One notable exception: temperature ranges for electronics. The electronics may be shit, but they will still work when the soldier is an ice popsicle or a roasted piece of meat.
The cheapest possible product that meets the requirements.
This describes most of the Internet. Which, naturally, was a orginally a (D)ARPA project.
that…sounds good?
Unfortunately in this case meets requirements just means it ticks a box. The meme is talking about people thinking military grade is top of the line. Like how the cheapest tire you can buy is legal and meets regulations, but it doesn’t mean it’s good.
The same way building contractors advertise their work with “everything built to code”. Yeah, building code is the bare minimum requirement for something to be legally put on the market. Building to code isn’t a brag. It’s saying “we do everything as cheaply as possible. If we cut any more corners, the house would literally be illegal to sell.”
I guess cheapest to manufacture, but not necessatily cheapest to buy
It’s more like “meets” requirements
And usually it’s specifically functional requirements. Unless it was spelled out, it was considered and or was designed out / shitty to save cash
As someone who works in defence & surveillance as a systems engineer (so by every measure a civilian), I’m still the one on the right… military grade hardware is a fucking nightmare to integrate into larger systems.
I believe you but can you explain why?
Are we getting a schematic of proprietary technology on Lemmy? Let me get my notebook.
No, you’re thinking of the War Thunder forums.
Why are they making a 3rd movie? Pixar needs to stop.
It’s not Pixar, it’s Disney.
Pixar got its animation start when John Lasseter got fired from Disney for promoting CG animation over the traditional hand-drawn animation. He moved over to the Lucasfilm CG studio, which was later renamed “Pixar.”
Through Pixar (after Steve Jobs bought it from George Lucas), Lasseter and his team proceeded to not only revolutionize CG animation, but to create incredible unique stories with it. They were seen as a real competitor to Disney for a while. They only started making sequels when they started collaborating with Disney.
Eventually, Disney realized the money to be made from CG animation, so they bought out Pixar. Now it’s a Disney product and their ideas are bankrupt once again. We don’t get original stories anymore, just a bunch of unnecessary sequels and garbage films that were probably written by AI.
