The assumption here is that Boeing is responsible for these.
What exactly does Boeing gain from murdering whistleblowers after the fact? At this point Boeing's reputation is already tarnished and they're already going to be under a microscope, so what does murdering whistleblowers even achieve?
I don't know which sites you use, but Kayak and Google Flights both let you input the number of checked and carry-on bags you're traveling with and include those fees in the comparison.
If they had a ready alternative market they could just do that instead of flipping out over Germany decided what can and can't be imported into their own country.
There are reasons to want your own modem, to avoid overpaying via rental fees, for example, but what security or privacy do you imagine you're getting by buying your own modem?
You're literally plugging it into their network and they can see everything that goes on the pipe whether they are on the LAN side of it or the Cable side.
There's a stronger privacy argument for using your own WiFi access point though.
In my experience, Jira isn't great out of the box but it's pretty good if you take a few hours to understand how to configure workflows, field configurations, forms, and boards.
For example, at my last company I had the development project configured with about a dozen different ticket states, but you created a ticket with a simple form with the title as the only mandatory field but there were optional fields for details and screenshots.
Developers could move a ticket into "in progress" or "can't reproduce". The latter transition showed a form with a mandatory explanation field, and it would automatically get assigned back to the person who created the ticket.
On completing the ticket, the developer has to put in a pull request and can only moves it to the Code Review state and had to pick a different developer to assign it to.
It sounds a bit tedious when you describe it but in practice everyone worked off a board with three or four columns appropriate to their role. They move tickets to the right to advance them or to the left to reject them. There were also automated transitions triggered by things like CI tests, deployment etc.
Children are capable of understanding the difference between pretense and reality.
My 4 year old loves playacting scenes and games from Bluey but he also understands that I'm not an anthropomorphic dog. Or, for that matter that our dog can't do most of the things the dogs on Bluey can.
You can get privacy without paying by not using Facebook. Getting someone to host your pictures and provide you a platform to share them isn't a fundamental right.
