Then let me give you a more extreme example. Firmware in avionics and flight control electronics. The manufacturer releases an update and the customer has to install it to remain airworthy. Why? because the manufacturer knows more than the customer. That is almost always the case.
In the computer world, we're all taught to install firmware updates only if there is a real problem because a large percentage of firmware updates actually brick the hardware or cause other unforeseen consequences.
Nobody taught you that. You pulled it out of your ass so you'd sound officious and get a post on/.
The vast majority of firmware updates work, fix problems and don't brick devices. Much more of this shit that gets by as posts and I'll be begging for Jon Katz to come back.
I know you're just trying to be funny, but it just doesn't work if you know the history. Henry J. Kaiser was a California industrialist who created his empire doing construction. During WWII, he brought mass-production and organizational skills to shipbuilding that allowed him to produce a ship in three days. He created Kaiser Permanente to to provide inexpensive quality health care for his workers.
If you live where they serve. I've had them for 35 years, my daughter was born in their hospital, wife had multiple surgeries. Get the plan with the highest co-pay and then self-fund an HSA account to cover the copay and other things like eyeglasses. About half the price of the mainline insurance companies and no worries about how much the 80/20 costs will bankrupt you. And yes, small business and self-employed plans are available.
The ATT/Microsoft/Motorola DVR sucks giant donkey dicks. You can bet that ATT only wished they could use Tivo technology. We had Uverse installed and ended up using our Tivos downstream of the ATT DVRs, they sucked that bad. The smart thing would have been for ATT to license the Tivo design instead of the locked-down bogus Microsoft design.
Good advice.
I suggest that if ethics drive your life, you reflect on which is more ethical, feeding your family or ratting out your boss. Finding a new job may or may not be doable, and you might find your new job is worse ethicwise than your old one. The one easy thing you can do is write a cya letter. Write a letter describing your concerns, phrase them as opinions and/or suspicions then mail it to yourself. Put it in your desk, unopened, and you have some manner of proof that you tried to do the right thing.

It is not at all clear that they "repaired the Hubble successfully". They performed their jobs well, but we won't know whether the Hubble has been successfully repaired until it is calibrated and producing images.
Aircraft COM receivers are particularly sensitive to cellphone interference. If I forget and leave mine on when I fly, I get a very distinctive da-da-daaa da-da-daaa da-da-daaa every few minutes over the radio. From any cell phone.
Why don't you armchair pilots take some lessons instead of spouting nonsense?
General aviation pilots wear chutes all the time when they do spin training. Spin training is only required for instructors, but many pilots get it anyway. Chutes are required and are most certainly used for it.

As to why they couldn't just boot to linux or a recovery CD and salvage the data....

The Partnerchip? This shit has been going on since at least the early 80's.

Suppose they sequence a specific human's genome. Now they do it again. Will the two sequences be the same?
And after you decompress it, you get 48 and a buttload of fragmented chains.
When the most important specification of a supercomputer is it's power consumption.

Just to pick nits, the proper term is "high speed taxi test".
