I'd love to be able to click on the progress bar to jump ahead or back in the flight path. Perhaps the display on the back of the seats could show the actual flight path imposed on a map, and we could click anywhere on that flight path to move the plane there.

When selecting departing and arrival airports at the beginning, it would be nice to be able to click on the map to select the airport, useful if you don't know the airport code or the name.

Allowing unmoderated real-time chat with all visitors is certainly a decision.

The low resolution didn't bother me too much, but the controls made this completely unplayable for me.

Unfortunately some of the elements aren't compatible with DarkReader.

Obligatory reminder that Brave has been caught doing nefarious things such as 1) injecting cryptocurrency affiliate links into your pages; 2) installing paid VPN software without consent; 3) injecting their own ads into pages; 4) scraping and reselling data; 5) their website taunts browsers that use Mozilla user-agents; 6) and more. With that sort of immoral development team, I wouldn't trust their browser or products.

I wish these courses would also provide the answer sheets or tell you where to find them. How am I supposed to check my work and verify my answers otherwise?

> Counting your fingers; in dreams, you may not have 5 per finger

That sounds horrifying. 5 fingers per finger. Do those other 5 fingers also have five fingers per finger, like a finger fractal gone out of control?

Said link immediately redirects you back to Wordpress.

I use a certain extension. An update turned the extension into payware, locking 90% of the features behind a paywall. So I refuse to update it and instead continue to use the revision that still has all the original features. I would be absolutely incensed and outraged if my browser insisted on forcing me to update this extension!

Surely there are better ways for a developer to make money off of an existing extension without suddenly locking previously available functions behind a paywall. Perhaps instead paywall NEW features? Or ask for donations?

Windows Terminal is not unique to Windows 11. You can install it on Windows 10.

As for containers, you can install Docker or Podman or some other container infrastructure. The Windows versions of them have hooks into the Windows OS too.

TLS 1.3 can be enabled in Windows 10 by toggling a registry key.

Running an end-of-service OS such as Windows 7 means it's very likely that there are plenty of unpatchable zero-days for it. Being forced to upgrade probably made you safer and reduced your attack surface.

I completely agree with you about Windows 11's unusability. However, Windows 10 will be end-of-service in a year and that really sucks. I have been clinging to Windows 10 and I do not look forward to being forced to upgrade. But it's better than having a system that no longer has security updates and has tons of nation states looking for/already hoarding zero-days.
