General GunTuber thread

Have only watched a bit of this but it's enough to know DeviantOllam has some really retarded takes. May induce an aneurysm.

.
Rittenhouse was raised by a single mother, who went back to school and trained as a nursing assistant. They were evicted multiple times, and at one point lived in a refuge before she was finally able to stabilise things.

Ollam describes Rittenhouse as a white middle class kid, just like him, however Kyle is a "shitty kid".

Fuck Karl for associating with this guy.

You have to remember, in the minds of woke leftoids, pale skin means you get a free job and healthcare from the government and a lifetime pension just for existing. Their MKULTRA-tier, self contradictory ideology is incapable of mapping to any true cause and effect.
 
Also consider the typical military rifle. It's probably 20+ years old, has had dozens of not very careful owners. It's issued to say a Vehicle Mechanic who deploys on a 3 week exercise and has to drag the rifle with him everywhere while he's actually doing a job spannering.
That's a really good point. You'd think the US military would buy new rifles but there are guys going to the middle east with guns as old as they are.

Unless there's some kind of political pressure to change, the military tends to operate on a "don't fix what ain't broken" basis, since buying new shit costs money. For example, until recently the light switches on our a lot of our vehicles were basically the same as the ones used in WWII.

What a fucking idiot. I don't even know where to start, all I can say is that if you fall on the side that wants to censor and punish people because of their beliefs then you need to suck off a shotgun.
 
Up until very recently Nuke silos still utilized Floppy disks.
That's less due to "don't want to upgrade" and more due to "if we upgrade, we take critical infrastructure offline for X days and this is not ok." It's the same reason they still used IBM mainframes in some large businesses well into the 2010s. Service interruptions were considered more detrimental than the inefficiency of old technology.

You're correct, But I wanted to bring up a (albeit not entirely accurate) comparison.

Doesn't the B2 also run on an Apple II or some shit?
A lot of warplanes run on dated OS 's but that's more of a matter of not wanting to deal with potential security risks upgrading with no benefit or upgrades to capabilities. It's like machinery on assembly lines using OS's that are out of date but only need to run a simple program all day so no one ever updates them.
 
For aircraft you have to separate hardware and software as they are on different upgrade paths. Unlike the F-22 which Lockheed wanted dead, other military aircraft like the F-15 have been getting their older computer hardware replaced with newer sets.

If I'm not mistaken, most aircraft are still on floppies, military and commercial.
Military? Yes. Although it depends on the plane and the military for the same reason as commercial planes.

Commercial? Depends where you're at, it really isn't uncommon in many areas of the world to have twenty, thirty, forty, or even fifty year old planes still flying around since planes are just built like that and if the work is done properly they just keep going. However most aircraft will be occasionally updated and refurbished assuming the manufacturer keeps supporting that model and the operator has the money and the time/inclination to do the updates and refurbs. Although basically any plane built within the past ten years or so is gonna follow the stand ard hardware of that era and any planes made in the last five years or so are gonna have wifi cloud and all that other good shit.

Lockheed got fucked on the F-22. Rumsfeld, Cheney, McCain and Gates made sure the project got kneecapped even though the USAF was begging to let them have at least 300-something of them. With only around 170 of them around it's more expensive to do upgrades. They're still getting one because they'll only get retired with the NGAD is ready.

In one episode of the fighter pilot podcast the guest said that F-15s still used magnetic tape data cartridges. But this might have been for the F-15Cs and not the Es.

Since the current conversation isn't really about slotting floppies, my favorite cringe-creators have some new diversity hires:


But that isn't what makes them loltubers; this shit does:

Edit: I've watched this last one a couple times, and there are so many things wrong with it. The guy has definitely been fellating cops for far too long, along with being stuck in the 90's. I honestly can't think of anyone in the training business (online or offline) who still insists on heeb-carry.
That there are so many videos which have objectively & exhaustively demonstrated it as being inherently slower and potentially hazardous, should raise serious concerns about the veracity of the rest of their training.

Now I'm legitimately curious as to what would happen if someone paid for one of their pistol classes, but refused to train as if they're carrying condition 3. I suspect one would immediately be cut from the course & lose their deposit, but it's very tempting to call them & ask (as a potential customer).

It was both as Lockheed had been very public about having a limited number of the chipsets long before the F-22 even entered production. Plus Lockheed was more interested in selling the F-35s and the F-22s was tying up their production lines.

I had no idea the chipsets were that much of a limiting factor before the orders were even cut. Retiring without a single air to air kill, good night sweet prince.

The funniest thing is how the stereotypical boomercon just uncritically accepts outdated doctrine because the Israelis did it. No, it's not the fact that they essentially had European refugees handling a mix of firearms with different manuals of arms and it was difficult to make them all safe and trained with them. It's because it's "tactical".

I really wish some /k/tard saved their old videos. Theres a real fun one where they make an applicant tiptoe accross steel beams collecting clay shooting plates and he falls spilling his whole collection everywhere

That’s not exactly true. The DoD’s agency DISA plays a huge role in making sure systems are accredited and up to date on approved patches. For dated and discontinued software they will patch it to its final patch if the patch is proven secure. Generally DISA won’t drag its heels about patching unless there is an opinion that the patch would be detrimental.

For deployed military aircraft avionics, a lot of systems run dated software simply because they have dotcom era single board computers with processor architectures that are obsolete since the cost of upgrade said avionics costs too much and the current implementation works. For example, the F22 uses SPARC processors in its radar processor since Raytheon designed the hardware in the 90s. Congress won’t approve updating that aircraft if the Radar system still works right (especially that processor box). Getting stuff deployed in the DoD is expensive and tends to be slow due to laws written for the acquisition process. The software engineers I have met in defense usually lament they can’t use the latest stuff Silicon Valley gets to use because everything deployed is old and by the time the requirements for something new are written and approved the approved software is already dated.
