Getting crushed between a wall and a moving train sounds pretty metal

On a LHR-ICN Asiana flight in 2019 I had a fat asian guy freak out at me for doing this. He kept looking over at my phone screen to make sure I turned on airplane mode and I just wasn't and I just kept writing on Discord. We weren't even on the runway yet.

He kept whining more and more about it until hitting the call attendant button so he could grass on me. The attendant came over and asked me to turn airplane mode on. I just smiled, said okay and continued anyway. His smug smile turned into anger and complained at me for a good 5 minutes while I had my headphones on so I wasn't listening to what he was saying. The plane was taking off, he hit the button again but nobody came because the attendants were seated.

When the plane took off, I calmly said sorry to him and he responded with something along the lines of "what was that? must have been a ghost" which I'm sure was non-subtle big brain racism from a gook who thought a phone was going to crash a 787

"Airplane mode" is a relic from the past, like the floppy disc save icon

>>211684340

Airplane mode is required during flights primarily to prevent potential interference with an aircraft’s communication and navigation systems, which rely on sensitive radio signals. Although the risk is low with modern aircraft, aviation authorities enforce this precaution as part of international safety regulations. Mobile devices, especially when not in airplane mode, emit radio frequencies through cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connections, which could disrupt cockpit instruments or air traffic communication. Additionally, at high altitudes and speeds, phones struggle to maintain stable connections by rapidly switching between cell towers, which can disrupt ground networks and drain device batteries. Enabling airplane mode ensures both onboard safety and network stability, while still allowing for controlled use of Wi-Fi or Bluetooth when permitted during the flight.

It's during take-off and landing

>>211686103
I meant enforced by law. Companies outside the US can just stop with this bullshit if they want to. You literally hear the flight attendant say
>we are entering US airspace so on board wi fi will be shut down as per US law
Not kidding.

EXCUSE ME THOUGH...I SEE YOU FORGOT TO OPEN YOUR WINDOWN THOUGH. WINDOWS MUST BE KEPT OPEN DURING TAKEOFF AND LANDING BECAUSE...THEY JUST DO THOUGH

Im aware this thread is for fun posting but, have you guys noticed if gas stations still have no phone signs?
They atleast had them until quite recently, eventhough it was because of 90's cellphones with extendanble antennas that could cause sparks or some shit.
It was a completely archaic precaution with smartphones, yet they were still around until recently and might still be in place, im just not sure.
Or maybe im just completely misinformed

Forgot to include this pic for relevancy.
