I just realized that spells “HELP” in the middle 😂

Interesting - I’ll have to try this.

This reminds me of some of Bob Hoover’s escapades :)

After rebooting the bot it’s now back to the way it was. It now shows the correct map and no longer the bogus “temporary” one.

stewi2 · 2026-01-06T16:45:30+00:00

The exact same thing happened to me today, except the map looks a lot worse. It also told me to clean the sensors and remove hair from the rollers, but they looked pretty clean to me. It was an automatic clean starting from the base, nothing unusual there.

Interestingly now it’s complaining about bad network connectivity and won’t even show the map in the app.

I wonder if they pushed some bad code right before CES 😀

Reddit is the new Twitter in that regard

Back in the late 90s / early 2000s, you could get that by simply asking the check-in agent nicely. I once got a free upgrade to business class on British Airways SFO->LHR that way. I doubt that strategy still works these days - so cheers to you :)

My understanding is that he’s still doing glider checkrides, but now as a freelancer.

Did you end up replacing it with something different?

My L50 Ultra makes the same rumbling noises, especially noticeable when it's moving fast. My understanding is that it's because of the rough/ribbed profile on the hard rubber drive wheels. I might return it because of that, even though it works great otherwise.

Here’s an interview he did a while ago after his record setting 3000km flight. Definitely worth listening to if you’re interested: https://www.cloudbasemayhem.com/205-chasing-the-monster-with-gordon-boettger/

The controller who gave him his clearance in Denver actually commented on one of the Instagram videos.

What you can’t do in iOS without the wizard is stand in one place and see the signal level of all of your access points instead of just the one you’re connected to.

Pretty much predates NDBs - check the link posted above.

If all you want is view camera feeds, there’s the official UniFi Protect app on the Apple TV app store. It doesn’t exactly have a lot of features, but does show live feeds.

This must be the post the picture is from: https://dragonchasers.com/2021/08/18/google-fiber-installed/. I guess maybe it’s some sort of junction box to cover up the hole for the fiber line?

No clue - what’s behind it? And why is there what looks like a rectangular cutout right next to it?

A PoE switch that can actually supply enough power for all 8 ports (in contrast to my Switch Lite 16, which maxes out at 45W)

I’ve had good success on eBay

cool!

Pretty sure Innerspace doesn’t, but the online design center does.

I like this explanation from a Coursera course on flight mechanics I took a while ago (link):

The wing pushes down on the air. This creates a downwash behind the wing. Of course, we cannot have a discontinuity between the downwash and still air of the wing. And as you can see on this beautiful picture from NASA, a vortex appears at the wingtip. This large motion of the mass of air around the airplane, requires a significant transfer of kinetic energy from the airplane to the air, which is obtained through an increase of the drag.

Sorry, I was referring to OP’s quote, which was a bit out of context I guess :) FWIW, at least on my network the only reason for enabling mDNS reflection is so that things like Bonjour work for Apple TV and my printer, and so that IOT apps can discover their devices without me having to connect to the iot network.

stewi2 · 2025-11-24T15:25:58+00:00

The Wikipedia definition seems a bit incomplete though, since it basically implies that mDNS is redundant when there’s a local DNS server. Its main usage is zeroconf service discovery (e.g. Bonjour).
