The AOA DISAGREE was never intended to be optional, that was a bug due to miscommunication between Boeing and the avionics manufacturer, if the congressional report is to be believed. Only the persistent numeric AoA indicator was optional

I'm not sure what you mean? The only reason jailbreaking is possible is because it's a security flaw. A secure device can't be jailbroken, and we should all have secure devices. Regardless, this is far from a sure thing, open

No, I'm saying they should be forced to give me access to run the code I want to run on the device I bought from them. Ford can't geofence my Bronco to only drive to stores that pay them off, why should Apple be allowed to enforce

A jailbreak is not something Apple (or whoever) allows, it's a (serious) security vulnerability being exploited to gain root level permissions on the device and then circumvent whatever checks are in place. These are things that shoul

It seems like a fundamental right that I should have full control of a device which I own outright. That control, over something I paid for and ostensibly 'own' will be used against me, as in the case of App Store cuts and digit

I don't see why game consoles or anything else should be exempt from 'on a computer' rules. What it boils down to in my opinion, is that you own the device, and the company that built it should be required to give you all the

Personally I think so. Type certifications should expire after some reasonable time, and require a full re-certification under current rules and with current design review practices. I think this would also have other benefits, by discourag

In the MCAS case the 'optional' component was an AoA display available to the pilots. Due to a misunderstanding about the design intent, planes without this option also did not display an AOA DISAGREE alert if the sensors disagree

I'd be surprised if an urban PON deployment was passive over such a long distance. It's theoretically possible, but the economics generally don't make sense, since each fibre strand can only support 32-64 customers each witho

If you want to experiment with FPGA, the Lattice iCE40 series is a good starting point. It's not super capable (but will be more than enough for your project), but it was one of the first with a solid open source toolchain and has a st

If you want to do it in the digital domain, FPGA is the obvious choice to go with here. It'd be difficult to get enough channels connected to a 'custom' design any other way, but yes the learning curve will be steep if you go

They can't prevent you, because that would violate the GPL. However I'd say getting your subscription revoked as a penalty means it is not 'allowed'. The intent of the GPL to allow distribution to third parties seems pre
