Switched to arch linux last november, didn’t had to launch my backup VM Win10 at all. I even managed to play at StarCitizen with better performance than under Win 10…
Just wow the progress of Linux, Wine & co since my last linux try (Ubuntu, around 2010).
I just need now to find a linux way for my music stack and all the VST (my steinberg usb card is recognized and play properly oO) and Windows will be history at home…
Well, we could argue than having everyone in the same building is also a risk (traffic/weather issues could block all operators to come for example).
So having operators dispatched in several towns with probably multiple Internet providers could reduce this risk. In case of real big crisis, I agree it’s better to have everyone at voice reach, in the same room.
But, while a global internet outage could be a real risk for operators at home, having everybody able to join from everywhere can mitigate that.
And in case of a global internet disruption (another big risk that could happen), well classic mobile users would have also issues to contact 911 as lot of 4G/5G towers use internet instead of internally owned network to transmit our calls and data (the old copper landline disappear more and more).
Note that I agree with yours points too, their is pro and cons everywhere :-)
We have 2 types of Police here.
The town police (Police municipale) usually not armed with lethal weapons as they manage local issues (theft, “ligth” violence like neighbors conflicts, noise complaints, familyconflicts… this kind of stuff… very local ). Some can be armed but it’s quite rare and with restrictions. You have a little group of policemen per town. Mine have 3 guys for around 10k people and last time i saw one, he was asking details about a neighborhood dog who was making lots of noise…
And we have the National Police (Police Nationale), who manages bigger threats like murder, dealers, kidnapping, car accidents with fatalities, etc… usually in medium to big towns. All have lethal weapons with them and you saw them for more serious and dangerous topics. Their perimeter are mainly in the big towns.
For towns outside big populated areas, we have the military equivalent of national police: the Gendarmerie (with their best elements in the gign for very serious threats and interventions). Same mission than Nationale Police, they also do prevention topic (car speed controls, alcohol tests…) but their perimeter is all the territory.
You’re not gun scientist rigth… but what’s your opinion on the gun control today? Do you think the current situation is ok? If so, why America is so different than other countries regarding the number of death by gun ?
What is your opinion on guns and only guns today ? (because you didn’t take a position at all. It’s acceptable if you’re a child but not if you’re an adult)
Honestly even the as-is directX with Wine is already quite good. With Vulkan, game over :-)
