A community for your defence shitposting needs

Rules

1. Be niceDo not make personal attacks against each other, call for violence against anyone, or intentionally antagonize people in the comment sections.

2. Explain incorrect defense articles and takes

If you want to post a non-credible take, it must be from a "credible" source (news article, politician, or military leader) and must have a comment laying out exactly why it's non-credible. Low-hanging fruit such as random Twitter and YouTube comments belong in the Matrix chat.

3. Content must be relevant

Posts must be about military hardware or international security/defense. This is not the page to fawn over Youtube personalities, simp over political leaders, or discuss other areas of international policy.

4. No racism / hatespeech

No slurs. No advocating for the killing of people or insulting them based on physical, religious, or ideological traits.

5. No politics

We don't care if you're Republican, Democrat, Socialist, Stalinist, Baathist, or some other hot mess. Leave it at the door. This applies to comments as well.

6. No seriousposting

We don't want your uncut war footage, fundraisers, credible news articles, or other such things. The world is already serious enough as it is.

7. No classified material

Classified ‘western’ information is off limits regardless of how "open source" and "easy to find" it is.

8. Source artwork

If you use somebody's art in your post or as your post, the OP must provide a direct link to the art's source in the comment section, or a good reason why this was not possible (such as the artist deleting their account). The source should be a place that the artist themselves uploaded the art. A booru is not a source. A watermark is not a source.

9. No low-effort posts

No egregiously low effort posts. E.g. screenshots, recent reposts, simple reaction & template memes, and images with the punchline in the title. Put these in weekly Matrix chat instead.

10. Don't get us banned

No brigading or harassing other communities. Do not post memes with a "haha people that I hate died… haha" punchline or violating the sh.itjust.works rules (below). This includes content illegal in Canada.

11. No misinformation

NCD exists to make fun of misinformation, not to spread it. Make outlandish claims, but if your take doesn’t show signs of satire or exaggeration it will be removed. Misleading content may result in a ban. Regardless of source, don’t post obvious propaganda or fake news. Double-check facts and don't be an idiot.

That keyboard layout is stuff of nightmares

[–] slaacaa 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Somehow all smart TVs have a similar layout, as it wasn’t hard enough to select letters with a remote.

Can you imagine trying to play a game with WASD controls on that?

[–] SaakoPaahtaa 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

At least W and S have been circled for some fucking reason

[–] TootSweet 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I assume the reason is cardinal compass directions. (North, south, east, west. N, S, E, W.)

[–] SaakoPaahtaa 22 points 1 year ago

Yes but you didn't consider the fact I'm dumb as shit so

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

NESW are circled for the cardinal directions

They should have just used a QWERTY keyboard and added and extra N on top for the logical layout of

And why are there two number pads?

[–] PainInTheAES 10 points 1 year ago

Left keypad is for real numbers and the bottom keypad is for imaginary numbers.

Looks like the top one is MCDU. You can do things like type in latitude and longitude coordinates to fly to.

Bottom panel looks like radio tuner, so just for entering radio frequencies and maybe transponder codes.

From other comments it appears this is not a shop. I don't know why ATR would use this design. There are definitely other planes where you can key in radio frequencies into the MCDU.
