Didn't see that! Boeing fired mid-level executive Keith Cooper to following embarrassing emails.

Boeing faces more fines/litigation in regard to non-disclosure and non-compliance with regulations.

Delays in 737 MAX certification flight may push off Boeing’s goal to win approval by midsummer
The critical flights on the updated Boeing 737 MAX that must be flown by Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) pilots before the plane can be certified again are now unlikely to happen before late April, according to two people familiar with the details.

Not a lot of new updates lately, but I found this article interesting.
The ancient computers in the Boeing 737 Max are holding up a fix
The ancient computers in the Boeing 737 Max are holding up a fix
Boeing took that ethos to heart for the Max, sticking with the Collins Aerospace FCC-730 series, first built in 1996. Each computer features a pair of single-core, 16-bit processors that run independently of each other, which reduces computing power but also keeps a faulty processor from taking down the entire system.
Even by late-’90s consumer tech standards, the FCC-730s were behind the curve. By the time they went to market, Nintendo had already replaced its 16-bit SNES console with the Nintendo 64 (the first game console to use — you guessed it — a 64-bit CPU), and IBM had created the world’s first dual-core processor.
