It it doesn’t work that way. Casting instructs the Apple TV (or Xbox for that matter) to directly play the stream, not to route it via the casting device.
737 pilots are actually trained for this circumstance and even the flight simulators simulate the jackscrew load on the trim wheels. They are taught to duck dive to release pressure to adjust elevator trim. The problem with the Ethiopian flight, was not enough height.... but once they had re-enabled the electric trim system, had they kept manually trimming up (then cutout the trim system again), they likely would have saved themselves.
I thing the smoking gun, is the MCAS initially only had 1degreeish of trim authority, and the risk assessment that was done on that, but then it was later changed to 7ish degrees which was enough to overcome pilots elevator control but without doing the risk assessment again

Gosh, the hate here for VB6 was a force, but I too loved the language. I wrote a commercial scientific instrument interface in VB6 with database driven dynamic controls, real time graphing and instrument control. I had to do all the engineering, Schematic, PCB, mechanical, embedded firmware, and PC app. No way I could have developed that as one man developer 20 years ago without VB6. (Maybe Delphi, but I didn’t have that dev stack)
Israel is supported by Christians because of the Abrahamic covenant that they are Gods chosen people.

What do USA/.'s think of socialised medicine? Every other developed western country has a public health care system that will fix most issues for free, (chronic issues with a wait), and overlay that with a private system secondary to the public system.
You pay twice as much as everyone else for health care. People are regularly bankrupted. You still have major out of pocket expenses. So do you think the USA needs tax funded public primary health care? And if so, whats is preventing the change?
Paying everyone the same amount for the same job reeks of communism. One person could be a better "Level 4 Software Engineer" than another. I've seen this time and again.
Yep. Equality of outcome (women 50%) is stupid, because why draw the line there; what about black women, what about transgender black women what about mexicans, you can slice and dice it forever. Why IT, what about concreters or nursing? The Scandinavians have already shown, that when you try your hardest to have equality of the sexes, the LESS women do STEM, not because they don't have the brains, but because they would rather have social jobs rather than 'things' jobs.
Exactly. If you told any engineer, the fold is damaged in extreme cold, then the first response would be put a temperature sensor in it and heat it. Not worthy of a patent.
I look at my server raid array using 512G SSDs, and think wow, all those drives could now sit on a stick of gum with the same performance.... well maybe not write endurance... but What time we live in!
I design and have engineers and programmers develop for me and mass manufacturing reliable systems is really hard. The 80:20 rule means there will always be an issue you don't pick up in pilot runs. The other car manufacturers have had decades refining designs and production systems. I'm actually surprised Tesla have had few problems as they have had. but.. providing they survive, they will learn just like all the other car companies have, and fix their quality issues... it's a balancing act between capital expenditure (in tooling, engineering, prototyping, testing) and profitability.

Australia has smoking rates half in the last 15 years from around 30% to 15% - We banned tobacco advertising in the 80's - Put them behind counters out of sight in the 90's - Instigated plain packaging and banned them from clubs & pubs, office buildings, restaurants in the 00's - Highest tax in the world making cigs. about $1/stick, so 20/day will set you back $7k/yr - Poor people are twice as likely to smoke as rich. - Country people smoke twice as much as city people.
Of our 70 staff, none of our engineers or management smoke (30 staff): about 5 production staff smoke. I saw most of them try vaping last year, but they all went back to cigarettes because... well I think laziness...
The far left love to divide people into classes of victims, except for white men, who make up oppressing patriarchy. That’s why the ad was so terrible. I didn’t see it aimed at individuals, but at all white men. Unfortunately, these lefty nut jobs occupy the entire humanities departments, which spills into the education departments. The effect of this is having primary school children, who used to at least get some Sunday school, now being told they are gender fluid snowflakes that to feel out their sexuality. I would call it child abuse. Gillette are just another corporate jumping on the latest man bashing lefty trend to try to appeal to millineals brain washed by Marxist’s teachers and professors.
Everyone I know has dropped using skype and gone to whats app or zoom. Microsoft may be great at locking people stockholm style into legacy products like office but they are making very little headway into mobile, web, and social media. Karma!
It’s 20 years worth of word docs, templates and spreadsheets. It’s cheaper to pay the M$ tax than deal with all the historic documents. Does thunderbird do meeting scheduling and room booking.?
No it doesn't. I try every few years with my staff, in the vain hope that our documents will render, and within hours they are at my desk whining about screwed up formatting. The DOJ should have forced microsoft to document their office formats completely: or provide the source code.
In Australia, office 365 without exchange server costs $144/yr. We get 10 years from an office licence, because let’s face it, nothing has really changed in a long time. So that’s $1400 vs $280 to buy an outright retail licence, so 500% more expensive.
We don’t use their file storage, because we don’t trust the cloud and it fragments our data backup strategy.
I would dearly love to move our 50 users to Libre, but Libre doesn’t have outlook, and still screws up document formatting. No wonder it’s called the Microsoft Tax.

I would love to roll Libre out to our company, but it still can’t open up 10 year old word or excel docs without screwing up the formatting.
