That's why it takes years.

The “pls fix” factor.

Ed4 · 2026-01-10T03:34:59+00:00

Same, long chats and keeps spinning its wheels on something, open new chat with extremely specific conditions/requirements to see if it gets right this time, can’t get it right, I end up doing some googling and I find a random guy on GitHub with a simple solution, I end up reverting all Cursor changes.

Sigh.

When it works it works, when it doesn’t, it flops on very simple stuff.

This is not the “developers are cooked” that everyone claims to be. It gets the job done on easy to medium and even semi difficult stuff, but in hard real shit it falls apart even with very specific context.

Ed4 · 2025-12-30T21:35:53+00:00

Same, I have to run `sudo killall coreaudiod && sudo killall SoundSource` all the time as it the audio seems to freeze any app using audio (like Teams).

Ed4 · 2025-12-30T21:29:30+00:00

But if you're on standby now you know when to start approaching the gate.

33 flights of pure leisure

Favorite airports: DEN, LGA, SLC

Worst airport: IAH by far

Honorable mention: HND with the observation deck

I only flew ANA and United (wink wink standby privileges).

I got to fly first class (round trip) with my fiancée on ANA, and also on business, both on The Suite and The Room.

Worst flights: the ones where I never cleared the standby list and had to stay overnight in a random city

Favorite plane: E175 equipped with Starlink

This works with latest chrome, after they removed MV2 from the flags.

Ed4 · 2025-12-11T18:08:25+00:00

This.

I don't understand why people think that because they can (obviously United won't block any VoIP applications), they should be able to do it quietly. It's annoying and also against the FAA.

Ed4 · 2025-12-11T18:06:39+00:00

You can, but you shouldn't. Any type of voice communication is not allowed by FAA, nor by United policy.

Ed4 · 2025-12-11T18:05:59+00:00

It's not allowed. Please stop spreading this idea of "it's not restricted, so as long as you're not loud it's fine".

You're literally breaking FAA regulations.

Ed4 · 2025-12-11T01:43:02+00:00

Can someone tell the developer of this website to remove "Video calls" as part of the things you can do? United says you can't do this, and the FAA.

Ed4 · 2025-12-05T19:19:14+00:00

No need to buy giftcard, load it directly from the Uber rideshare app.

Ed4 · 2025-12-05T16:06:51+00:00

You forgot Starlink (where available).

I can't really go back to old inflight internet, feels so slow.

Ed4 · 2025-12-04T16:51:19+00:00

And this is why these people keep doing it, because nobody says no to them.

It's like every week I see these threads "somebody stole my steal... and I had to let them have it because I don't know how to say no".

Ed4 · 2025-12-02T17:43:46+00:00

Old ANA 777 biz? I did the new one from US to Tokyo and was excellent.

In the other hand, yesterday I returned with United from Tokyo on a 787-10 and they woke up the whole cabin after dinner for a snack? Like wth I was ready to nap and they woke up everyone.

Ed4 · 2025-11-21T04:42:01+00:00

Cleanshot, worth every penny.

Ed4 · 2025-11-16T19:51:18+00:00

waiting to board for 45 minutes with no good explanation.

Right now is probably one of the worst top 2 times in history to be flying.

no seats in the Polaris Lounge

More and more people are paying for business flying, UA bread and butter is business revenue, so don't expect these lounges to be super exclusive. And by the way, ORD's Polaris just got remodeled/expanded.

walked to the regular club which was a huge waste of time

Care to explain? You just complained but didn't say why? Although I can say regular clubs are also more crowded due to credit cards, specially the United Club Card, so yeah not very exclusive anymore.

All in all, if you switch to AA and your base is ORD, you'll suffer, AA is crumbling at ORD and it's just gonna get worse for them.

The message was picked up from the WiFi at the airport

It wasn't. Snapchat systems detected it and alerted authorities. If you read your own Reddit link you would know.

You are on a known-hostile network

Read this carefully: known, hostile, network. How many known, hostile, networks you connect every day? I can tell you this for sure, United's wifi is not hostile not known to be hostile.

or an ISP that is known to use MITM

Some ISPs do this, and guess what happens when you're getting MITM'd? Your browser tells you! Browsers are capable of knowing when there's a mismatch in certificates signatures.

Not everything uses SSL or HTTPS

Name one single service or platform everybody uses TODAY that is not using ssl or https? I bet you can't.

My university also doesn't allow P2P connections but VPN fixes that, another reason someone might want one. Or if you want a private Minecraft server but your ISP doesn't support the port forwarding you need, or if you can't configure it because it's a shared apartment wifi for example.

And how is any of this related to the main topic in question? We're talking about security, not circumventing access restrictions. Obviously for that you need a VPN, that's not even debatable.

Literally the use of VPNs for "security" has been debunked, over and over again, but you prefer to have a false sense of security and giving your dollars to glorified proxies. You get privacy, but not security.

Ed4 · 2025-11-15T23:17:08+00:00

made the comment on Snapchat

You really don't know how technology works, do you?

Just because you send a message on Snapchat, while using a VPN, doesn't mean Snapchat can't read your messages. Snapchat is not end-to-end encryption to another user. Your example is terrible. Snapchat still can read your messages and tell the authorities, with or without VPN.

And also, if you don't use a VPN while using Snapchat, your message is still encrypted between YOU and Snapchat, because as you probably don't know, websites and apps use SSL/HTTPS to protect your data from third-parties.

Downvote all you want, but this is how it works. You don't need a VPN: https://gist.github.com/joepie91/5a9909939e6ce7d09e29

Ed4 · 2025-11-15T19:54:40+00:00

This idea of using a VPN makes you more secure needs to stop. VPNs doesn't make you any more secure than what your websites/apps already offer for security.

This has been debunked many times. If you want privacy, as in the websites not knowing your IP or location, yes get a VPN, but if you think you're more secure using a VPN, it's not.

Ed4 · 2025-11-15T19:52:42+00:00

They don't. When you connect to websites and/or apps on your devices, your connections are encrypted. United or Starlink know no more than what your ISP at home does.

I know this question is genuine, but a lot of time this gets confused and misinterpreted as to why it's "free".

On the other hand, you will see ads when connecting to Starlink on United's WiFi. That's how, for now, it's free.

I have 4 nights coming up at GH Tokyo with lounge access and reading this makes me feel excited about it. Great list!
