In Nevada, it wouldn’t surprise me. The US is indeed filled with assholes.¹ Most of the world though, has good Samaritan laws and you won’t face criminal charges if you were actively trying to save a life outside of extremely gross negligence. Many places of the world also have strong first aid certification programs that further protect those certified as long as they followed the standard protocol.

¹: Disregard that comment, Nevada does have Good Samaritan laws, that person’s friend is just a piece of shit.

If they are asking it is explicitly because it’s beyond basic first aid and they’re scared. The plane is landing either way, if they are already asking for a doctor, then the decision was already made by the pilots. Afterwards it’s a matter of providing proper care until delivered to a emergency services at the airport. All doctors I know will absolutely respond to such a call on a plane, but medical assistance doesn’t always include touching or doing something to the patient. Often, it’s just looking at them or talking to them (if they’re conscious) and advising the flight crew on what the proper care should be like. Ultimately, doctors are useless without proper infrastructure and resources. A surgeon without a hospital is as helpless as the patient and no first aid carries a pharmacy.

Even if there are no security risks to mitigate, updates can bring bug fixes and, god forbid, new features once in a while.

My company discontinued access to notepad++. Fortunately, that same week they added vs code. If stripped to the bare minimum it’s a serviceably fast text editor. (FOSS has to be approved by IT)

Weird, Notepad is not installed in my computer. Hmm.

First time on Lemmy?

Yet yours is exactly the kind of stupid rethoric politicians use to convince constituents of defunding emergency and security services. Congratulations on being part of the problem.

Exactly, it’s not there for the unforseen improbable plane crash. It’s there for the moments people statistically actually die a preventable death, as in fucking up and misbehaving during evacuations, stampeding others to death or dying of asphyxia because they were too stupid to listen to the flight crew.

Doesn’t matter, the cell towers will still be barraged with hundreds of high intensity requests for several seconds. It’s akin to a very underpowered and inefficient radio jammer.

Survivorship bias. “We have been doing this safety thing forever, but nothing bad ever happens. Let’s stop doing the safety thing!“

See also, “why pay for firefighters if there’s so few fire incidents in our city?”, and also “I’ve never been in a car crash, no need to use a seat belt.”

Every regulation is written in blood.

It’s not. Hence the conspiracy thing. The pain with cellphones in planes is that they can see the tower, but the tower can’t see them. So they punch the transmission power to 100%. Worse still, they can see not one but probably several dozen towers at the same time, trying to reach them all in hopes one of them can hear them.

Now multiply that by 80 to 200 phones on a plane. This will not interfere with electronic guidance systems or computers in the plane, but will also never actually last for long enough on a cell to establish a connection, but all the requests will busy the tower. So cell towers get briefly radio jammed as the plane flies over them.

Any security system based on expecting good behavior from people is sure to fail. If NPM has no estructural features to enforce safe behaviors, it is vulnerable by default. As no person using it will apply safe practices unless forced to. Specially if the default, easiest, less friction behavior, is inherently unsafe.

I catch your drift. I always thought that wizarding duels and the death curse itself could’ve been far more interesting and exciting if, once successfully cast on someone, the curse will go on to kill the person…eventually. Like, you cast the spell, green flash or whatever, doesn’t matter. Then, soon afterwards but not immediately, something atrocious or unlucky would happen, health wise or not, that would kill the person. Which means the victim knows they were cursed, but they can still fight back, making it not a duel ending spell, but a mutually assured annihilation kind of nuclear option. So, wizards would have to strategically choose if and when to use it.

The toll on the body and mind of the curse user should have also been way steeper. Like, each curse should’ve made the user lose a finger, rot the skin, drive them to insanity, sink them into a manic or depressive crisis, lose eyes, go bald, etc. Reflecting the corresponding corruption of the soul. So that using the curse would have to be carefully considered by everyone, even the antagonists. Voldemort used the curse thousands of times and all he had to give in return was melatonin, keratine and cartilage.

There’s a second person perspective FPS where the game is a split screen of all the POVs of every enemy in the level. You still control your character and the shooting is doom style. So, just shooting in the correct direction of the enemy is enough. But essentially, you only see yourself when the enemy NPCs can see you. The views disappear and the split screen shifts as you kill enemies.

Because the video it not available. It’s a report on the upload of the video to the Steam store database. Probably prep work for the launch announcement day.

Shame I won’t be able to buy it for months after launch. But definitely will get it as soon as able.

Prison phone!

Isn’t that the thing NVIDIA was found to be lying about?

Youre right, its a game people are ‘told’ to buy, rather than a recommendation. The first thing they see when they start up their console will be an ad for it.

Always remember that, in the eyes of the law, the real crime is being poor.
