It doesn't have a kill switch

Yeah it's more like a life support plug.

Oops, turns out your purchased 100 million dollar jet aircraft is uh, reliant on DRM to function, guess you should have read the fine print.

Soon enough we will be torrenting cracked F35 software from TPB.

[–] sp3tr4l@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 week ago

... It's probably a good thing the F35 is not in Warthunder.

The US is gaslighting us.

lmao it absolutely has kill switches. And I all but guarantee they go beyond the already onerous ecosystem and software demands.

I'd wager some of the kill switches go below software and are hardwired in at the chip level.

Killswitch, definitely not.

The ability to upload a software patch that bricks the plane, maybe. The critical question will be whether the owner of the F-35 can control (i.e. block) software updates, and also whether there's a software backdoor to allow access in.

I'd give it better than a 50% chance of being accessible.

Hey now. To my knowledge, Teslas do not fall apart in the rain.
