Google hid a fully working flight simulator inside Google Earth back in 2007 and never told anyone.
You unlocked it with a secret keystroke: Ctrl+Alt+A. No menu, no announcement. One user stumbled onto it, the combo spread, and it got popular enough that Google made it official the next year. Two planes, an F-16 and a Cirrus SR22, flying over real satellite imagery of the entire planet.
Then it stayed locked inside the downloadable desktop app for 18 years. The browser version was a stripped-down viewer that couldn't run it. Today that changed.
Here is the part that makes it impressive. A flight simulator is the single hardest thing you can ask a 3D map to do. Panning is easy, the software has all the time it wants to load the terrain ahead of you. Flying low and fast strips that away, forcing it to fetch, decompress, and render the world faster than you are crossing it. The hardest possible job for every part of the system at once.
So "just for fun" is carrying a lot of weight in that sentence. Getting this to run in a browser tab is the cleanest proof that the web version finally matches what used to need a desktop app.
The toy is the benchmark.
Alhamdulillah, bukan salah driver lori tu pun.
You see, bukan main nak extend reman driver lori yg tak salah, dia pun sempat ketepi yee nak elak X50 tu, di lane sendiri, xlaju. Tapi sebab kematian ada libatkan anggota polis, so request nak extend reman.
Tu cakap, selagi tak jadi dekat keluarga sendiri, orang sekeliling, takkan la diorang ni nk amik port.
Orang yg xsalah, siap bergari, baju lokap.
Cuba hat mabuk yg sah-sah salah, hg gari pun dak, baju lokap pun tidak. Kelakar undang-undang Malaysia ni. Boleh pilih nak attack siapa.

@KekonaPAB@hxkimiyhy@Freshair_01@umeka0320 it’s so weird that this post is posted by a japanese, in japanese language but ppl get upset when she didn’t mention malay language - isn’t it obvious that they’re just interested in learning Eng/Man, why are you even triggered with their personal interest?
Bukit Kiara Forest Reserve is marked as 'protected area' on maps. Shouldn't it be illegal to build there?
It’s frustrating to see Bukit Kiara under threat when it’s one of the last places city dwellers can actually breathe.
Protection shouldn't be optional.
