You might want to give this a read, then re-read my original post. I never said there wasn't a backdoor, just that it would be stupid.

That's not what I said, at all.

PS - I work in InfoSec (CISSP). Please tell me more about what I've been doing for past 20 years lol

I really need to re-watch that show. But I can't stand all of the useless bickering lol

BAE Systems (in the UK) has full F-35 manufacturing capabilities. The Brits could tell them to toss it any day now and I wouldn't be surprised, with the way things are going.

“then we’ll, unfortunately, know what the impediment is to peace here.”

Like we didn't already know that (see: Russia's initial invasion). But facts and reason don't matter to these clowns.

Not a fan of speculation and we're likely to never see any official documentation, considering it's a military aircraft.

But I will say: If it is true, it's probably the dumbest thing you could do to an advanced fighter like this. Just imagine that you're in a conflict, then the enemy hacks your command and control systems and disables/hijacks all of your aircraft. Yeah, that's pretty dumb.

Even the Star Trek writers realized this sort of thing is a bad idea.

Gay people can be gullible and naive too. Nobody said they were perfect.

I was tired and it felt ranty after reading it back. Was also super off-topic. So I just deleted it.

Personally I just check the AP every morning and watch PBS News Hour over dinner if it's on. But I will poke around on Hacker News and NewsNow if I'm bored, which does have an option to check multiple sources like you mentioned (it's the stacked orange squares thing next to every headline). Both are 100% free.

And +1 for Ars Technica, I see them writing about right to repair a lot. Which I'm a huge supporter of.

Those were just examples, I wasn't trying to limit the scope, hence the "etc. etc." bit at the end. My point was to verify for yourself. Statements and events can be verified in their own ways. Such as video footage or the minutes recorded during government hearings.
