Petter, about how long ago did you do the video on choosing a pilot bag? I want to watch that video again, but I can't find it.

Thank you very much!!! All the times, my question was, why they had undercooled oil temperature by more oil pressure by wachting this "Mayday - Alarm im Cockpit" episode. Now it's clear.

Couldnt they make it 1% higher

Lose the lame, catchpenny thumbnails, you're too good for that approach (so to speak).

Sir, I believe the comparison to toilet is in bad taste. Kind of like telling that Nord will cover you when you are passing stools...or even the tagline....Nord will cove your s***. May I suggest a better alternative? Perhaps " Just as you protect your home from thieves , Nord VPN protects your data" Or in case of the door analogy, just as the closed gate secures the home, Nord secures your data"

The dog should be centred though, and sleeping in the middle.. or maybe on the floor behind the couch.

They're waiting for mum to arrive home.

​@@rebeccamoon5766 You see them occasionally in his other channel in more casual episodes. However this actually a very sad story, they aren't sleepy, he brought them to Thailand where they mingled with some street dogs and became addicted to opiates. It's why Petter has sponsors, he pretends it's to pay people to help with production but really he's still doing it himself and spending everything on oxy for his pups.

The floofy white pupoof is quite distracting. I have an intense desire for snuggle, pet, kiss but my own poof is taking a nap on the floor and I feel bad waking her up.

But he isnt. He may be skilled, but he isn't a hero.

He's also partly responsible for the incident because he didn't read the checklist.

Not a hero. Checklists exist for a reason.

​@@muskiet8687 He did what was there in the checklist. if the checklist was so foolproof then why did Airbus altered their checklist after the event?

@@QuintonDeLauda No, he did not do what was in the checklist, because he didn't actually read it, physically. The very first point on the fuel imbalance checklist was "Don't do this if you have a fuel leak". He did not see that, because he did not physically use the printed checklist, and just went through the motions for a DIFFERENT scenario, which he had misidentified. Reading that real, physical checklist would have brought to his attention that they possibly did have a leak, and therefore should not have being following that procedure. It's all there, in the video, if you watch it completely.

Well the tectonic plate drift created the atlantic so.....

In deed the tectonic plate drift will eventually push those island against the continent .... So won't we island.... But hey, then we will get a mountain :D

I LOST IT, SO FUNNY, when I saw your post. THANK YOU

My family is from that beautiful island, Terceira. My parents immigrated to the USA but we’ve often returned to visit throughout my life

​@@franciscoj7540 Actually no, the Atlantic is expanding and the Pacific retracting. Two tectonic plates can move in relation to one another by 3 ways, 1- lateral movement 2-subduction (one plate gets swallowed by the other) 3- Spreading (new land is formed with a ridge in the middle of the two). For the islands to approach the continent, a subduction zone must exist in either North America east coast or in western europe (Portugal, Spain, Northern France, and the British Isles.) Looking at a tectonic plate map there aren't any such zones. The American plate is continuous starting in the Azores and ending in the subduction zone in the west coast (California, British Columbia, Alaska, etc). The same is true for the eurasian plate, it's continuous from the Azores till Russia, Koreas, China, Japan, etc. The mid atlantic ridge is creating new ocean floor pushing the american and eurasian plate against the pacific plate, decreasing the size of the pacific ocean and increasing the atlantic. 1 to 10 cm per year. I'm from the Azores islands and I studied geology in high school. Fun fact the Azores are located in the junction of the american, eurasian and african plates. The last volcanic eruption was 60 years ago, the last major earthquake 40 years ago. Spreading plates are much safer than lateral moving and subduction. Half of my island is in the african plate and the other on the eurasian. Two of the nine islands are in the american plate, so on the other side of the ridge meaning that they are getting away from the rest. The lajes airport is also leased to the US air force and played an important role in WW2, Golf War and War on Terror, nowadays due to budget cuts it's just a gas station for the USAF. Mentour's company flies from europe to the Azores.

LOL, Good call!

I agree with Anthony down here. I blame the gremlins that run out on the tarmac and just create issues for everyone. ;) Airlines just treat there passengers like cattle. Get in, get out, do it on the cheap, less leg room & repeat!

