They're dropping a (mini-)generation past 486 & Pentium. They're referred to as 586 class chips. AMD K6-2s, Pentium 2s. Many 32bit CPUs are probably safe, like Pentium4 or AMD Athlon. Not sure if the early Celerons will have support.
I'd be shocked to see a K6 era machine in a dumpster (and disgusted it took this long to chuck it).
You'd be better off replacing it with an ARM chip that would give you much higher IPC at a much much lower draw than any of these old things.
Word. You may not be able to run Windows 95 on it (although I think there's something that's trying to do that, reactOS, or something like that), but there's probably some Win95 emulator that would run someone's nostalgia software.
I'm still pretty peeved at myself at buying an old Solaris server from circa 1998 in 2006, which I chucked in 2012. Big, noisy, & slow with 2GB of RAM. I still have a soft spot for old Sparc desktop machines, because they're pretty much embedded chips with openboot.
Hopefully one day, OS environments will become so abstracted, that there will never be a need to support old hardware, and old software will always be able to run, emulated or not.
No, Anonymous was a branding attempt at running the Dread Pirate Roberts con.
What happens when a tight and talented group brags about their latest hack? They get notoriety, the unwarranted fear of the masses analogous to terrorism, and the Eye of Sauron (NSA/FBI).
If you're not in the hacking game for the psychological gratification of generating terror towards the sea of stupid, and eventual federal indictment (and unconstitutional harrassment/blackmail), what can a hacker do?
They can develop tight cells of competent hackers, and just give credit to the Dread Pirate Roberts (Anonymous). Of course, pompous pieces of shit living in their parents basement may try to bask in the limelight provided by them, but that just gives more people to distract DHS.
How do you know when you've been hit by Anonymous? When they actually do something significant to hurt you. What about all the blowhards and false flags? They're all volunteer sheep to distract Sauron.
Its more like will there be a US Air Force in a hundred years. The Air Force may have come about because of military politics, but air resources were ill suited to be managed by less technical services like the Army. That is just not the case today. The question is which service disappears first, the Air Force or the Marines.
F-35's being configured for different countries is bullshit. The F-35's were advertised to take care of specific foreign buyers requirements, and that's what those buyers sunk their money into. The UK's requirements were not different than the US Marine Corps'. The same goes for every country, excepting Australia and Canada (and the US Navy) that wanted two engines in the F-35. They were told (very politely) to go fuck themselves, and if they didn't like it, they could go buy someone else's stealth warplane system.
What happens when you jam a drone's signal? Expensive flying bricks that eventually crash in enemy territory.
What happens when you develop autonomous computer systems to take control of the drone when it loses the ability to signal its controllers? Skynet.
Its extremely unlikely that drones will ever fully replace humans in the air. When they are capable of doing so, that's when you'll have to worry about your weapons being used against you.
The problem is that its (probably) past the point of pulling the plug. The Pentagon is already decommissioning front-line weapons systems in order to "make room" for the F-35. The only justification for shutting down the F-35 now, is if it is certain it will financially collapse America to the point the military can'f face down foreign threats. Unfortunately, its not quite certain enough to justifying bankrupting Lockheed Martin and put the Western militaries into a 5 year disarray. So most western military services will be moving to this boondoggle, and hopefully it will function better than the national Obamacare computers did when put to the test.
There's literally no reason for a super-advanced brand-new logistics software for the fighter.
You're just demonstrating your ignorance. Luckily, its the dumb preaching to the dumb.
Software on a weapons system is used to improve the weapons system's performance. It automates tasks which once required a human to do. It also determines whether a component of the plane is not working properly, which means it improves maintenance, thus effectiveness and longevity of the plane. Just like sensors do in your car now. In a $25K car, it would be stupid to do some of the things that being done in the F-35. But since each F-35 is going to cost $100M USD per plane, its a freaking cheap investment to keep those suckers going.
The real problem is that the F-35 became a white elephant, a weapon system to make corporations money, and they promised too much while lowballing their contract estimates. Since the people responsible for killing the program (officers) are the same people hired by weapons contractors when they retire, they were too slow in flipping the kill switch. When this kind of corruption is rampant, you can only blame your local congressman and senators.
The US could cut their military budget in half if it didn't have to provide protection for Europe and all the other free loaders in SE Asia.
But it doesn't have to, and that's the point. The US is nothing more that a sociopathic bully, who says to the kids on the block, "you need my protection", and every once in a while goes off on some unpopular twat. The US has to stop volunteering to do Team America: World Police. If Europe can't get around Germany, and facedown Russia, then its Europe's own fucking fault. They have it easier than being a neighbor of China.
The F-35 is the most economically mismanaged weapons development program in US history. And that's because all the other failures, from the B-1 bomber to the Paladin artillery system, got killed rather than committing the US military to go bankrupt over it. This is the price taxpayers pay when they don't fire their politicians for fucking up military spending. Because #1 for every military contractor is make a profit, not provide a quality weapon system at a reasonable price.
169.254.x.x are not defined as private network IPs (RFC1918), and it operates on different rules than a private network IP. You cannot directly route out packets from a private network IP to a legitimate internet IP and vice versa, period.
I'm not sure why link-local addresses (169.254.x.x) needed to come about, but its appears network engineers wanted a fallback towards IP assignment if the DHCP server failed. Even though 169.254.x.x is not supposed to be directly routable to the internet, it appears that it can be routed anywhere within a domain of internet-valid IPs, which could make it vulnerable to an unintended routing configuration error.
If I wished to "guarantee" there would not be a way to hack a direct connection from the internet to a machine in a private network, I would be using RFC1918 defined IPs, not link-local addresses.
Many people do this. The key is to get a TV/monitor of high enough quality to support a 4:4:4 chroma values (big difference in text clarity), HDMI 2.0+ ports (or displayport), can support 60hz at 2160p, and the response time/input lag has to be quick enough to not spoil lower end gaming. Unfortunately, they're still too expensive, and there are still too many gotchas.
169.254.x.x is not a private network IP space. You're using someone else's allocated IP space, and leave yourself theoretically vulnerable to network failures by using it.

