Considering it was just meant to be a proof of concept and only fly once or twice I would say that 71 flights, a max altitude of 78 ft(24 m), and 10.6 miles or 17 kilometers of travel, not to mention all of the footage from its on board cameras, makes Ingenuity an astounding success.

This fuselage failure actually happened where a door could be in the future. These locations are called plugs, if an airliner decides to add the door at some point in the future the plug is removed and a door is added in its place. In this instance the plug was more of a cork and popped upon pressurization.
Pretty much everything produced by Eve (besides their cameras) and Nanoleaf is connected via Thread. They were once only available for the Apple ecosystem but since the Matter standards were released they have been venturing out. Thread is relatively new but it’s use in new devices will only grow. Thread and Zigbee use the same wireless protocol (IEEE 802.15.4) but differs from Zigbee products for it doesn’t require individual homehubs for each separate company. Thread products also benefit from power consumption that is similar to that of Bluetooth but has a range on par with Wi-Fi. Thread device also act as gateways or a tunnels for passing along commands to other Thread devices on the Thread network so where each additional Wi-Fi based device further burdens the network each additional Thread device only strengthens it. Needless to say I’m a fan of Thread.
“Florida gun owners encouraged to 'shoot the storm' and fire their guns at Hurricane Irma
By Harriet Alexander New York 9 September 2017 • 8:47am Shoot at Irma A Florida man who suggested shooting guns at Hurricane Irma out of "stress and boredom" has found that his idea has captured peoples' imaginations - with over 46,000 signing up to join in.
Hurricane Irma is due to hit Florida on Saturday, and the state is currently experiencing the largest ever mass evacuation due to a hurricane in American history.
But Ryon Edwards, 22, came up with a novel way of amusing himself during the storm: firing bullets into it.
He started a Facebook "event", and as of Friday evening 46,000 people say they are interested.
"A combination of stress and boredom made me start the event," he told the BBC.
"The response is a complete and total surprise to me.
"I never envisioned this event becoming some kind of crazy idea larger than myself. It has become something a little out of my control."
The "Shoot at Irma" page Graphics suggesting how to shoot at a hurricane have sprung up online, with the suggestion that if you fire correctly the bullet might not come back and kill you.
Since Mr Edwards came up with his "masterplan", other similar Facebook pages have been created - including one suggesting using flame throwers to scare away the storm.
"It's time we took a stand against this bully!" reads the event description. "This is our home, nobody drives us out of our own territory.
"Join me in this fight as we shoot flames at Hurricane Irma and dissipate her on the spot."”
Both my comment (Obama gif) and the person you replied to were replying to someone that posted in the wrong thread. They have since deleted their comment, leaving our comments without a parent comment. Lemmy has now randomly assigned our comments to different parent comments. Actually kind of interesting.
My 6s still gets software support, does it run the latest OS? No, of course not and nor should it. But Apple is still supporting/supplying my old ass iPhone general software/security updates. It’s in a company’s best interest to get customers to purchase their latest products but that shouldn’t undercut their commitment to their older products. I have stayed an Apple customer not because of their new products but because of the longevity of their old products/ support for said products.
I’m shocked! Shocked I tell you!
I feel like there are multiple levels spice to try before jumping ghost pepper. Although I suppose that each person has their own spice tolerance.

As someone with little knowledge of Formula 1 I have a question. Seeing how fucked this car is and knowing how ridiculously expensive each car is, who is going to pay for its replacement? Will Ocon’s team have to pay to replace the car or will Red Bull foot the entire bill themselves?
