Ubuntu is set to drop support for the i386 processor architecture beginning with its next release. Because weasels don't believe in backward compatibility?

There will probably be a fork to allow people to continue running linux on ancient hardware. Nobody in the linux communtiy is worried. (Other major distros have also made the same announcement.)

Damnit!
Now I'll have to spend hours in the basement, digging through the piles of old kit, to find a 386 machine (I'm sure I upgraded one of the 286 IBM PS/2s to 386), just so that I can bitch about it!

It's been two years since Adobe announced it would finally kill off its Flash Player; browser makers plan to follow suit on their own timelines. Na na NA NA. Na na NA NA. Hey, hey, hey...

Shockwave Flash was actually an amazing piece of kit.
I'll never forget finding an origami site that used Flash to show all the folds -- it was absolutely perfect for the job!

It's true it was way ahead of its time, and great for some uses. It's just that it needed to be patched on every weekday ending in a 'y'.
And way too many people used it for very wrong uses.

It needed to be patched hourly, but they settled on daily.

I think the bigger problem was that adobe discovered that they wouldn't get away with charging $1,000 for it, like they do with their other bloatware, so they only assigned unpaid interns to work on it.

I wonder how adobe convinced MFSFT to embed it in the windows .. they should charge adobe for all the bandwith they waste pushing security update to this POS

If you are still running Microsoft’s 2008 version of SQL Server, time is running out. But my install has almost finished?!

I take it that it's also time to "move off" KVMs that don't have touch screens.
Bloody morons.
If they'd actually done a day's work on servers in their lives, they'd realise how idiotic ms server 2012 is.

They're talking about SQL server, not the server OS.
BTW, if you're still running win7, the newest version of sql server you can install on it is 2014. Ask me how I know.

C# 7 laid the groundwork for pattern matching, but a lot of features had to be left on the cutting room floor. With the extra time C# 8 needs, many of these are being picked up. It still has problems with paisley, however.

Kinda cool, I guess, but seems like it's making things more complicated to understand. Which seems like psuedoprogress.

The method uses special sources of light, combined with sensors and computer vision processing to effectively infer or rebuild extremely detailed imagery, much more detailed than has been possible previously, without having photographed it or otherwise ‘viewed’ it directly. The rest of us just look around the corner

"It's powered by a 1.44 GHz, quad core Intel Atom x5-Z8350 processor, paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage, which is upgradeable through a microSD slot.
In short, it's a proper computer."
My definition of a "proper computer" is WILDLY different from Engadget's...

If it's for kids, it won't run DooM, so it's not a real computer.
