Have you tried powering it off and on again?

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 11 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 12 hours ago)

funny enough, i've got a guy on speed dial who does (my BIL used to be an F35 wrench)

those helmets are really cool. you can see through the plane when you press the right button.

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.

[-] 0x0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 13 hours ago

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

[-] Codpiece@feddit.uk 2 points 5 hours ago

Why would you remove the quality of life update?

[-] RustyShackleford@programming.dev 2 points 7 hours ago

Por supuesto y con gusto.

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 8 points 14 hours ago

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

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 83 points 18 hours ago

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.

[-] savvywolf@pawb.social 9 points 13 hours ago

I'd recommend using an atomic distro. Then if you get shot to pieces you can roll back to a good state.

[-] queerlilhayseed@piefed.blahaj.zone 12 points 16 hours ago

It would be nice to have a distro with some basic flight control drivers preconfigured so we didn't have to build from scratch for every airframe. Maybe wouldn't get the same performance profile as proprietary drivers but something that could get off the ground. It could even be called AvioNix.

[-] kubica@fedia.io 16 points 18 hours ago

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

[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 16 points 17 hours ago

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

"How to remote into F-35"

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago

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

[-] Auth@lemmy.world 7 points 13 hours ago

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.

[-] prettybunnys@piefed.social 2 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

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

[-] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 3 points 14 hours ago

F-35 runs on INTEGRITY-178B

[-] filcuk@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 hours ago

That's cool, looks like it was used by Orion too, although the details are sparse

[-] zqwzzle@lemmy.ca 63 points 18 hours ago

I’d suggest posting on the war thunder forums.

[-] i_stole_ur_taco@lemmy.ca 44 points 18 hours ago

Open one of your Microsoft Outlooks.

I know, I'll try opening this one.

[-] northernlights@lemmy.today 28 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

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.

Hang on, I’ve got a Fedora boot stick on me somewhere…

I’d be so mad if the last thing I saw before plummeting to my fiery death was that stupid smug little sad face and a BSOD

[-] Avicenna@programming.dev 6 points 16 hours ago

just wing it

Blue Screen of ~~Defence~~ War

[-] Phoenix3875@lemmy.world 5 points 15 hours ago

Try Shift + Right Stick…sorry that's the launch missile button.

[-] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online 8 points 18 hours ago

Use the Emergency Override as mentioned in the Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II User Manual, should be one in the glovebox under the pistol, or in the F35B under the seat, then aim towards military controlled open test land, turn down the cow pie, hit the engine switch, and eject. If no NATO controlled land is nearby then aim for something really hard or try to coast by until you find some.

The plane is gone but its data will live forever.

[-] emotional_soup_88@programming.dev 7 points 18 hours ago

Just call customer support. They even supplied you a QR code. What's your problem?

[-] etchinghillside@reddthat.com 7 points 18 hours ago

Is the middle hoop for holding the fleshlight?

[-] rtxn@lemmy.world 10 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

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.

[-] FordBeeblebrox@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago

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.

[-] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 4 points 17 hours ago

Pull that yellow and black thing. You can be sure the problem will not happen again.

[-] nate3d@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago
[-] hexagonwin@lemmy.today 4 points 18 hours ago

bro just press ctrl alt del and reboot it

[-] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 2 points 16 hours ago

Land it in Tehran, they have technicians there who can help.

[-] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

Delete system32

[-] desmosthenes@lemmy.world 2 points 16 hours ago

they do use linux LynxOS-178

[-] LiveLM@lemmy.zip 1 points 16 hours ago

What a beautiful picture though. Anyone know the source?

[-] forrgott@lemmy.zip 1 points 17 hours ago
