Indeed. We don't know the conditions of the test. Maybe it was running the engines through a simulated flight. Or they were testing the engine in different failure modes to see if it shuts itself down or takes care of the problem correctly. Or they were doing a deliberate test to failure where a RUD is the expected result.

Of course, because a forced arranged marriage to a narcissistic fuckwit would have made her life so much better... /s
About all this is doing is making me update my lists in UBO more often.
I think in the later dying days of the floppy disk, the manufacturers made them with really poor quality. It used to be in earlier years, say the 8-bit years when floppy disks were still floppy, that the disks could keep your data for years if you treated them like vinyl records and never touched the magnetic surface.
In the late years, I've seen floppy disks that failed almost immediately.
Ah, let me guess, now Google's gonna get everyone and their sister to move all their content to apps...
Easy. Manufacturers pay for endcap displays and choice shelf space. It's advertising for them. (source: I work for a brewery, and that's how they put together the beer aisle. I've seen the software used to build the shelf arrangements.)
Grocery chains have software for putting together shelf arrangements. Suppliers have to pay if they want their products at a quality location at eye level, or near the ends of the aisle. And of course pay more for things like endcap displays.
Pixel Buds are the same way. IIRC from a teardown vid, those earbuds (and I'm guessing most of their competitors' too) are designed to be quasi-disposable in this way. They're glued together, the only way to open them up destroys them, warranty support consists of replacing defective earbuds.
This business model does create an e-waste issue... More lithium ion batteries ending up in landfills, more gold extracted from components by kids in developing nations burning them and breathing the carcinogens...
LOL - sink dish soap in the dishwasher!
I have made that error once... Lucy, you got some 'splainin' to do!
TikTok's parent corporation is strongly tied to the Chinese gov't and the CCP. So yes, they do, though of course they deny it...
I was thinking the same thing!
Strikebreaking for the Glorious Worker's Revolution! That's how it's supposed to work, right?
