  • Okay I will admit it was impressive to see how they solved where to stow the wings and essentially shrink the airplane footprint to a long car footprint, but who is this for? Who out there has $1mil to blow and is like, “I have to drive directly from the tarmac to my hotel”?

    This thing needs 300m of runway in its airplane form to get airborne, so forget city or even suburban takeoffs. And you’re not going to just drive this thing around. At the end of the day, this is still a (very fancy) plane that drives.



  • Unfortunately, this didn’t fix it, either before or after. sensors-detect can see the ITE chipset, but it says

    Trying family 'ITE'...
    Found unknown chip with ID 0x8688
    

    After which it doesn’t find any modules to load for it, despite having a DKMS module installed that includes that chip.

    (Also, I realize that I was using the incorrect ID before, but it seemed to work anyway.)
