By "modernizing" they mean making it equivalently fragile and flaky to such modern wonders as Github and Microsoft 363?

Great first impression from a technical company
Ahh, these frigging guys...
So I bought a Fortigate firewall on ebay some years back for a lab device, I password recovered it to break in and recover it, and it came up registered to them, and still under Enterprise license support for like 6mo. Great, that's exactly what I wanted for a lab device! I looked them up to see they were a defense contractor, ok, so more money than brains. I'll take advantage...
That 6mo came and went, and they renewed the support on it for another year, and my firewall saw the entitlement. Even better, I continued to use it. After 4 years finally the device went EOL/EOS and expired with no more support available, I was sad.
Obviously these guys are fsckheads, more money and contracts from friends in high places than brains. This totally explains why the air system melted down!
I guess it’s technically a statement, even though it says nothing.
> L3Harris takes the nationwide ground stop and its impact on travelers, airlines and air traffic operations seriously.
Thank goodness
I mean they could have taken it humorously I guess.
Oh, these are defense contractors, that explains a lot about this non-statement.
I had thought the L3 was from Level 3 Communications and Harris, but its actually L3 Technologies which seems to be a holding company for defense contractors.
FYI, CenturyLink bought Level3 something like 10 years ago and then re-branded as Lumen during COVID.
personal perspective- L3X has repeatedly demonstrated a corporate culture of accountability allergy. spiderman meme was made for L3. I think it goes up and down the chain
This is standard practice for basically all defense contractors. I don't think there's hardly any of them that strive for excellence, just for next year's contract.
Very surprised because I know several fellow alumni that went on to do extremely technical low level "frontier level" work there. Due to the secret nature of their operations, what they literally do day to day is an angle I don't know much about so maybe its all nonsense but I don't get that feeling.
I'm glad they're taking this seriously
I kinda wish they'd take it "very seriously". Corporate communications generally take issues "very seriously". The fact that they're only taking it "seriously" makes me wonder if they're really taking it seriously or not.
Its like the people who are 101% committed dont sound as committed as the people that are 200% committed.
