That doesn't explain why they took the SR-71A off display. What would they need the actual plane for? They must have enough engineering diagrams to build up computer models for whatever new plane they would design.

Why call up the old engineers?

My guess this started as a misunderstanding and nobody wants to admit it.

Like Four Seasons Total Landscaping or Tools For Humanity and Bruno Mars.

Is this another Four Seasons Total Landscaping or when Tools For Humanity announced a partnership with Bruno Mars instead of Thirty Seconds to Mars?

Maybe someone in power made a comment like "We need an awesome project like that futuristic black airplane from the 1960s" and through multiple layers of incompetency an effort to restore the SR-71A that had been on display in a museum for 26 years started.

And now its too far along for anyone to say it was a stupid misunderstanding.

I have children and I’ve never heard any arguments for DLS that make any sense.

Most of the time people conflate longer summer days with DLS.

The situation with dark mornings is winter not standard time.

My children are already waking to school in daylight this time of year prior to the switch to DLS.

As others have said. I would rather permanent standard time but I’ll take permanent DLS. Moving the clocks twice a year is insanity.

I call my personal methodology PDD, Pain Driven Development.

Fix the thing that is causing the most pain. Or is likely to cause pain in the near future.

I also was bit disappointed when it wasn't smart wheels. Then I got impressed to see it handle the drops and stairs.

My younger kids hadn’t seen the Matrix and I thought the 25th anniversary release in the theater would be perfect.

Leading up to it I tried to create the mystery for them that I remembered 25 years ago.

All of the mystery was destroyed with the featurette.

I was so annoyed and disappointed. But they enjoyed the movie so that was good at least.

I would be fine with the Pro models getting larger screens if they would shrink the standard phone. I'm still trying to survive with my 12 mini for as long as possible until the battery dies. I tried a standard iPhone 15 for two weeks last year and I wasn't happy with the larger size and returned it.

The mini was a great form factor, fits in more pockets comfortably and the whole screen is within reach of my thumb when using the phone one-handed.

Excellent article. Very well presented with just the right level of detail and drama.

I had no intention of learning about ADB or crazy Apple USB power-on hacks but here I am having had a great time while doing just that.

10/10 would recommend and now this blog is on my reading list.

I agree with you but handing the power to the Executive Branch doesn't solve the problem.

The people need to demand more from their elected officials but the two parties have done an outstanding job getting us to fight with each other so we forget how the corporations are controlling everything.

I want to respond with a Beowulf cluster joke.

Then I remembered this isn’t slashdot and it isn’t 2001.

Now I’m reminded of how old I’ve gotten.
