I had it happen to me, on a long-haul flight, in business class. I was shocked. I stood up to look at the guy after no-one did anything. I told him that phone speakers "make me gassy" and then he turned it off.

BYD are about to launch an EV that charges from 10 to 70% in 5 minutes. As much as I recoil at a brand called "Build Your Dreams", that is quite compelling. https://www.byd.com/us/news-list/DENZA-Z9GT-to-
