hrrsnon I shaved 187MB off United Airlines' 439MB iOS app

That'd probably work a whole lot better if the app wasn't 439MB.

I've been on a few budget carrier flights that have skipped the headrest display for an airline app. They haven't had external Internet access, as it's just served over a local WiFi connection from an onboard server, so you must install the app before you take off.

hrrsnon Toyota 'reviewing' key fob remote start subscription plan after blowback

hrrsnon Windows 11: Microsoft's pointless update

The new contextual menu is great in places like the desktop, where after choosing ‘show more options’ you get… the exact same options, in the old style.

hrrsnon Clams filter the water and check whether the water is polluted or clean

>Mussels open the shells and every now and then take in a small amount of water, filtering out everything that is suitable for eating. When the water is polluted, they do their best to separate from it, and everyone’s shells just close at the same time. This happens within two minutes. If two or three clams close, it doesn’t have to mean anything, but if there are eight, it’s an alarm. Then our role is to find out what has upset them so much and find out if it is a real or a false alarm – says Podolski.
