    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.

    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

    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.

      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

      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.

    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.

    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.