I had a job doing maintenance on Cherry pickers. The day I started, the depot manager gave me a 'tour' of the depot. He pointed out fire exit and alarm call points. I asked "Is the alarm a bell or a siren" . " " . "Does the fire alarm work ?", I then asked. So, on the day I started, by lunchtime I knew I wasn't going to be working there long-term. It seems the whole company was shoddy. So, beware of any access platforms plastered with Loxam or any of its subsidiaries. I carried out inspections and effectively certified equipment fit to use. I'd done one 'in advance' on condition an issue was rectified. In the manager's office, he made it clear the problem was not going to be dealt with - so I ripped up my certification there & then.

Right at the beginning of this clip I was shocked that the airline had zero spare engines. If you're out of spare engines, shouldn't somebody be ordering additional ones? And long before you use the last spare engine. It seems of course that the airline itself wasn't faulted for this lack of preparation.

@@WestOfEarth Spare engines not necessary. Any aircraft needing an engine would be grounded until one was fitted.

Puppy: Sigh, time for slepp.

Agree - confirmation bias occurs to all of us. The good news is that for most of us we have much longer time to discover our error then airline pilots.

There's a name for that. It's the "rubber duck" technique. (Named after a particular programmer who kept bothering his co-workers for help and as soon as he started explaining it he realized himself what mistake he was making and the co-worker's time was unnecessary. Eventually they bought him a rubber ducky and placed it on his computer desk, saying "explain your problem aloud to the rubber duck first. If the rubber duck can't help you, THEN ask for help from someone else." The technique was so effective that soon everyone had their own rubber ducky and was using it.) The act of explaining it to someone else forces you to articulate your thinking step by step, which brings your subconscious assumptions to the surface where you notice them.

When you have 10 instruments measuring the temperature and one of them says it's too hot, it IS too hot - until you can prove the instrument is faulty.

I do almost exactly the same thing! Tbh, I drive my boyfriend mad, ill get half way through an explanation and just stop, thinking there's no point in carrying on because I'm talking rubbish haha. I've learnt to actually finish my sentence because two brains are better than one, and there might have been somethung interesting buried in my gibberish. Plus, he's very nice to me and says he's always interested in my thought process even if it is a bit wonky at times haha. Its amazing how clear and logical something will sound inside your head, and then how ridiculous it sounds when said out loud. Talking really does help with getting things straightened out.

I learned this from Andy Hunts 'The Pragmatic Programmer' book. Very interesting stuff. A senior developer in my organisation handed out some Rubber Ducks before he left, too!

Right? The number of times in these stories they have to send a flight attendant to go look at the wings through the windows is absolutely absurd. A few cameras and you could have a much quicker understanding of the situation and status of the aircraft which could save minutes when trying to diagnose problems.

Considering that exterior lighting would also be necessary for normal cameras to be effective in darkness, do you think thermal cameras would have helped here? As an engineer, I'm pretty sure the thermal view of engine exhaust from the leaky engine would have looked very different from the normal engine

Newer aircraft do have cameras externally. Some even let passengers a look from the tail and nose ones. (Not recommended for people with vertigo)

@@DMAX-tp4pc Although there are many pratical considerations, do you think it would be fesable for something like this: Camera area is covered by metal shielding by default. In emergency situation where abnormal event has occurred, pilots flip a switch which removes the metal cover. There would still of course be many issues, especially with temperature, but it seems like something that aviation really should have implemented in some regard at least a decade or so ago.

You are spot on. The airline industry processes have a lot that many can learn from.

Also from an IT background, never underestimate the vast quantity of nonsensical erroneous behavior that you'll find in Microsoft products if you work with them long enough.

It's not the people blame the machine, it's rather that they blame the programmer of the machine. And yes, it's much easier to blame an absent human (the programer) than it is to blame the present human (the user). The name for this is "proximity bias." There is no known phenomenon that would describe a bias against machines other than in the movies. The closest you might have is "mechanophobia", which is a fear of machines, but surely you're not suggesting that. It's much more reasonable to conclude that when people are blaming the machine irrationally they are really just blaming the guy they don't know and who is not present: the programmer.

@@josephdestaubin7426 - As another person who works/worked in IT. Nah. The average user is _not_ thinking about programmers. They haven't got the slightest clue how software is made. Also absolutely OP, if people would just take a breath, slow down and read what the computer is telling them I wouldn't have half the tickets I have. _"Hello, my computer is broken, I want to do [thing] but I get an error."_ > "Okay, what does the error say?" _"I don't know, I didn't understand it."_ >"Okay, can you read it to me?" _"No I clicked 'OK'."_ ... 😐😐 Takes every ounce of restraint to not just yell 'Why?!'. Why do you just click OK on an error message you don't understand? People just get frustrated and mash OK or the X to close to just get through the annoying screens that stop them from using the computer. How they don't realize that's just making things worse is beyond me.

