edit: just occurred to me. I should try to script my connectivity, so the connection is established just before the software is used, and terminated soon after. Looking into it.

Starting? Like ten years ago they started and now it's in nearly every plane.
I'm in Europe, and fly 4-5-6 times a year. It's only in the last 5 years that you're allowed have electronic devices turned on in planes here.

I'm finding this harder to do sometimes. So if I go to this page (Disconnect. Offline only) and view source, I see a link to a js file. No matter where I go with this, I can't fin…
