It always kind of blew my mind that the military doesn't have their own specialized software/hardware for everything. It's just boomers using civilian consumer-grade shit. I went on Ebay looking for older military surplus laptops for field use and was disappointed. Just a sea of panasonic toughbooks with no hard drive or charging cable. Closest thing I could find were some GPS chart plotters by General Dynamics which was kind of cool. But for the most part it seems like the military just outsources their tech to civilian companies. No comfy military-grade computers that transcend planned obsolescence.Of course the DoD uses VLC media player, what a bunch of plebs. They don't even know how to advance a video frame-by-frame.
I think you have it backwards.It always kind of blew my mind that the military doesn't have their own specialized software/hardware for everything.

Unless there's a better place I should be looking.
tfw i'm nothing but a filthy civilian consoomerI think you have it backwards.
Civilian accessible military technology is outdated military technology. Typically, the technology pipeline is Military -> Commercial -> Consumer. The only military technology you'll get your hands on without actually joining the military is technology already released to the general public.
I just saw the satcom suitcase though and its super comfy indeed. x3 Even if its old, specialized equipment is always pretty dope.tfw i'm nothing but a filthy civilian consoomer
Aliens are Terrors From The DeepAre aliens even aliens? Are aliens fae? Are aliens demons?
you are right. if this stuff become mainstream and recognized by "legitimate" sources (governments, media, etc) the game is over, satan loses.90% of "UFOs" are secret aircraft, fancy helicopters & planes that can go very fast, shoot very hard, whatever. Boring and secretive for mundane reasons.
They'll never host a panel on: DMT entities. Are aliens even aliens? Are aliens fae? Are aliens demons? Remote viewing into space. n-dimensional biogeometry. Astral projection. The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath (implications). Akashic records. The messages recorded by automatic writers. &tc.
