A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

At this point, it’s just a tradition
This Steam user has done an admirable job of compiling the eight confirmed and three possible prior leaks
There's literally a wikipedia page for it.
Damn. I thought #kbin was where the cutting edge of information dissemination was, but #warThunder has a whole #wikipedia page dedicated to how it's absolutely crushing it. Who knew #MMORPGs were the future?!
For those who haven't witnessed anything re. information classification or the functioning of militaries or governments or other great organs of state, I refer you to the screenwriter Jonathan Lynn's words immortalised by the character Sir Humphrey in Yes, Minister:
"The Official Secrets Act is not to protect secrets but to protect officials"
I regret deeply I cannot remember which episode. I also refer you to Yes, Prime Minister s02e02 (dailymotion link) which illustrates something about leaks, and their investigation and prosecution. Not to mention how the #press works in promulgating these things! I really can't recommend it highly enough.

(boosts are most welcome, as I suspect most folks give little thought to such things beyond snap-judgements of 'right' or 'wrong')
But still no pictures of it, so they use, what, an F15 pic?
Was there anything interesting in this one?
Restricted plane documentation is laughable considering billions, if not trillions, of public tax dollars go into paying for the R&D of these planes. If the public has access to the documentation you can guarantee it’s in a rival nation’s treasure trove already.
