so its sortof like yes they know to demand everything that goes onto the machine

so people haven't been able to catch up

but their ability to evaluate that

is lacking

yeah thats the main issue

things are moving way too fast for the military

they have kindof just been going along for centuries now

then suddenly they are in this like

psychadelic horror show

and they just

dont even know whats going on

once they go through the paperwork to adopt new tech, by the time it's finished there is already something twice as advanced out there

if not more so

its not that they are fundamentally not capable in terms of hardware

they arent going to get massacred per se

but its getting way ahead of them in some ways

some military computers are running on VERY outdated OS and using some sketchy fucking protocols

well

yes ill just uniequivocally agree

ive seen an f-18 MFD on youtube

and its like

are you joking me mate

lmao

I do like that they try to create internal OS though

doing that prevents attackers from easily discovering exploits

its true

its also relatively simple so its not like total horror show in terms of security

you dont have like USB peripherals that just execute arbitrary code under the right conditions

it's just hard for them to do it right because a lot of people that are on those teams aren't familiar with how to create newer systems

wont deny that

hardware is no problem for them

they have engineers for days

but software is a weak spot

tech jobs are hard to get without a lot of work experience

so by the time they are qualified for those positions, their education is outdated

yeah

tech is eating its own tail quite a lot at the moment

'well its expensive to take in new guys'

'better only hire experienced people'

'oh god there are no experienced workers'

'HOLD THE LINE WE WILL NEVER HIRE A GRADUATE'
