10G / KLM Seat Review

Aircraft: Boeing 777-300
Class: Economy Comfort
Flight: KL0708 AMS - TPE
Power: no
USB: no
AVOD: yes

You know, I thought this was going to be comfortable. It looked great on the cabin seat map: aisle access, right at the aft of the plane, behind World Business Class, bulkhead ahead to stretch my legs.. I was wrong! The seat was narrow because of the armrest stowed tray and there was less legroom than the next row behind. Therefore I moved to 11G for the remainder of the flight, only complaining about the equipment box underneath 10G.

“Trueplay. It’s a new feature coming to the Sonos iOS app that will make your old speakers sound better through calibration, and it works really well. You’ll be asked to wander around your room keeping your iPhone or iPad vertical while waving it slowly up and down. At the same time, all the speakers in your room will be outputting some odd sounds, perhaps best described as what I thought a space battle would sound like when I was 5. The microphones in your device will pick up all these pew pews, and then the software analyzes what frequencies are being distorted by your furniture.” - Engadget

“The amount of taper for molded parts perpendicular to the parting line is what’s called draft in engineering. What that means is every single plastic object you own *does not* have a perfect 90 degree angle on its facets, they’re all a just a little angled. Yes, when you learn this you can’t un-see it and it’s jarring.”
