They should all be forced to watch the relavent episde of scrubs. The one where JD's kill count jumps from zero to 5, iirc.

32-bit apps use a sub-set of the same instructions that still exist on current 64-bit systems. Running 64-bit alone does nothing to eliminate any flaws, real or imagined, from the 32-bit side of things.

As @jarfil@jarfil@beehaw.org has stated, 32 bit repos are being de-listed because no one can be bothered to maintain them(on a professional, full-time basis), and that lack of code/functional review could allow flaws to slip through. Meanwhile, a lot of those same 32-bit repos continue to exist(as community-maintained versions - my preferrence anyways) and can be accessed by interested users from most distros. They aren't blocked, just de-listed and unsupported by those distro maintainers.

I literally avoid "non-GMO" labeled food. Tell me your product doesn't have addictive additives and that you don't sue farmers for unwhittingly sowing seeds fertilized by patented crap in an adjacent field. Oh, and that your seed doesn't grow sterile plants, causing farmers to have to buy from you season after season.

All but the addiction thing, to my knowlege, are real, ongoing problems with certain(maybe all/most?) GMO products, but no, enter the crunchy fad-cycle to periodically remind us of un-proven health issues from products that were developed to make healthier(for you and I) crops that can grow in food-scarce climates.

Might as well say you prefer poor people starve if you care only about non-existant "health issues", and not the predatory practices of certain GMO companies.

Hate that this requires upvoting, but it does ... and then witnesses who do nothing? Fucking accomplices.

He can still be impeached after leaving office. I look forward to his body being disposed of in ignominity.

More like, if the Steam app ever goes 64bit, watch out. A non-shittified app like so should never require 4gb+ of RAM or anything more complicated than a 32bit instruction set.

not correcting you on the contents of the article or anything, just that 32bit is nothing close to a mark against the Steam app.

These comments are full of people like you smugly assuring us that "because Linux" and "a firewall" are enough. Lotsa firewalls out there running on Intel chips, and there have been no shortage of other mainstream firewall appliances found to have vulnerabilities and backdoors over the years, nevermind all the cable modems with built-in wifi and SPI Firewalls.

If you don't know enough to teach your kid basic security practices(all good security, and the EASIEST, MOST CONVENIENT FORMS OF IT - all starts at the physical level - pick up any textbook on the topic), regardless of mitigations you may or may not have implimented, you don't know enough to be having this argument.

Chickens were classically considered food for the rich because they eat grain. They are an exception among livestock in that regard. Talk about animal husbandry.

On the one hand, would probably be good-bye to a lot of what makes this great. On the other hand, oh look, a major corporation to assume liability for when things go wrong(giving them an excuse to further ruin things).

Thank God for April Fools

Its not the people with properly-configured networks demanding to be convinced to cover their webcams. Also, our PCs are generally not the devices we're slapping into DMZs and VLANs with either no LAN access, no internet access, or a bajillion blocked(or whitelisted) ports.

Personally, I'm far more concerned about my phone, but google has had my family's data by the balls forever now anyways, nevermind my kids' school-provided chromebooks.

The thing I feared but dared not speak when it occurred to me...
