Dear Vulture Central,
At the risk of being labelled an old curmudgeon, can we please use proper English rather than the Transpondian version?
I come here because it's a UK-ish slant on tech. I can get US versions (and spellings) just about everywhere else.
Hence the creeping occurrence of 'math' into the usage of today's 'yoof'. Please update your spell checker.
Linux is slowly getting better; Windows is slowly getting worse.
At what point does one change?
If there is no way to remove Recall from Win 11, I think I'll stay with 10 until its updates run out, then hope that all the 'Windows only' applications have a better Linux version.

Start with
"Criminals could remotely tamper with the data that apps used by airplane pilots rely on to inform safe takeoff and landing procedures, according to fresh research."
and finish with
"Our analysis, confirmed by EASA, showed that there was no safety issue thanks to the security procedures in place to validate flight-relevant data..."
Yes, it's possible, but hardly likely if you read the whole article. Come on, El Reg, let's not have click-bait headlines. You're better than that.
