The key thing you’re missing here is that the programming of the ECM pod, the thing that makes the F-35 able to do what it does, the thing it’s just an average 6th gen fighter without, is only done by US personnel.
Even if you could make the entire plane locally, parts wise, the US will not ever give out the pod code. Ever.
Because without it, the plane is worth less than nothing, it’s a liability.
That isn’t possible. Time is as part of space as the other dimensions. Time is distorted by mass, just like space.
You can’t move “purely on the Y axis” any more than you can move “purely on the time axis”, or vice versa.
Off topic: Why is it a new idea that the observed motion of the universe around us is affected by “faster time” in denser areas of space? Why is that not blindingly obvious? Bwuh?
And upon seeing their chance to be the shitter, rather than the shittee, they climb over each other to throw shit.
Most of the human race aren’t worth fucking saving, that much is clear.
Not in my experience.
“Weird Shit” is always a possibility when there’s any power at all in the system. The PSU will keep low level power supplied for a surprisingly long time after being unplugged from the mains. 💛
EHCI (system config) data was corrupt. Possibly from pulling the GPU while the motherboard board still had power (or residual power in caps).
CMOS wipe resets to blank and that data gets rewritten after BIOS runs the “wtf is plugged into me” routines triggered by blank data.
That’d be my guess.
You don’t have to be sneaky, just not fucking miss like the gormless cretin that last tried.
The bloke that told others to “Go die of ass cancer.”
Oh boy, did he ever tempt fate.
Nothing to do with the plastics and their additives building up in our bodies that act on the endocrine system, no sir.
Their loss.
His point, I think, is the line of whataboutist thinking that got the conversation to this point, from the OP.
Orbiting is falling to earth, but going so fast sideways that you miss, forever.
“Nobody gets past Jupiter without becoming part vampire.”
I mean, you’re not wrong… XD
“With a big enough engine you can make a barn door fly.”
What do you think fusion research is?
New disks?
They haven’t made floppies for years now, iirc.
I disagree. You’re pretty on target with that.
The diversity we have as a species is -and always has been- our greatest strength. It means a subset of us can usually do at least “ok” under any given situation.
The same thing is what made some poxy little island able to rule a vast swathe of the planet. The UK took the best of everything it encountered, and added it to it’s own, like the Borg. Of course, like everywhere else that’s run by plutocrats, in an effort to keep us all divided anything “foreign” is currently bad, and to be shunned.
Captive market. Easy prey.
Call it what you want, those with no morals have no boundaries. This is what laws are supposed to prevent, but y’know, the sociopaths have normalised greed and gluttony, and made it the “dream” of a nation.
As I’ve said elsewhere the ECM pod updates can only be done by US staff. Without this week’s pod frequencies to hit the latest radar frequencies, the plane is a liability in the air because of it’s cost.
There is no way the US is going to code “enemy” planes’ ECM.
The F-35 program may well flatline from this upset.
