You are welcome to continue development on support for the 486 if you need continued support for it. The kernel is open source and you can easily clone yourself a local repo and continue 486 support maintenance while merging in new features as time goes on.

My very first linux box, which I still have and is still running today, is still on RedHat 3.0.3 that I got on a CD in a book from the Media Play in Poughkeepsie NY in 1996. Granted it is completely useless except as a samba server sharing the 1.6GB hard disk that is still in it (and still works). But, I keep it for posterity, and because I like having a monitor with xearth on it.
I could probably put a newer distribution on it but with only 24MB of RAM, the newer stuff would choke out on it.
Submission + - Google clamps down on Android developers with mandatory verification (nerds.xyz)
BrianFagioli writes: Google is rolling out mandatory developer verification for Android apps, and while it says the move is about security, it also means developers will now have to verify their identity and register apps with Google before they can be easily installed on devices. Google claims sideloaded apps contain far more malware than apps from the Play Store, but critics might argue this is another step toward tighter control over the Android ecosystem. Power users can still sideload using ADB or a new “advanced flow,” but Google is clearly adding friction to anything outside its system. Is this a reasonable security measure, or is Android slowly becoming less open than it used to be?
Submission + - Companies are entitled to refunds for Trump tariffs 1
An anonymous reader writes: Companies are entitled to refunds for Trump tariffs struck down by Supreme Court, judge rules
“Companies in the U.S. that paid tariffs invalidated by the Supreme Court in February are legally entitled to refunds, a federal judge ruled on Wednesday.”
“Eaton was ruling specifically on a case brought by Atmus Filtration, a Nashville, Tennessee, company that makes filters and other filtration products, claiming a right to a tariff refund.”

It's not injecting any wealth into rural communities. It's injecting wealth into a single or a small group of large landowners, who upon receiving said wealth will immediately pack up and move to a large city somewhere and live the high life until they go bankrupt a year later.

They are just trying to coerce you into using the Hotmail web client in Edge instead of the classic Outlook app, which they no longer want to spend the money to maintain.

It takes a large amount of pesticide to grow cotton, and the Boll Weevil has become resistant to most modern pesticides, which means you have to use really nasty ones to grow clothing-quality cotton. Those pesticides are not removed that thoroughly because, why bother when profits are on the line?

Damn, I am glad to learn this. I just consider myself lucky that my washing machine dumps into the sewer rather than into my tomato garden. I feel sorry for all those people that are using washing machine discharge to irrigate their agricultural soil.

I really like my OnePlus.. I started with an 8T, drove that for 3 years, and then upgraded to the 12T last year. The 8T still worked great but the battery was starting to wear out so I retired it. I still have it in a drawer as a backup.
The 12T is great and I've been very happy with it.
