From a software perspective adding a kill switch is needlessly adding a potential vulnerability.
Of course they would test against all imaginable vulnerabilities. It is a weapon after all.
And of course they would make all the needed software tests in a safe environment where the switch doesn't really destroy things.
need spare parts and software updates
As I said, no direct profit from the kill switch. But the possibility of indirect profit: for every destroyed weapon, you cannot sell spare parts anymore, but then there is the potential to sell a new weapon later.
An ESP32 is a powerful thing, but it is also a microcontroller.
They are programmable as soon as you have physical access. They are NOT like whole PC's that you can lock up with passwords etc.
More like a gun that you can fire as soon as you have physical access.
I wonder where the expectation has come from? People seem to think that it should be different than it is.
I am very sure that it is true.
Not only such primitve things as a kill switch - because nobody can make any profit directly from deactivating a device - but also lots of dependencies from the manufacturers and from the Usa, for the supply of ammunition, materials, spare parts etc. The same idea that we know as "vendor lock-in" in lots of consumer products.
But could I
He pardoned them because they worked for him. For him personally.
You can't do that if HE doesn't want you to do that.
Then you would be dead.
Haven't they said that about magnetic tape as well?
Some 30 years ago?
Isn't magnetic tape still around? Isn't even IBM one of the major vendors?

He's trolling you. He's making fun of you.
O.m.g. what a very bad guy.
I am sure he is talking about you to his other friends, and it is not exactly praise then.
