From my understanding there is a switch/toggle to turn off MCAS.
The problem is that if you switch off MCAS while the trim is down the only way to retrim the aircraft is with the trim wheel, as using the trim switches on the yoke switch MCAS back on. That means if you switch off MCAS when the aircraft is in a dive you have 250+ turns of that wheel to make before the trim is back to its neutral position.

Also, the higher the airspeed, the more difficult it is to move that wheel. Based on multiple news reports, at any rate.

The goal of this post is to explore some concrete applications of this strange new operator and its associated counterpart, the operator== (yes it has been changed, for the better!), all while providing some guidelines for its use in everyday code. And I think it's gonna be a long, long time before I use this one

The latest version of the bot detector reCaptcha is invisible to users and has spread to more than 650,000 websites. It’s great for security—but not so great for your privacy. You had me at Google and 'dark side'
They have cookies!

In the days of ReCaptcha mk 1 (type out the non-words written in illegible text) I used to think that it was the worst thing ever.
Then came ReCaptcha mk 2 (tick the pictures which have x in them, even though they arguably all do or don't) I was forced to update that opinion.
Now we have one that assumes that anyone with a Google account is human and anyone without one is not and I sense that I'll soon be updating that opinion again.
Taking something awful and successfully making it worse with every single iteration is clearly a skill of sorts, but it's not one that should be inflicted upon the public.

So just block the recaptcha servers altogether.
Sites will rethink things, once they see their revenues dropping because the recaptcha script is not letting anyone in.
Thinking something is bad doesn't change it. You have to put your money where your mouth is.

I hate google captcha now. I will hate it even more in the future I guess...

I don't use reCaptcha on my website anymore. Tried https://hcaptcha.com/ instead. Working pretty well so far and I even have some additional income, haha.

According to the article, this new "password-killer app" has a 95% success rate under ideal circumstances. They claim it to be unique, but how unique is it exactly, given the amount of people on the planet? As unique as a GUID?
That information is lacking; is it based on the 9-year old magnetometer[^]?

You keep repeating that - perhaps time you found something that interests you more?
