It will be as long as you needed.

There has never been a proven case of juice jacking, anywhere, ever.

Bean there, done that.

No, I’m not jelly. Or green, I’ve been here a year!

Eh. Bean there, done that.

So, first, you can’t be much more confident than an honest mistake. I didn’t even know I was in the wrong group.

Second, they weren’t reading my phone. You turn your phone face down to scan the QR code. They literally can’t read it like that. The system tells them where you are supposed to be, including boarding group. If they’re not trying to put you where you’re supposed to be, they’re probably tired of dealing with people like you.

Lastly, people fucking up the system by cutting in line are a part of why it takes so long to board. If you want to board earlier, man up and pay for a premium ticket.

Regarding your first tip, I’m not sure where you’re flying, but I fly around the US for work, and they absolutely will send you to the back of the line if you try to board in the wrong spot. Happened to me once recently by accident, got two flights and their boarding groups mixed up. They weren’t rude about it or anything, but they were not going to let me on before my group.

I can’t quite get myself to subject them to the amount of sweat generated during mowing the lawn. I’ve got some cheap nasty DeWalt cans for that. No ANC, but they muffle the sound outside pretty good, and as a bonus still have Bluetooth. Lawn mowing is prime podcast time.

Counterpoint, a good horseshoe neck pillow. I’ve got great, thick one made out of a real dense memory foam. Acts more like a slightly mold-able neck brace, keeps me from being that guy leaning on the passenger next to me. I’ve used it on 6+ hour flights and never had any pain or comfort issues.

I swear by my WH-1000XM4’s. I don’t even usually play anything, just turn the noise-cancellation on. Makes flying so much more chill.

Conde Nast doesn’t have an interest in driving away their readers, and AI bullshit absolutely will drive them away. They know this. Ken Fisher is the editorial lead for AI at Conde Nast (not just Ars), and said as much in the comment section.

AI is absolutely fucking things up on a grand scale in all sorts of industries, but as of right now, Ars is relatively safe and I don’t think we need to inflate the scale of the danger.

I’m not so sure Ars has a vested interest in OpenAI. I actually read through 10 pages of comments. Ken Fisher was pretty active in them, and noted several times that Ars doesn’t see any of the money from this deal.

Ah that sucks. Have you tried rotating the USB-C cable? I’ve got something like that, but if I flip one end of the USB-C cable it works.

I got around this by keeping several USB-C to USB-C cables around, and buying female USB-C to male whatever adapters. Doesn’t cover everything, but enough that I got rid of a small crate full of cables and only have to keep a half-dozen or so other cables.

Could it still be the same though? What if there’s an image post that has the same issue in the image? When Boost tries to load that post, wouldn’t it crash too?

Huh. I wonder if this is related.

Not again…

Well, looks like I have that enabled, so that’s good I suppose.

Boost user checking in, also currently on .world but I’ve been on several and… it’s fine. No problems.

I used to use Sync, but the sporadic updates lead to rapidly piling bugs.

I have T-Mobile and don’t have this toggle, so it’s not all accounts.

Edit: Well, ain’t that some shit. I have it in the app, but not online.