@Andrew Hall Yeah is it a "random glitch" though, or just poor programming? Because poor programming is consistently bad.

@Andrew Hall While I agree with the sentiment, I wouldn't call firmware on a couple machines put onto the aircraft "a large system".

Don't worry. You're yet to reach the next phases, "panicked passenger" and "I'd rather not fly back home".

I’m the same! I feel like hearing a professional explaining these events is kind of like exposure therapy without having to get on a plane 😂

@@duartesimoes508, I've already been at both stages. Last time I flew I took double doses of the recommended doses Stesolid I got from my doctor, and I felt nothing but fear and terror. I was shaking severely the whole flight, and was about to start crying when we took off. I was placed between my friend and my boyfriend so they could calm me down. Now it's been 8 months since I posted this comment, and I still haven't been out flying, but I'm still excited for it.

Same, I was a ‘nope’ flyer at one point after some very bad turbulence scared me stupid. I was in a plane with horrendous turbulence at approach into Bangor, Maine (v. Old flight path to the uk, Florida to Bangor, off the plane for passport checks again, then back on to get across the Atlantic) and how I got back on to fly across the Atlantic is a mystery! I wanted to go to the Caribbean to get hitched (just the 2 of us), so I did a fear of flying audiobook (with a regular book too) and binge watched aircraft investigation. Seeing how most things have been fixed so they can’t happen again and how skilled the crews are (and how few accidents there have been considering how many flights there are) really calms me down. I have a flight booked soon so I’m bingeing these videos to help. Thankfully I’m a quiet, deathgrip on the armrests sort of flyer, silently panicked!

Thanks! That’s nice to hear

Sorry to hear about your troubles

Probably goes the same way for each scientific field.

Scary. I'd feel happier hearing bits and pieces doing stuff. I imagine one day we will have silent aircraft, but that makes me uneasy for some reason :/

It scares me even in MS Flight Simulator in low fuel 'challenges' lol..

Have you tried the dual-engine failure mission in FSX? Yeah, not good... Unless you're a glider pilot, you don't use engines to keep yourself in the air.

It wasn't silent at all! As I mentioned elsewhere, all passengers were screaming and praying loudly. There was panic. I'm Portuguese and I remember well the interviews with the passengers. All agree.

@N0616JC Productions @Kimmobiino Y -- F4 --Y "Hi Doris, any chance of a couple of strong coffees up here?"

What surprised me is that even after #2 engine flamed out, they didn't shut off the crossfeed valve. An engine doesn't fail because of an instrumentation computer glitch. It should have been obvious at that point what the reason for the imbalance was, and that the instruments were right all along. Maybe they just were too distracted with the emergency?

@@joesterling4299 one of the important things is to realize that any situation we are not familiar with slows down out thinking, in other words diminishes our brain power, to mitigate we go "back to basics"...Control, Power, Drag, for an engine to produce power it must have fuel, how much and where from...

When the kettle takes 3 seconds longer to boil......you know this could be the end.

the whole thing screamed fuel leak. but i suppose if you rigidly follow procedure, no matter what, ...........

@@ursodermatt8809 the procedures assume we have a bit of brain power...if fuel flow and power are close to equal on both engines, then the lower fuel level is probably because fuel is flowing somewhere else besides into the engine...I remember once on a Dash8 I'm recording the engine parameters in the logbook, normally done on first flight daily, and wondering why the Inter Turbine Temp(ITT) on one engine is so much higher than the other. then I'm wondering why is the airspeed so high. I pulled the power back to where the ITT on both engines were about the same and the airspeed came down to where it should have been, but the Torque on one was significantly lower than the other...problem, under reading Torque gage! I flipped back a few pages to see when the offending Torque got offended...was about 4 or 5 days earlier, that means over 8 captains(16 pilots) missed it!

I am sure it's a change you took the time to implement that saved many lives. Just saving one life is worth the effort.

We Canadians like our gliding, eh. :)

@@turbofanlover bad mouths would say Canadians don't realize insufficient fuel in time. :) just kidding.

@@turbofanlover We like to load aircraft with half of the fuel required just to test our superior gliding skills.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CANADA!

I've noticed Canadians who seem desperate to escape Canada. I wonder if that desperation contributes to departures without means to reach destinations.

It is correct

True... It's never happened to me, but it's happened many times to a dumbass who looks like me... A lot like me....

