But why does it need updates if it works? Just don’t connect it to the Internet and you can run it until either it dies or you die.

If it’s from 20 years ago then isn’t that like 15 years too new to be affected by this patch?

Isn’t that just Rocky configuring the kernel that way? You’re free to compile your own kernel and it’ll still support even old pentiums, just not i486 in new versions

You know you can just unlimit your bike? Right?

One reason is that unlimited speed roads and also racetracks exist and cars generally require much more driver certification than bicycles which anyone with a pulse is allowed to ride in a lot of places. I know I did over 50 km/h a couple of times as a teenager and pulled all kinds of stupid shit because it’s not like they can take your cycling license away lol

Orrrrr exercise is a form of therapy for a lot of people?

Other AI companies can still buy them, they’re just rare because nobody bought them in the first place. They destroy them because scanning them is faster and in some jurisdictions that absolves you from copyright infringement since the amount of copies doesn’t go up

Can’t say I’ve had your experience, Windows always had issues. Think 7 was the least problematic version for me and the last one I remember fondly.

I have a car diagnostics laptop running 8.1 because it doesn’t support legacy boot for 7 and is too weak for 10. That UX was horrendous. Then came 10 which was unusable without an SSD. That sounds like the norm now but back then a lot of people didn’t have them. I’m not even going to mention 11, it came out before the AI craze and has sucked since release.

But the really crazy side of Microsoft is the ERPs. Way too much always changing. Good old systems being retired because they have a worse new one to replace it with, etc.

The URL they posted has the same title as the post here so it’s the source that changed their title after the fact.

Idk, the mosquitoes at my place this year are so plentiful and small (hard to hit) that multiple people have asked me where the fuck those are coming from.

If you live in the suburbs of a big city you don’t know what mosquitoes are. I live next to the forest and this summer the forest is nearly impassable on foot or bicycle apparently. Which kinda sucks because I wanted to go foraging for mushrooms soon.

I’m sure they’ll still find some way to get out of the house and bother me when I’m outside.

reaching its peak

One can only hope.

There are also flights where this could be used as fully electric right now, or very soon if they increase range a bit. If you fly from Tallinn to anywhere via Finnair, you go through Helsinki, that’s like a 30 minute flight. And the reason you don’t just drive to Helsinki is that you’d have to take the ferry which costs more money, takes over an hour and the Helsinki airport isn’t that close to the port.

Similarly, you can fly from Tallinn to the two bigger islands here in Estonia, very short flights versus like a 3 or 4 hour bus ride involving a ferry. 30 and 40 minute flights with the current 30-40 person planes that company uses.

It’s been Chromium based for ages now. Meaning they’ll likely eventually stop supporting manifest V2 too, unless Google makes it easy for them to keep supporting it.
