      There should be an extension that prevents you from risking your privacy accessing an american site that does this

      Then again americans wouldn’t be able to access 90% of their internet so maybe it would be pointless

      Hi guys! Welcome back. So today we’re going to see if we can trigger that unsigned integer underflow bug that some of you have been talking about. As you can see here I’ve already got an Iberia Airbus A380 heading perfectly due West towards Null Island and, thanks to the telemetry bug we found last week that still hasn’t been patched we’ve got it showing as a two-seater Cessna so the occupation rate is 15000% so what were going to do is get the latitude, longitude and altitude to all cross zero at the same time…

    I’m glad I don’t know more about aviation and human nature so I don’t have to worry about this as much as it probably warrants.

    People who are used to not facing real consequences, directing 200-ton metal tubes full of humans through the air above us?

    Probably fine.

    Please at let be the ones that are the hardcore MS flight sim nerds, they do have many who take it super serious at least.

    Being good at some computer games (not just flight simulators) is helpful in getting through the recruitment process. I’d say a mix of having good orientation and implementing and executing a strategy is required at the very least (and sticking to it, which I didn’t do lol), which you definitely get/practice in games.

    However the actual training process can cut those numbers dramatically, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they ignored obvious red flags with some of these ‘gamers’ just to pump those numbers up.
