is they used the same email for the admin: "not_putin@phoenixtrading.ltd"

Remember how MS said Recall data would be encrypted. Technically it was encrypted if the user turned on BitLocker, but that meant little. Other applications could easily read the data on the computer. The BitLocker encryption only protects the data if the HDD is removed from the computer.

Again I sigh as your description of the issue is misinformation at best. No one is "damaging" the code. People have modified Linux over the years. The new code means the hardware you want Linux to support forever does not support it forever. Linux is still open source. You can create your own fork and maintain your own legacy hardware all you want. The official Linux kernel will not support it.

1) That's a very large sense of entitlement you have. Linux does not belong to you. Linux is coded by mainly volunteers. 2) If you don't like the direction of the Linux kernel, you have been free to create your own branch since the very beginning.

It is not insanity; it is not mistakes. It is just your entitlement.. The Linux kernel is doing things you don't like because it does not want to support your hardware forever. That is your complaint: Someone does not want to you what you want them to do so they must be "insane". They must be "damaging" code.

Adding things to the kernel because the processors change is called progress. You don't like it: Fork. You keep whining about how code is being "damaged" or how you are entitled to someone else not adding whatever code they want. You seem like the kind of guy who complains that his neighbors modifying their houses damaged you.

Again so you are complaining how the world's most used kernel is "poorly reinvented". How do you think that happened? Probably because Linux changes things.

Speaking of Unix, you do know FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD exists right? Why don't you use them or do they also "damage" code.

So again you confirm that you have nothing to contribute

My fear is that many companies believe they can replace workers with AI to start mass layoffs which could have huge ramifications to the economy. Later when they realize the limitations of AI, it would another upheaval. Stability will be the sacrifice.

*Sigh*. Linux can run today on 386 chips. The versions that support it are widely available for download. Newer Linux versions have moved on from 40 year old processors that are no longer sold. While you are at it, current Linux no longer runs on Itanium, IBM Cell Blade, etc. There is a difference in that Linux still will run with Linux will always accommodate every old platform with the newest versions.

Linux is a kernel. All kernels must have their own specific implementations and patches for specific hardware during compile. Or are you asserting Linux on x86 must work on ARM out of the box without compiling?

Distros are not under the control of Linus. He is responsible for the kernel.

Who is ruining life? If you want to run older Linux on your older hardware, no one is stopping you. You seem to want the impossible where Linux works on all things equally without any complications.

Do you have anything to contribute other to try to rage bait others?

I'm afraid you have wandered into the wrong forum. Perhaps you thought this was the Windows 11 Sucks subreddit?

No if you read the story, the actual problem is the batteries need to be replaced due to fire risk, but replacement batteries are not available for another 18-24 months. In the meantime, the manufacturer recently put in software locks to prevent charging under 41F. That's the real problem.

The main issue I see with AI is it is being sold as a way to extrapolate reports, data, code, especially in the case of using LLM. Right now AI works best when analyzing data and interpolating results: For example using AI to analyze patient data to determine better predictors of cancer. (Test A + Test B is a better predictor than Test C alone). Where AI (LLM) is terrible is getting details right. The general framework of a code snippet is probably right. The code may not actually work or only work under very specific circumstances.

The buses are fine to drive in winter. The issue is the buses cannot charge in temperatures under 41F at the moment. What is missing is that the buses were able at one point and why. From the article:

The actual problem: The buses need replacement batteries as the current ones pose a fire risk. To allow the buses to operate with existing batteries, software restrictions were installed to not allow the buses to charge under 41F. The software could be changed or the buses could get their replacement batteries sooner. The summary makes it seems like there are zero solutions to the issue.

Well it is marginally better than saying, "oops those email summaries were only meant to be sent to the FBI. . ."

True, for workloads that don't involve a lot of web browsing. For web browsing, I've seen a single article on Ars Technica open 40 or more Firefox content processes: one for each origin that is running its scripts in the document.

How is one supposed to build and test a program for macOS on Apple silicon and a program for Windows or Linux on x86-64 without owning a Mac with Apple silicon and a Windows or Linux PC?

Most well-known GNU/Linux distributions aren't charging for the next version, nor increasing the system requirements quite as sharply as Microsoft did from Windows 10 to Windows 11. The system requirements of Windows 10 differed little from Windows Vista's recommended specs. Windows 11 began to require much newer features in the CPU, particularly mode-based execution control (to limit the damage that an old vulnerable driver can cause) and an ongoing commitment from the CPU manufacturer to update microcode with new Spectre mitigations. (See williamyf's post on Ars OpenForum.)

Some GNU/Linux distributions are indeed ending i686 kernels. But by 2010, practically all desktop and laptop CPUs were supporting x86-64, even netbook CPUs such as the Atom N450 in the Dell Inspiron mini 1012 that I used to have. So that's at least 16 years' worth of used PC hardware that you can repurpose. Anything older than that probably has 2 GB or less of DRAM sockets, and Wirth's law has corrupted the websites that people are required to use for work or for life administration for so long that 2 GB is inadequate.
