Maven , to World News in British passenger dies after severe turbulence on London-Singapore flight
@Maven@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Reading the article, it looks like there was barely any warning, because it was the type of turbulance that is extremely difficult to detect. Additionally, it seems the dead man had his seat belt on; he died of, as far as they can tell, a fear heart attack, as the plane essentially fell off a midair cliff, dropping 1800 meters (6000 feet) in three minutes. That's over 10 meters (30 feet) a second).

He got got because the user used an Apple ID that was linekd to their real identity, which is one of the things Proton is obligated to provide in cases like this.

Proton says all the time, they are obligated to comply with the letter of the law, so do not store anything identifiable anywhere they're legally required to provide it. They tell you exactly what not to do, to avoid this precise case. They do not want to provide anything they don't have to, but they also do not want their company shut down.

No, I understood that, I did read the article. I'm lambasting the fact that in an article about "brain chip gone wrong", burying the "but human seems to be unharmed" at the end of an article is indicative of a set of priorities wildly different from my own.

Maven , to Technology in Elon Musk’s Neuralink reports trouble with first human brain chip
@Maven@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

The point is that this is the opening paragraph about something going wrong in human brain surgery, and the first thing they tell us is "don't worry, the data's fine", rather than anything about the human. Indeed, you have to read to the last paragraph to find:

Arbaugh's safety does not appear to be negatively impacted.

Maven , to Technology in Nintendo Switch Is Removing Integration for X, Formerly Twitter

"Better" is such a strong word. It's a kludge where you have to connect your phone and switch to a virtual wifi and then you can send up to ten photos at a snail's pace. I kept using twitter because it's such an annoying process.
