Here's a video walkthough of Supernal's Air Taxi at CES 2024.
Supernal is the air mobility company under Hyundai Motor Group, who are developing an electric vertical takeoff and landing (EVToL) aircraft called the S-A2. The company claims they will be flying passengers by 2028.
It looks very cool, but I notice there's not a lot of luggage storage! Would you fly on this?

The CEO of Wordpress.org, Matt Mullenweg, announced they have banned WP Engine (a commercial Wordpress host) from accessing its resources.
If your blog is hosted on WP Engine (wpengine.com) then you're probably affected by this. In short, WordPress.org has blocked WP Engine's customers to install themes and update plugins that are hosted on wordpress.org, including security updates.
It looks like this news impacts over 180k blogs hosted on WP Engine 🤯
If you host your own blog elsewhere (e.g. on your own server), you're probably ok!

This is highly problematic news.
Sadly this is a bit of a pattern, although usually found in the likes of the "deeper" infrastructure in cloud computing - databases such as MongoDB, Elastic(Search) and more recently Redis - the original team leading the open source development find that they're effectively subsidising other commercial teams who can market and scale independently and need to take measures (sometimes at launch, sometimes down the road) to protect the core project.
Over 400 Travel Massive members are hosted on WP Engine! 😬
This is awful! Thankfully, my blog is not affected but I can't imagine dealing with this right after the latest core update from Google 😩
What was the rationale?
Basically, WP Engine not contributing to WordPress, and some egos.
