    Early games expected networks like that found on an advanced networked campus and then had dial up support.
    People now have faster networks. 1000/1000 services for users can be found globally.
    Powerful gaming GPU support is going to be ready. Thats the raison d'etre of any great GPU brand :)
    Windows OS has been game supportive for users and developers for many years now.

    Games will be ready as really smart and creative people can do that design work.

    Games that design around input lag can be created by skilled computer experts selected on merit.
    All a matter of finding creative staff with skill, imagination, math and educational ability.
    Games need to be fun and need to support the networks they will have to work on.
    Put the network conditions in the new game design and see what really smart and very creative people can do.

    The role of data caps will have to be worked around.
    Find a ISP that can support not having data caps.
    No ISP like that? Support new community broadband that can support no data caps.
    The display, CPU, OS, GPU, RAM is ready.
    All that is needed is a great ISP and new games design for streaming.
    New games should not be a problem considering the number of artists and computer experts.

    Let new ISP be innovative and the "series of tubes" will be ready too.

    The streaming side is ready in the US. Content and the computers to stream from.

    The series of paper insulated wireline between the new content and the users computer is the series of tubes that is holding back US game innovation.

    No 1984 books.

    An ad company selects to go full Communist. An ad brand that is compatible with state censorship provisions.

  13. Re:The US will support its friends on Trump Blockade of Huawei Fizzles In European 5G Rollout (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Any nation that rejects a long term US offer of support will not get further access to US intelligence.
    The US is not going to risk methods to work with nations that won't support the USA. Politically, in terms of decades of shared base access.
    Once a nation selects not to work with the USA, then the US will not support that nation.
    What the US gave from any shared base/site globally, the US can stop giving any nation access to.
    The UK was clear on its 1960-1970's Diego Garcia agreement.
    The US was also very clear in the 1970's with the UK on what happens when such agreements are altered.

    1) Most large US cities can pay a lot for a lot of different political projects every year. Why not something good like recycling AC?
    2) Re "no market for it" That is not the problem of the city. Pay to have to sorted and used. Not everything a city will do will make a profit.
    3) Then why not do recycling on what is not "mixed plastics"? Metal, glass, composted organic waste? Thats a start for now.
    4) A city can find money for all kinds of political ideas? Why not the most simple of ideas, a city paying for site preparation costs and doing some recycling?
    Where is the city money going every year? That could pay for some new recycling efforts?

    Re "It would be disclosing facts"
    Has any nation ever talked openly about its actual spy methods?
    All the US has to do tell the EU governments what will be needed for them to keep US secrets safe.
    If EU nations can't meet that then the US no longer has to share its intelligence with any EU nation.
    The US does not have to talk in the open or "demonstrate" in any way what it understands is a risk to US methods.

    Why does the US need to risk its own intelligence to provide evidence to nations that are been given US intelligence?
    Thats a US tax payer funded collection of data given to EU nations.
    The US can set limits on who and why any nation gets US intelligence support for any reason.
    TO grant more access. To totally stop access. The US gets to set the terms as its their risk and their global collection.
    Why should the US have to talk about any "evidence" in the open?
    Thats a security risk to US methods and ability.
    That can happen in a secure gov to gov setting.
    No nation would talk about mil/gov "evidence" in then open for any reason.

    Evidence relating to mil and security matters is what historians request approval to write about in about 50 years.
    Should EU governments still select to go Communist, they can.
    The US can then select to share its intelligence with nations that are more secure and much more response to actually keeping US secrets.

    When a nation is sharing its own intelligence it can give any advice it wants to nations getting that intelligence.

  19. Got that money to look after NATO and an expanded global BND collection?
    The UK will have to find the money for the GCHQ to replace what the US no longer gives.
    Maybe France can be asked to risk its own spy networks to help?
    A new EU wide tax to pay for spying?
    How much more new tax can be extracted to pay for new mil/gov/spying in each EU nation?
    NATO still needs to be supported every year too :)
    Got the budget growth for some new global spying?

  20. The UK and Germany will have to find some support for their security services after the US alters the mil/gov sharing of raw intelligence.
    They can collect their own intelligence globally with no new mil spending?

    Re "Also note that a lot of the data-taps are on EU (or British) soil"
    That would be on US base sites. No non US staff would be allowed near such collection once the US removed EU access.
    The site of US collection would not change. EU/NATO and UK gov/mil access to the data collected would be stopped.
    The positive effect would be to nations that stayed with the USA and that the US can trust.
    Re 'hugely preferably to not have that data" that would not be good news for the GCHQ, BND.
    They would have to put in a budget request to totally replace all US data sharing.
    Got a global mil budget to replace what the US tax payer once offered?

    The USA kept West Germany and now Germany safe for decades.

    Re BND https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... Note the US origins and support.

  25. Re AC " You still need our intelligence in return"
    What from? French, German and UK HumInt?
    Most nations that can spy can detect other nations HumInt attempts.
    Embassy staff, tourists, think tank workers, NGO workers, charity workers, people trying to proselytize will not offer the perfect cover once expected.
    Thats what real time US collected intelligence is always so wanted by the EU nations.
    HumInt cant cover everything and most EU nations do not have the mil budgets for their own global real time HumInt.
    The US was what covered for the most nations mil budgets and lack of any global HumInt ability.
    Ask France to share its collection globally and risk its collection when sharing with all of the EU?
