CarPlay and Android Auto were engineered from the start to be as agnostic to the car's hardware as possible. Your car's stereo is really just a dumb screen (i.e. just a display and input/output interface) with the phone doing most of the rendering + a few other things (i.e. providing some car instrumentation, like fuel remaining, if the manufacturer enables it) - the hardware requirements aren't really strict from a performance standpoint (minus CarPlay Ultra, and even then, that's just a tighter integration).
It depends on the airport! Some smaller airports (like Corona Municipal Airport where the story is based) - are untowered, meaning that there's no central ATC to chat with when taking off/landing - everyone announces what they're doing as they're doing it and there's a traffic pattern/flow that everyone follows to ensure there's no conflicts - it works surprisingly well.
In the US, you can get shockingly very far without having to chat with ATC.
There's no "requirement" that pilots announce their intentions on the common frequency at uncontrolled airports, some aircraft may not even have radios.

Got to love it when a Citation whose pilot is to arrogant to radio and a crop duster that doesn’t have any instruments to speak of are both in the pattern.

Having been cut off by that particular pilot once in the pattern and once when I was holding short, I’m absolutely there for everyone on CTAF absolutely tearing them apart for a straight two minutes until someone from UNICOM tells the Vietnam vets in their hangars to shut the fuck up. (Eastern Idaho. Uncontrolled.)
Yes, that's a fair comment technically speaking: Cloudflare Workers + KV + Durable Objects is a backend. I was trying to imply No user accounts, no persistent database, no stateful sessions etc I will reword - thanks for the feedback
1. This is an official Docker image/container from Ubiquiti themselves - no more relying on LinuxServer.io/jacobalberty, etc...
2. With the "UniFI OS" branding, the door is open to the possibility of being able to run Talk, Protect, Access, etc... on your own hardware in the future.
I toast jacobalberty once or twice a year when I login to my Synology / Docker / UniFi Controller app and gaze upon the pretty graphs and throughput visualizer.
Love it. Thank you kind sir for your work!
As others have said, UniFi had some tough years but that early stuff just works and my uptime is in years.
And don't downplay how much of a role politics can play at making those facts/performance metrics harder/easier to achieve - and some companies are excellent deluding themselves into thinking it's not the case.
I know the intro video is a render - but the folding of the purple sheet looks so... unnatural (to put it lightly) - like the cloth physics do exactly what is convenient for the video and don't reflect reality.
Don't picture them as OTA firmware updates. Picture them as OTA navigation data updates (i.e. maps, charts, waypoints, airport info, etc...) - that's much easier to pull off.
The process right now is pulling out an SD card from your Garmin/Avidyne/BendixKing whatever every 28-days or so (that's how often the FAA updates the navigation database backing these avionics), popping it into your PC, using software/webistes that could be... much better designed (to put it lightly) and then going back again. It's not exactly the hardest thing in the world, but it's not exactly a walk in the park either (especially for less-technically inclined pilots, who just let it lapse, and click out of the big expiration warnings every time they start up their planes).
I can see what was meant with that statement. I do think compression increases Shannon entropy by virtue of it removing repeating patterns of data - Shannon entropy per byte of compressed data increases since it’s now more “random” - all the non-random patterns have been compressed out.
Total information entropy - no. The amount of information conveyed remains the same.
Technically with lossy compression, the amount of information conveyed will likely change. It could even increase the amount of information of the decompressed image, for instance if you compress a cartoon with simple lines and colors, a lossy algorithm might introduce artifacts that appear as noise.
