    Just install linux bro, it’s not that difficult. You’ll have to compile the F-35 drivers from source, but that’s just the cost of having a reliable system.

      Wouldn’t it be handy to have a *Live*USB at hand?

        The pilot should check if that yellow striped cable is a lanyard for a USB.

      It seems like they’d already be running Linux. I thought the joke of the post is that no aircraft engineers would ever trust those systems with a Microsoft trash OS

        They are probably running a custom embedded operating system for small size and real time scheduling. While linux is capable of that now its support and implementation is still iffy.

        Well NASA apparently does… for some weird reason.

          Yeah. 😭

          Although I’m doubtful that their flight /navigation computers rely on windows. The issue they had was getting email so it may just be laptops for email and browsing that run that shit

      The f35, and most weapons systems, are *nix based, and typically Linux these days.

    Simultaneously press the “launch sidewinder” button and F9 after turning the plane off and on mid-flight. Try not to aim at a place where people live. Then run “sfcscan /now” and kindly report back to me about the same.

    Once it’s in safe mode, just remove the en-US pack and install one of the European cultures instead. Gets rid of ads, but you might lose copilot too and I don’t know if that’s a good thing in this situation.

      No, you got it completely wrong. The first thing to do is remove the French language pack with rm -fr /.

      Don’t worry it’s a single seater, if you’re hearing voices behind you that’s a different kind of problem.

      Looks like the ejector switch. Imagine trying to scratch your balls mid-mission and immediately shooting out of the plane pulling break-your-fucking-spine Gs.

        Better than ripping your arms off cause they’re sticking out, it’s put there to make you tuck your shoulders in but pilots who’ve ejected do have measurable spinal compression.
