My understanding is the area of the harbour those float planes use is restricted for aircraft use. https://www.portvancouver.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/2019-05-Web-Friendly-File-Safe-Boating-Guide-2019-Update.pdf

The first flight was last November. https://www.twz.com/b-21-raiders-first-flight-what-we-learned This one just had official photos from different angles that haven't been seen before. https://www.twz.com/air/first-aerial-view-of-b-21-raider-offers-new-insights

That will come sooner or later. You can already use the current AI to develop simpler games. https://youtu.be/8y7GRYaYYQg?si=HRP07DxuSRJEMQPO

It's only a couple decades late. Valve originally pitched the idea to Microsoft as they thought it was something the OS should provide, but Microsoft didn't go for it (and has since spent the intervening years trying to catch up). At this point, however, I have little faith it would work out well for the end user. Likely end up with Microsoft's Copilot trying to recommend games to you every time you launch it.

As history is written by the victor, it could well be viewed as the saviour... 🤖😁

People in the southern US states saw the aurora last night. Looks like it they will be out again tonight. https://arstechnica.com/space/2024/05/noaa-says-extreme-solar-storm-will-persist-through-the-weekend/

A European safety organization is starting to push back against the trend to move all controls into a touchscreen. Would be better if regulators did too, but this is a start. https://arstechnica.com/cars/2024/03/carmakers-must-bring-back-buttons-to-get-good-safety-scores-in-europe/

Iceland had plenty of trees when the Vikings first arrived, but almost all of it was cut down for fuel, building and to make way for crops and pastures.

There seems to be an issue with loose switches, and it doesn't need to be held down to continue moving.

There's also a MSFS add-on for the old air mail route across the US. https://msfsaddons.com/2024/01/17/arrows-across-america-for-msfs-fly-the-historic-us-air-mail-routes-from-the-gold-age-of-aviation/ Lots of other historical add-ons popping up on FlightSim.to as well.

They had a successful first flight of the Talon-A a couple days ago. https://www.twz.com/air/stratolaunchs-hypersonic-talon-a-makes-first-powered-flight

They were both designed and built by Scaled Composites for similar purposes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scaled_Composites_Stratolaunch?oldformat=true

I thought the article was pretty clear that the Roc aircraft in the photo above with the 400' wingspan was the carrier/launch aircraft for the Talon hypersonic vehicle (the one intended to reach Mach 5). With the 6 engines and twin fuselages, I could see it having an odd sound as it flew over.

You probably shared the official link that has region restrictions, and the ones charlie found are videos someone else re-uploaded to YouTube.

Not available here it seems.
