I have experienced this bug once on my Windows 10. Have yet to experience it anywhere else but will try to (This would be impossible on mobile). The only "requirement" is to not own a laptop.

STEPS:

1. Open browser Tab #1 go to Chronicles in Newspaper open any of the drawers;
2. Open browser Tab #2, go to airport, start flying;
3. Go back to Tab #1, you will still be on the open chronicle;
4. Refresh Tab #1;
5. You just got acces to Stock Market, Viruses and Newspaper while flying even if you do not own a laptop.

Someone could probably check my inventory to see that I have no laptop.

Have a good day!

I am assuming you have a PC in your inventory though? Owning a PC works in the same way as a Laptop and grants you access to all the functionality of a Laptop.

From my knowledge only a laptop grants you acces to the newspaper while flying. Flying being the key word here. A PC will grant you the same services only while on TORN city soil. A laptop will grant you said services both on the ground and while flying.

You can access PC by entering direct link while flying, or by the method you mentioned above. Here's a thread with Ched's confirmation on the same. :)

Mentions: Using PC instead of laptop for travelling

I see. Thank you for your fast response. With this report I think we've even discovered something new. You don't necessarily need to have your PC open in TAB #1. You can just have the newspaper open and it will have the same response. Crazy to think that I can use a PC while flying. Where am I even plugging it? :)

That's an argument for a Suggestion thread I believe. :)

Ched has said that it is fine and as such is a non-issue at present.

Closing the report. Thanks..!!

Just like to point out that there's one more issue where you have the accessibility without owning PC and Laptop and it has been confirmed here. This is why I asked whether you have a PC in the first response.
