Herb, are you too young to remember Tom Lehrer?

If so, what are you doing reading a post about the Seniors?

Watch the video and find the this is the next line in the lyrics about a post-apocalyptic radioactive future.

This question was asked about the 2015 Senior Soaring Championships

There is a contest in the early part of March Seniors in Florida approx. 65 glider

If the new update is out will there be a problem if some have the update and some don't.

Flarm Response:


Yes, you are correct, that would be a problem. Devices with the old firmware cannot communicate with the new firmware. From the next firmware release, we will make sure that the protocol changes automatically at the changeover date. Unfortunately that was not possible for this update.

For this contest, I would recommend that nobody updates their devices until after the contest.

Charlie Papa: making racial remarks is not OK and definitely not funny.
I predict there will be more than one contestant showing up at the Seniors with an updated PFlarm. What then, you can't un-ring that bell. But wait, that's really not a problem. The update takes around 5, at most 10 minutes. All you have to do is insert the memory stick with the correct file into the rectum of your unit, turn it on and wait. Why are we making such noise about it?