As much as I loathe Oracle, I'd hardly say they were "taken by surprise" by the introduction of cloud infrastructure. In fact, once Amazon was able to get a leg up on Google, Oracle totally saw the light. Cloud technology is an integral component to Oracle's strategy at this point; the question isn't how to adopt it; its more like how to monetize it.
But it is exactly what I wonder. How do you ever even know if it got part way there and was destroyed in a small collision or anything?
They're making spacecraft the size of cellphone. You really think they need to design the craft to communicate that they've hit something in the vast, gaping maw of pure emptiness that is outer space?
Google assigns your phone number. And even a google to google call, all the accounts and transaction info is metadata collected. I wouldn't be surprised if they're using software to transcribe the conversation and archiving it. That's how they're able to generate a transcript of your google voice messages.

You mean jumping off the arduino train. They just killed that whole line about two weeks ago, in a strategic product lines reorg.
I mean they are talking the K6 and the winchip.

Well, I learn something new every day. But 169.254.x.x is still not private network IP space.
All the candidates stink and there's no way you can agree with everything they say. Just get over it and move on with your damn lives.
You people do realize that you can't have cable service either, since the settop boxes are all capable of snooping.

In any case Google did not use Oracles VM anyway. It used Davlik VM.
No, as of Licorice, it uses the ART VM.

You need to pass a test to get a government license to operate a HAM radio. And that was a century ago, before there was metadata and cellphones...
Terrorists. Drugs. Anti-Muricans. Atheists.
No thanks. I'm not a terrorist...
Hell, when it comes time to take down POTUS Trump, the NSA will have a catalogue of every piece of incriminating evidence.