The way I see this accident is that while the captain messed up big time he was able to 'fix' it and get everyone on the ground safely. Not ideal, but still praiseworthy. The guy was a great pilot in the stick and rudder sense, just not good at managing new fangled computerized systems (really should be flying an Airbus though). I would hope these days pilots know better than to chalk stuff up to a computer glitch, but for an older guy in the early 2000s' that must've seemed probable and fed into his confirmation bias regarding the system. Still, I'd rather have a pilot that knows how to fly the actual plane than a pilot who's mastered the automation, we've seen plenty of preventable accidents caused by overreliance on automation and they ended in a loss of life instead of just the loss of an airframe.

Dropping down due to loosing an engine is usually the last thing you want, altitude is both potential energy and gives better fuel efficiency! and you thus want as much as possible when things start to fail, ESPECIALLY on an ETOPS flight, so I really doubt that descending to 10k feet would be part of any engine-out ETOPS procedures. As various real pilots (I'm not one) have discussed many times the normal reaction on a loosing an engine on a twin engine aircraft is a controlled drift-down to the one engine altitude, basically keeping the correct speed by slowly reducing altitude to provide the now missing engine power, which AFAIK is what these pilots did when they lost the first engine. This preserves as much potential energy as long as possible and gives the best possible fuel use - all leading to having more time. In this case the second engine failed a little while later at which point the drift-down gets much steeper since it now have to convert altitude to energy to replace both engines power to keep speed under control (and air will start to leak out). The pilot could have dived to 10k to avoid the air pressure falling too low and triggering the oxygen masks but didn't. I believe no pilot would do that in his situation - he's over water when the second engine fails the *only* potential power he has left is his altitude, you don't throw that away until you're very close to the airport, if necessary circling there to burn of any excess height. Note that with one engine not working the plane will need more fuel to cover a given distance even at the same altitude and once you start to the drift down to a sustainable altitude it'll get (slightly) worse. I would expect that on an ETOPS flight loosing one engine will automatically trigger the "is there any airport we can glide to if necessary, and if not where is the closest and how can we make it into gliding range if something more happens" thinking. Which is a exactly what they did here. If I remember correctly the Mayday episode on this flight claimed that their normal flight plan wouldn't have left them within gliding range of that airport but due to the winds that day they were flying further south than normal which made this landing possible. It also mentioned that something about the Airbus fuel management system made it less obvious that there was a leak and that Airbus did changes to that after this accident. Regulation doesn't account for pilots using the cross-feed valve with a fuel leak because if you include that possibility no flight beyond gliding range would be permitted by any airplane regardless of number of engines 😃

Jean-Francois Mezei 21:17 yea, they descend to single engine service level (to avoid stall or something I guess). So you descend as per airplane specifications if you loose an engine.

Hi, I live in Açores. It seems that the Captain was ready to ditch the plane, but thr ATC controller noticed that landing at Terceira was possible.

@@Torbjorn.Lindgren On a single engine, you can either do a controlled drift down... Or you can stay up and come down by force as in a stall. Those are your two options when 1 engine fail, and you do not save your speed or gain distance if you insist on holding your altitude until it stalls.

6:10 They are also illusionists.

Agree. It seems a bit "lazy" to assume that because you have multiple instrument readings that doesn't make sense to you it is all caused by this "computer glitch ". However always trusting the system unfortunately isn't the solution either. You need to keep thinking and actively question yourself to minimize confirmation bias.

Exactly since machine is built by humans

They failed to properly diagnose the problem in the first place, but they should still be commended for that landing. So, a wash I guess? In the end you're graded on a pass/fail basis, and it was still a successful landing, considering.

Until AWE1549

I can't stop thinking about the wheelchair users on board, it's terrifying enough to think about being a passenger on board, imagine what the wheelchair users must have thought. Even with life vests and not having the knowledge of the flight crew, it must have been truly terrifying.

@@CarinaCoffee That is a terrible thought for sure. However on this flight to Lisbon there were no non-ambulatory passengers. The Portuguese travellers including the elderly are an incredibly robust people. Had the flight been a charter to or from the UK then your scenario would be a real concern. In the Air Transat flight incident there was only one physical injury--an elderly woman incurred a broken leg during the emergency evacuation when she jumped from the door down the slide.

@@derekt4017 ah I see. I thought there were wheelchair users on board because Petter mentioned that information that the cabin crew gave the cockpit.

