  • 'It's Possible to jailbreak F-35 like iPhone', Says Dutch State Secretary of Defense Tuinman

  • I'm not buying any, don't worry.

    But there's several countries involved in building them and they also have schematics. You'd think at least one would have raised alarms by now if there was truly a kill switch.

    The real real kill switch is ALIS access and parts availability. Those two things can ground the planes until a replacement system is developed and parts manufactured.

  • I read a book with a school whose students were all boys whose name started with the letter A. It was literally a requirement.

    I don't remember much but I do seem to recall they had a field trip to a "hole factory" so they got to take various holes as souvenirs.

  • I mean every country that takes delivery of them gets to inspect it really closely. The "kill switch" is that they stop providing you the software for mission planning and shit.

  • That's managed funds, which are costly and don't tend to perform better than index funds in the long term (unless your fund is managed by Warren Buffett). Index funds will by definition take a huge fall because like 30% of the S&P 500 by market cap for an example is heavily AI-invested companies (just a couple of companies at that).

    I've moved all of mine to European and Asian indexes to be less affected when it happens, but since I was using a national pension system fund up till now, it'll take until like May or whatever till the move is complete. So I hope there's no crash before that at least. At least any new payments already go to the funds I've selected rather and can sell on a whim, rather than the old system where the bank chose the exact ETFs and I can only sell/move funds 3 times a year and have to apply for it beforehand.

    But anyone else who's still stuck in that system with a composite fund dominated by US-based index ETFs, will take a massive plunge when it happens.

  • Well everyone's index-based investments will also take a nose dive to be fair. So that's going to be a lot of people's retirement funds set back by several years, maybe a decade.

  • My quit stories are never this good.

    Did have a team lead that kept blocking me from being promoted into a better team (more prestigious in terms of responsibilities despite actually being less stressful, better team lead that negotiates better raises for his subordinates, etc) by simply failing to hire a replacement for me. So eventually I quit and after a while started doing odd jobs for their clients on the side in addition to my day job. They charge about 200 USD an hour, I charge.... Less. But way more than I would get paid by any local companies here in Estonia. And I get things done in 1/10 of the time in terms of turnaround time (not necessarily as huge a diff in hours billed).

  • IF probably works for some people because it reduces food noise for them.

    Anything you can do to reduce food noise allows you to eat less, allows you to lose weight

  • The implication here seems to be that the EU is shitty too, just less shitty. Which I kinda agree with, they try to push through nasty shit like chat control, link tax and whatever. But it's nice to sometimes have human interest ahead of corporate ones still.

  • A good bunch of them also transported into Europe by Russia to try and destabilize the EU. They literally used human beings as a political/economical weapon. Not to absolve the US of any guilt here, but to illustrate how that was kind of an attack from two sides in a way.
