This article is based on a report from the Independent https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/china-hypersonic-flights-speed-concorde-b2051192.html nowhere does it say they have completed a test flight.

The brand Space Transportation, also known as the company Beijing Lingkong Tianxing Technology, has released an animated video which shows how its proposed “space flights” might look

Samsung's statement said that it wasn't their fault and that external factors were solely responsible for this happening. What external factors would cause this?

Microsoft fired its entire QA team 10 years ago, and shifted the responsibility for testing onto developers. They also got rid of their dedicated hardware lab where software would be tested on many different hardware combinations.

That...makes SO much sense and explains a lot! Thanks for mentioning it.

Once again I find myself thinking, "Dammit, Google!"

Thank you very much for the text summary, I really appreciate it :)

I found this page that says they removed that feature on mobile for some reason (ugh,) but if you scroll down there's a possible workaround that may work for your purposes. You could swap out the Firefox shortcut on their home screen with an 'open Google(.)com in Firefox' shortcut.

Poor guy. My heart breaks for him. I hope people are understanding, compassionate, empathetic, and aren't hateful and harrassing towards him about it, but, realistically... they likely will be hateful and harrass the poor dude, because some people are just sucky, entitled, and rude little jackasses (and I hate it so much and I don't understand why people behave this way!) I hope he can find a way to handle it all okay. :(

I vote cricket bat, then throw a bucket of gravy on them as they lay on the ground. Then spit on them. Then kick them... A lot!

Yes! This blog post is fantastic. I read your article through this archive link (since my phone is being finicky with the direct site) and loved it and I'm glad you wrote it! You totally nailed it on every point and voiced a lot of things I've noticed and concerns I've had.
On the topic of non-anonymous reports: I've definitely already found myself hesitating or declining to make reports I feel should be made purely because they're not anonymous. Sometimes because the people I want to report are admins. I've already had weird situations of people following me around to other posts because they disagree with me and I don't want to add to that type of thing. Although I can understand that there are some potential upsides to being able to tell who is making reports, like to prevent misuse or spam... I dunno.

Thanks a lot for sharing it with us here! and thank you for the warning at the top about mentioning CSAM - and for calling it CSAM and not the other, worse, seemingly more prevelent term. I appreciate it and I appreciate you! :)

Holy shit! This is how I just found out that bastard finally died! WOOHOO! 🎉

I remember seeing this meme many times over the years with the caption of "Is Kissinger even in this thing!?" I guess he was! He still lived entirely too long, though.

I don't know what the rules are on whether or not we can say things like "I hope he fucking suffered!" or similar, sooooo, I guess I won't say anything like that.

You can say whatever you want, just like always. But sex workers and their allies don't have to like or support you using demeaning terms to refer to them that they don't like.

If you want to be a decent, considerate person, just refer to them as sex workers (instead of hookers, or prostitutes, etc. Some don't like the term escort, either.) It's not hard.

If I Google "table dancing" (in a fresh new browser I just installed on incognito mode with a VPN and everything + I never watch porn or search this stuff or anything, so it's not just customizing it to be sexual for me - I encourage you to try this yourself) the first result in the Wikipedia article about it, which reads:

A table dance, or bartop dance, is a dance performed at (or on) a table or bar, as opposed to on a stage. It may be an erotic dance performed by a sex worker or it may be done as a leisure activity.

As you keep scrolling down, the next thing it shows is images of erotic dancers table dancing, the next thing is a list of nearby strip clubs, the next result is the dictionary.com entry for table dancing which reads:

a form of entertainment in which naked or scantily dressed women dance erotically at the tables of individual members of the audience, who must remain seated

The next result is videos of erotic dancers table dancing. And so on, and so on.

So, yeah, there's definitely, without a doubt, a strong sexual/erotic connotation/connection to the term and the joke they made.