@@CarinaCoffee Flight crews refer to passengers who cannot cannot walk long distances (the kind you find in large airports for example) as WCHR. They may also be referring to quadrapalegic passengers who are indicated as WCHC (carry-on) meaning they are non-ambulatory and must be carried to their seat using a special chair that fits down the aisle, commonly referred to as a straight back chair. When referring to any passenger arriving at the door of the aircraft in a wheelchair they are referred to as passengers needing a wheelchair, regardless of the distinction.

As a cave diver, I can also add that if the instruments are telling you that your air is disappearing faster than expected you don't ignore them.

I work as a SCADA engineer, creating control systems for the National Grid electricity distribution network and *every* time there is a problem out in the wild the first thing the engineers on the ground do is blame the software ... even if it's been in place and running perfectly for a decade! :lol:. Top tip for all the hardware guys and general system users out there ... it usually *isn't* the software that's mysteriously gone wrong when a working system malfunctions. There *are* times that a design can be at fault and you will get initial problems that are corrected during commissioning but once a system is in and up then if a malfunction occurs it will save time to initially look at the hardware rather than try to 'teflon shoulder' the problem onto the SCADA design team :grins:. I can actually only recall one incident in twenty five years of doing this job where the fault was actually in the SCADA databases rather than being a mechanical or installation problem.

Yes, absolutely right.

I do not know how they do it in that industry, but my colleagues are so 'cheap' when it comes to creating alarms for the operators, there is almost as if they pay for them with their own money, sometimes when I work on those plants there is no indication to assist me and/or the operators, it is so annoying and disappointing, me, in my projects fill the sw with alarm functions, also, when I commission my own systems and notice some strange conditions or wrong operation I create an alarm for that scenario, the result is customers manage by themselves, never contacting my company for technical support, alarms in systems are worth their weight in gold

I thought this too. There should surely be some sort of check not only that fuel is balanced correctly, but that it is going down at a rate expected given how the engines have been used. This would be a general warning system for a fuel leak anywhere (reminds me of how an RCD protects an electrical circuit). There may be a good answer for that, idk.

@@nathan87 I know on the 707's I used to work, we had fuel flow indicators. If the configuration was the same on the A330, they would have seen a crazy-high fuel flow indication that probably wouldn't make sense vs EPR (how hard the engine is working) and EGT (how hot the exhaust is). I wonder if those old 707 "steam gauges" would have told them a more accurate story.

Because it might be another problem that's isn't a fuel leak. Also the checklist has all the stuff you need to know in any situation. Generally... But still if they had checked out the checklist they would have no problem

Not only a high fuel flow indication, but a fuel flow imbalance indication would have helped. Plus, if the pilots would have thought for a moment they might have realized WHY they had a fuel imbalance, when they started out balanced.

Great!! Hope you will enjoy it!

Robert Piché was an experienced bush pilot, not a glider pilot. He was piloting into the northern regions of Québec since the age of 17, he worked for several small independent airlines that served the Inuit communities near the Arctic circle and northern mining towns in Québec. He was also well known for his trafficking of marijuana from Jamacia into the USA. He was arrested in 1983 at a small Georgian airfield with a full load on his plane. Served 16 months in the local state jail.

@@martinschwaikert5433 Yes. (Actually, I think all Airbuses do, but I might be wrong on that. The A330 definitely does.)

@@beeble2003 I think all airliners do have one indeed. (Or if they don't that's because unlike Airbuses they have mechanical linkages between flight controls and control surfaces just like Cessnas for example).

@@psirvent8 I have a vague feeling (emphasis on "vague") that some airliners have some alternative system, but I can't think what that would be (see? vague). But perhaps I am just thinking of planes where there are mechanical linkages so no additional system is required.

Yeah - One of my favourite TV shows a few years ago was Ice Pilots NWT. Canadian bush pilots really are a special breed. When a British TV production wanted to recreate the dambusters mission they used Buffalo and their retired chief pilot to do it.

I heard he was doing drug runs in his earlier piloting days and he got caught but somehow was pardoned. Sure he has redeemed himself with this amazing feat of airmanship!

@@zoidberg444 I wasn't even aware of that series. Something new to binge watch. Thx for the heads up!

Yeah I heard things like that too. Many "take the dough and don't ask questions" stuff in places where climate makes Siberia look like the tropics. Redemption earned ten fold for sure!

