Hundreds of millions of business PCs are still on Windows 10 as D-Day nears

Absolutely no reason to obsolete millions of Intel crap

The specific CPU models are chosen solely to have endless need to purchase new equipment

Windows 11 update breaks localhost, prompting mass uninstall workaround

just how incompetent do you have to be ....

to break a 25 year old piece of shit ?

Re: Progress

Americans kids are too fucking stupid /.. and lazy .. they barely pass any STEM standards .. that is why they can't compete

My last 3 hires at Oracle were foreign originals on green card or residents .. They had STEM masters and PHD by 24 or 26 from US universities

Show me an American kid like that because I didn't see any resumes from them

Re: The cancer will be kept at home

How can I get down voted for a fact ?

Re: They will just keep them in the foreign country

Some cesspool sweat shops will still want to baby sit the kids

I worked remotely for 25+ years before retiring

Re: More TACO

He will make special licensing agreements with his largest donors ..Oracle and IBM aren't going to pay full salary.

The cancer will be kept at home

Companies will simply keep this cancerous trend in the foreign countries.

I've seen this cancer since the 1980s. ..IBM , HP, Oracle , where I spent 40 yrs in . It will only be a temporary action .

They will just keep them in the foreign country

What these H1B are is on-boarding /training at the company so they return to the corresponding sweat shops back home . All the companies on the list have offshore sweat shops .

Now they simply train in place .

Microserfs ordered back to the office, given 10 days to appeal

Just another ploy to layoff older people

This is exactly how IBM thinned the over 45+ age group

The majority of remote employees are senior employees and the higher paid group.

The day care staff have been in the office since 2022.

You can now test drive Fedora 43 and Ubuntu 25.10

I have up on Fedora around ver 24

The updates would leave the machine unusable/bricked/ .. online updates to the next release would fail ... after multiple manual reinstalls of the next release I gave up and simply use Oracle Linux .Its free and tested.

I use my Linux machines .I don't want to debug them.

Oracle’s layoff train rolls on: 101 in WA, 250+ in CA - with more cuts looming

many are middle age and older . Like IBM and Dell .EMC ,

the majority of my social circle in their 60s who are retired did so after being laid off.

I retired from Oracle after 8 yrs at age 64 .. 3 yr ago.

Windows isn't an OS, it's a bad habit that wants to become an addiction

Kill it

Years ago our local pool used Windows PC machine to read card readers ID and open the electric latch .. the decade old machine died and they couldn't get a serial adapter gadget to work that connected to the ID scanner .. and they lost the data base the application used.. ..they had to replace the entire infrastructure.

There are hundreds of thousands of gadgets deployed waiting for the same fate.

Fedora 42 has the Answer, but Ubuntu's Plucky Puffin isn't far behind

New Intel boss is all about ‘deleveraging’ the x86 giant

Re: 108K+ employees?

Re: Just fuck off.

I learned decades ago employees are as disposable as toilet paper .. I told new hires learn your craft .. make as much money as possible ..leave when its time ...Never trust your employer in this day and age .

stunning

A company that has made literally billions of Intel based computers through mass production over the past 30 years

is having financial problems .. there are millions of those computers out there that contains nothing but Intel components.

Linus Torvalds suggests the 80486 architecture belongs in a museum, not the Linux kernel

Re: Airplanes use old cpus, right?

Are they running 6.0-rc kernels ?

No

Likely an Old abandoned branch likely because it is the only one that works

kill it

A lot of stale garbage in the kernel that is no longer needed or used

America's work force is too stupid to contribute anymore

Mark Liu, Chairman of TSMC, the Taiwanese company leading the world in advanced chip production. told Sixty Minutes America has lost the ability to manufacture highly technical electronics because it abandoned STEM education, and lacks advanced manufacturing engineering skills.

America cannot build and maintain the manufacturing environments, let alone the designs. They have outsourced everything to Asian countries to be closer to the manufacturing points.

In other words -- America's work force is too stupid to contribute anymore.
