  IIRC a bunch of distros moved to i586 or i686 as their minimum CPU version, which means packages get compiled with instructions that aren’t supported by 386 and 486 CPUs. So those 32-bit ISOs only work on relatively recent 32-bit chips and will crash on chips which are 30+ years old.

  Yeah, but manufacturers abuse that to deny liability regardless of what the cause of the failure actually was. So we have laws against just assigning liability to the user.

  The foundry reminds me of Space Exploration’s industrial furnace and casting machines.

  If their response is to put aside money to pay the fine instead of actually stopping doing the illegal thing, the billion dollar fines are obviously still not big enough.

  So they’re YouTube, but with no video controls. Awesome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An algorithm, among the many other things they ruin, is causing stability problems on Intel Core CPUs⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And then after everyone read the microcode bit and ran off to write articles, Intel added a note about the corrosion thing. It totally wasn’t timed that way on purpose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it normal that my OLED discharges 20% per day in standby?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s because system firmware is designed and tested on Windows, so the supply of new and exciting hardware bugs that need workarounds is endless.