That was your takeaway from this? He couldn't read a fuel gauge, he pumped all the remaining fuel overboard. He didn't understand the low fuel situation even when the RH engine flamed out and continued to pump the remaining (about an hour's worth) fuel overboard. He totally screwed up the approach, bounced the landing, over braked, destroyed the gear and for the cherry on top, ordered an emergency evacuation of an aircraft that didn't have a drop of fuel on board and which couldn't burn. If it hadn't been for ATC talking him down he'd have ditched in the ocean at night. That was his "plan". Not *exactly* my personal definition of a great pilot. I struggle to think of a single thing he did right.

Some pilots do the same.. They sort of cancel the conversation out..

Yeah, and if you want to have a plane full of wide-awake passengers, have both engines go silent in the middle of the Atlantic.

both puddles are totally onboard with Mentour's story 😃

they heard the story before

Works on your wife also😂😂😂

If they had realized the problem earlier, they probably would have made a detour and landed sooner. Which would have been less urgent, also maybe they could have shut down the leaking engine to stop losing fuel.

Since the incident even airbus made changes to their procedures. It's always easy to come back and say the crew did X thing wrong, etc. but maybe you would of made the same mistake back then.

@@maxou5757 an actual pilot just told you that they would have been supposed to watch the fuel level but thy did not. no excuse here.

@@RomanKurzwernhart1 I am an actual Airbus pilot for a major airline…

@@maxou5757 ok. what do you want to tell me ? aren't you supposed to watch the fuel level ? isn't that basic stuff ?

Thank goodness AZORES exists for just such emergency landings!

@Kunta Kinte it's an ISLAND...how much LONGER could they make that RUNWAY!!?

@@MsElke11 the plane stopped at 2300 meter on a 3000 meter long runway.

@Kunta Kinte Lajes has a really great runway (3310m X 60m), it's not very common to find a 60m wide runway. No need to be upgraded. The Civil Terminal on the other hand... but that is someting that the local government shoul do and no onde else. Anyways, thanks for the concern

Caro vitor, permita-me discordar da sua opinão. Esse senhor sargento, controlador de tráfego aério, que estava de serviço, e que fazendo os cálculos, disse ao comandate, que era possivel aterrar em segurança, foi noticia em todas as televisões e rádios. Não tenho a certeza se recebeu alguma condecoração, ou louvor; mas penso que sim.

737 Max

@@roquemocan Yes, in the case of the MAX, sadly, it was the computer (sensors) at fault.

Yes, that tells a lot about the usual software quality in planes. A safe way to deal with that would be to assume computer is broken BUT still consider all blamed systems as broken, TOO. It would be safe to assume that you have to complete the flight without the computer or any of the systems that the computer reported as problematic. If losing all those systems is not safe, it's time to start looking for place to land as soon as possible.

Computers do not programme themselves.....don't forget.

@@rutherd9616 Yes, software can have all kind of problems. However, redundant computer systems (like those in flight computers) do not suddenly fail because there isn't a single part where failure could cause failure for the whole computer system. Then there's MAX and MCAS where the system was intentionally programmed to not switch to working AoA sensor due FAA rules.

Glad you liked it my friend! Feel free to help me out by sharing the content

@@MentourPilot Thanks, for this quick reaction.

@@legofan798 What's also helpful, is to make friends with some native speakers.

@@bishop51807 I have already done that.

they are still jetlagged from experiencing last trip story 🙃

what...?? dog didn't say not one "bark"

They can likely fly and are on rest breaks now ;-)

LOL I was wondering if anyone else noticed that the dog is not amused

not at all. we need more

Haha! I’ve had feedback about my ads so I wanted to do something different.

Glad you liked it, I wanted to do something different! 😂

The video of days ago on the security brief you will never get 😂 did teach something

Yeah but a lot of misinformation given. Today all information is encrypted by default, VPNs only usefulness is to circumvent area services.

Well, I don't say that this is some good VPN. I am only using my private network and I have VPN in my browser.

Mike Law Not entirely true. Most DNS lookups for example are still unencrypted, so they, as well as source and destination IP addresses and ports, are (by necessity) visible to your ISP, and to an extent to other carriers along the IP route. Also, there are still plenty of unencrypted web sites out there (yes, it’s 2020, and yes, there are), so depending on how much you trust your ISP (you shouldn’t), a VPN is still a really good idea. Of course, you only move your needed trust to the VPN provider, but they live only on their reputation for discretion and integrity protection, so they have a higher stake in that game than the ISP.

People who fly desks dont understand when stuff hits the fan in the air. Cars can pull over. Planes cannot.
