Трёхмерная реконструкция аварий на трассе А-7: Патерна, Пикассент и Торрент

The operation "Exit" in Valencia province led to three simultaneous accidents on the A-7 highway, causing over six kilometers of traffic congestion. Accident analysts utilize three-dimensional documentation, including digital photogrammetry and laser scanning (LiDAR), to accurately capture collision points and vehicle trajectories. This data helps determine liability and structural deficiencies. The 3D models created allow for the calculation of impact speeds and simulation of vehicle interactions. Additionally, these technologies enable predictive simulations to test modifications for traffic management and improve safety measures, ultimately aiming to reduce accident rates on busy corridors.

How to disable Hyper-V for Windows 11

Microsoft's Hyper-V is a hardware virtualization platform integrated into Windows 11 Professional, Enterprise, and Education editions, allowing users to host multiple virtual machines (VMs) on a single computer. It operates using a type 1 hypervisor directly on hardware, enabling VMs to share resources like CPU, memory, and storage. Hyper-V includes features such as dynamic memory allocation, software-defined networking, and saved checkpoints. IT administrators may need to disable Hyper-V due to compatibility issues with third-party virtualization software, high-precision applications, or driver conflicts. Disabling Hyper-V can also affect security features reliant on it, such as virtualization-based security (VBS) and Device Guard. Methods to disable Hyper-V include: 1. Using the Windows Features dialog. 2. Executing a PowerShell command: Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V-All, HypervisorPlatform, VirtualMachinePlatform. 3. Running a DISM command:

dism /Online /Disable-Feature /FeatureName:Microsoft-Hyper-V-All /FeatureName:HypervisorPlatform /FeatureName:VirtualMachinePlatform

. 4. Using the bcdedit command: bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off. 5. Modifying Group Policy to disable VBS. 6. Editing the Windows Registry to disable VBS or Credential Guard. For multiple managed computers, administrators can create and execute a PowerShell script or use Group Policy Objects to streamline the process. Testing in a controlled environment is recommended to ensure desired outcomes without compromising security or functionality.

I tested Windows 11 LTSC in 2026, and it’s the best version of Windows 11 without Copilot, AI and other bloat

Windows 11 LTSC (Long-Term Servicing Channel) is a specialized edition of Windows 11 designed for organizations that prioritize stability over the latest features. It allows users to defer feature updates for up to ten years, receiving only monthly quality updates and optional feature updates every three years. LTSC includes only Microsoft Edge as a modern app, with classic versions of Calculator, Notepad, and Paint, and lacks Copilot integration, the Microsoft Store, and Widgets. Users can operate LTSC without signing into a Microsoft account. The version was officially announced in April 2023, with Enterprise and IoT editions set to launch in late 2024. It is suitable for large organizations, industrial systems, IT departments, and IoT devices needing long-term support. General users can download a 90-day trial of LTSC, but a clean installation is required for transitioning from Windows 11 Pro or Home. The minimum system requirements include a 1 GHz processor, 4 GB RAM, and 64 GB storage. LTSC offers advantages such as no bloatware, a stable environment, and a lower storage footprint, but it does not receive new Windows features and lacks access to the Microsoft Store by default.

Contain your Windows apps inside Linux Windows

WinApps and WinBoat are two solutions for running Windows applications on Linux. WinApps, developed since 2020 by Ben Curtis, allows users to run a genuine copy of Windows in a virtual machine (VM) and export individual applications to the Linux desktop using Microsoft's Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). It supports various methods, including Docker, Podman, and KVM virtualization, with KVM offering extensive customization but requiring a more complex setup. WinBoat, a newer application at version 0.9.0, simplifies the user experience by automating much of the setup process and requires only Docker and FreeRDP to be installed. WinBoat is designed for ease of use, making it accessible for users less comfortable with technical configurations. Both tools allow users to run Windows software that may not work well under WINE, but running a full Windows OS in a VM involves licensing, maintenance, and resource considerations.
