The 1287 Chateau de'Champignon has a lot of flavor, you can really taste the feet.

A camera wouldn't have prevented anything, it would only make blame slightly easier.
Blame isn't necessarily the important thing for the outcome of an investigation. It is important to determine fault for the sake of preventing future failures. Did the crew flip the wrong switch, or did the system change state without the crew doing anything? Is there a training issue, or an overwork issue, or design flaw, or a maintenance problem?
You can't answer these questions without knowing the sequence of events prior to the failure, and the flight recorder data that shows a system state change might not be enough if you can't determine how or why that change happened.
Yes, but it might be very important to determine: did the pilot/copilot flick the switch, or did the switch change state without user input?
Is the crew at fault (training issue/operator error) or is the manufacturer at fault (design flaw) or was the ground crew at fault (improper maintenance)?
A camera could help determine that, if it had the right field of view.
OK, so what is a VPN?
A Virtual Private Network is a virtual network that lives on top of a physical network. In the case of the Internet, basically what happens is that your network traffic goes into the VPN on one side and comes out of the VPN provider's network somewhere else, rather than out of your ISP's network. All this really does is move any privacy concerns from your ISP to your VPN, which may or may not protect you from any legal inquiries.
For a more thorough explanation look here: https://www.howtogeek.com/133680/htg-explains-what-is-a-vpn/
Is it possible to use torrent without a VPN?
Certainly, however your torrent traffic will be visible to and inspectable by your ISP. If a copyright holder chooses to, they may sue your ISP for the personal information of the person whose IP address matches the illegal traffic that they found. After they have your personal information they can prosecute you directly. A VPN might shield against this by changing the apparent IP address associated with your torrent traffic, but then you are at the mercy of the VPN provider and the government of whichever country they operate in.
It should be noted that if you are not paying the bill for the Internet, and you use it for illegal activity, then the person you are putting at risk is the person who pays the bill. It's their name attached to the ISP records.
If you are caught, or if they just don't like torrent traffic on their network, the ISP may decide that you are simply too much trouble and it's not worth keeping you as a customer, and just cut off your service (for your whole house).
Umm, but then your VPN leads to a server rented from a web host which you are paying with (presumably) a credit card, and if they're reputable at all then you had to register with a government ID. The ones that don't check ID are the ones that host ransomware gangs and CSAM distributors.
A VPN provides no privacy at all if it's linked to an IP address or domain name and hardware that is registered to you.
It seems weird to compare successful launch systems with ones that never flew, as if they were somehow equivalent:
However, each of the four attempts to launch an N1 failed in flight, with the second attempt resulting in the vehicle crashing back onto its launch pad shortly after liftoff.
Energia flew successfully in both attempts, but died with the collapse of the USSR:
SLS has only launched once and will probably get cut before anything more than Block 1 flies:
The first (and so far only) SLS launch was the uncrewed Artemis I, which took place on 16 November 2022.
Starship has had several successful launches of Block 1 but none of Block 2 yet:
Long March 9 and 10 are both still in development and have not seen any test launches, though theoretically CZ-10A will fly next year:
The first planned launch of NGLV (the base model, not the super heavy) is still 6 years away:
And Yenesei probably only exists on paper:
The final design for the rocket was expected to be complete by autumn 2021, but the program appears to have been paused or stopped just before this expected completion date.
In 2024, it was announced that the project will resume in 2025.
The first launch was expected to happen in 2033 from the Vostochny cosmodrome.
I'm guessing graft has eaten most of this project's funding.
The only thing in this image that is actually operational is the Falcon Heavy:
Everything else is either history, or aspirational.
Peter Dinklage would like a word...
I mean... it really doesn't take much to get people on the left to turn on each other. It's kind of a historic problem with leftist ideological groups in general - they're awfully quick to declare each other the wrong type of leftist, or not leftist enough, and then refuse to cooperate.
There certainly are outside provocateurs, but I wouldn't leap to that conclusion in every occasion. Hanlon's razor applies.
