  • It would have been a perfectly acceptable thing to say (in my opinion) if he didn’t follow up by saying the suspected shooter certainly appears to be one of them.

    The original statement makes sense that the person who’s job is to govern an area hoped it wasnt one of the people he represented.

    Then when he made the second comment, it all fell apart because being one of them apparently meant they could still be a Utah resident. So he was only representing a subset of the Utah population, and therefore breaking his Oath of office.


  • I wonder how much better psychiatric institutions could be if they were set up in a manner where patients could go willingly and have their expenses paid while they were there and jobs protected like a pregnancy leave or something. The way our system is now no one goes until they have completely snapped or lost it and I’m sure some of that is likely tied to our lives being overwhelming controlled by money. Like if everyone had mental health leave of at least 30 days a year, and they could go to a place and talk to a therapist/psychologist or other professional for free, have warm meals, a safe place to sleep in a controlled environment to monitor them and help them, maybe the amount of people who actually “lose it” would drop drastically.

    Some would say “the number of people in mental institutions have sky rocketed because they are lazy just trying to milk off the system”

    But really the number of people who kill themselves, drive a car through crowd of people, or shoot someone… May drop drastically as well.

    Healthcare is an investment in a happy/healthy society.



  • Well the officers will have to release they body cam footage right?.. wait they aren’t officers, and they don’t have body cams… And there will be no case for the investigation because they murdered them. Chicago’s police are required to wear them, and are required to use them. The cameras are actually set to record the 30 seconds prior to them activating them to make sure the officers get everything recorded.

    State prosecutors should just charge these ICE members with manslaughter to force the investigation to occur so they know their citizens aren’t being killed without reason.









  • Citrix does well in those situations. A standard virtual machine image set up for standard users and then seperate images for those that need other apps running off seperate hardware with dedicated GPUs. None of the data needs to pull to the device you are on, and no matter what machine you walk up to, even remotely at home you can access it without even needing a VPN but rather set it up using 2 factor on the login site where only single factor is needed when onsite. So no software is needed on any of the clients you log in from. And the “computer” you are signed into is located on the same network as where you use network drives so it works better than a VPN at accessing the data.

    Someone hops on your machine when you went to lunch, hop on another and have it bring the same desktop you were using up, drive home, same desktop. If set up right it’s nice, if not… There is always struggles for people


  • Makes management simple and slightly more affordable when you need a lot of them. No graphics cards or good CPUs needed on the clients. They are just a remote display with inputs at that point. All the processing is happening on the servers. Instead of buying a $1200 dollar computer to last for 5 years, you buy zero clients for often less than $500 and when the operating system and applications get more demanding you don’t care on the clients, just the back end. Test environments are easier, swap outs are easier. From a management point of view it’s great. From the client user side though it gets limited when it comes to more demanding applications. Sure the graphics cards can perform the tasks needed for video editing, but uploading/downloading/editing videos that are stored on a cloud somewhere would just be a nightmare, so you’d need network storage locally, but even then it still isn’t going to be as useful as just performing it locally on a machine, and having a copy on an external you walk with.


  • Wonder if they are thin clients. I remember setting up some Dell thin and zero clients using Windows for a state college in Florida a few years back. 2019 I think. Everything being forced into OneDrive storage for their personal files, but it made it so they could sit down at any desk, and pull the computer up out of the desk and login and have their crap while it all being very locked down/managed.
