The heads up display isn’t something you see in front of you like most planes. The helmets are the heads up display, like augmented reality.
There are cameras all over the plane to help you see through the aircraft (see ground targets through the floor, nearby aircraft through your wing). Think of the resolution and bitrate needed to make it useful!
Just like how an apache gunner can simply look at a target to aim the gun at them you can do the same thing. And if you can’t hit it it’s still marked for every allied plane in the airspace to see. If you are out of missiles but you are tracking an enemy plane miles ahead, you can send the data to an F-15 miles behind you and let their missiles lock and fire from farther than they can engage alone.
With that in mind the radar is awesome letting it see threats from greater distances than the opposition, with the stealth capabilities good enough to keep them from easily doing the same.
I’m sure there are other surprises too, but the military obviously wants to keep those a secret
We will never know the full scale, because that’s classified, but there are some details that we do know, and some that are reasonably safe to assume.
Sensor systems better than anything else fielded (confirmed due to the high cost of one particular part needed for an IR tracker and camera)
Teaming possibility with other planes where one plane detects and another plane fires
Exceptional radar
An unknown quantity of EW capabilities
In addition to this, I’d like to point out a major difference between US arms industry and that of russia: US capabilities are usually understated. Russian ones are usually either overstated, or only possible in the most ideal set of circumstances.
By telling users to change their mindset, by showing em how control is important and how the “just werks” mentality imposed by Microsoft is more detrimental than anything.
“Just works” is not a mentality imposed by Microsoft, and has nothing to do with loss of control. It’s simply (a consequence of) the idea that things which can be automated, should be. It is about good defaults, not lack of options.
tiktok is in legal trouble for a totally different reason. They are collecting vast amounts of US citizen data and allowing the Chinese full access to it (which they made use of)
If you appreciate autonomy, avoid MacOS. Their whole business model is to suck you into their technological ecosystem. The fact that their stuff works in any way outside of their expensive, walled garden is unintentional.
Judging from my own doctors experience, they are way overbooked. Can’t get a personal experience when they gotta see a couple dozen more people the same day.
