@ashleygjovik Even if the submission was longer than they ordered, considering the lack of substantive difference in the abbreviated version, clearly Apple Inc. would not have been materially prejudiced by the original complaint (even ignoring their market cap + $150+ billion in liquid assets)

I agree, it looks like the court didn't like it. They appear to acknowledge your pro se status to some extent, but they also seem to be holding you to a fairly strict standard? (I'm not American I don't know if this is typical)

It saddens me how much knowledge is locked away in Discord servers, and will absolutely vanish within 5yrs

Forums from 20yrs ago still show up as useful for me from time to time

Inflight wifi didn't work so of course I had to debug it. It appears the problem is lack of DHCP lease. The WiFi was using 8 hour leases, which was time enough for many planeloads of passengers to embark/disembark.

A quick ARP scan at the time showed there were 55 devices on the network, almost entirely mobile devices (which randomize their MAC addresses, whereas laptops don't).

Given the number of takeoffs and landings in the 8 hour period, the lease table can easily fill up.

The fun fact about DHCP is that when this condition happens, it sends no response to the client. In other words, when trying to diagnose why " the wifi isn't working", there's no difference between this cause and half a dozen other causes.

I have to guess this is the cause simply by looking at the fact lots of other people seem to have successfully gotten a DHCP response but I haven't.

I told the flight attendant "the WiFi isn't working". She then "reset the Internet", after which I could get a lease. Apparently in the front near the entrance/exit, there's a button simply labeled "INTERNET RESET" that she presses whenever a customer complains.

Obviously, one solution to the problem is that DHCP leases on planes should be drastically shorter, like at 1 hour intervals. Secondly, the number of leases should be drastically increased.
