Linux kernel is leaving 486 CPUs behind, only 18 years after the last one made

You could simply continue to use the older versions - with Linux, you're not forced to update if you don't want to. Since it's open source, you could even continue modifying it freely. I think the people behind Linux are being a bit overkill in supporting older hardware in the most recent releases.

What laws, is any, does this break?

IANAL, but I believe a business can decide not to promote an employee for any reason with the exception of protected characteristics (Gender, race, etc.)

That being said, this is unreasonably shitty, and you should look for a job with more normal management practices. If they're pulling this, there's likely a lot more you're not seeing.

What is it about residential solar energy that attracts so many scams and fly-by-night operators?

My dude, you're talking about scams and using the BBB as a source?

Like Yelp, you can pay the BBB for a good rating & to hide negative reviews.

Replaced a Chevy Bolt with an Ioniq 5 and it's a huge upgrade

Don't know your car, and I assume there's probably a reason you don't, but what about just opening the windows?

Is upgrading the ssd easy enough that it is worth the cost savings?

I work on computer hardware a lot, so I might not be the best judge, but this seems simple (If a bit tedious) enough for a normal person to accomplish.

Son of senior CIA official died fighting for Russian forces in Ukraine

"I want to fight American fascism, so let me go support Russian facism"

I wish this person took time to think their actions through. They could have done something positive with their life

Encinitas (CA) nixes "very dangerous" bike lane

The best way to reduce the danger on roads is to physically prohibit cars from being on them.

Dear Big Tech, Stop Shoving AI Into Operating Systems

You have to change your steam settings to attempt to use proton. Once you do this, steam will allow the games to play. Practically everything will work once you do this.

Basic networking/subnetting question.

It's been a long time since I actually used subnets, but IIRC you will need a physical interface for each network on the router regardless.

So let's say you set up your /24 network into 2x /25's, you will need an interface for the .0 network, and another for the .128 network

If you just have an interface for the switch, and another for the WAN connection, I don't think subnetting will work for what you're trying to do

Garmin adds AI and a subscription tier to its app

I've bought Garmin devices explicitly because they didn't do these things, and promised not to do these things. Since I know they're not going to retract this decision, I am going to look into trying to get my purchases refunded.

Rolling coal

The headlights are at exactly the height to blind everyone who isn't also in a truck as well. I'm convinced that auto manufacturers do this on purpose to force everyone into a size arms race.

More Americans Rode a Bike Than Ever Before in 2024, Youth Participation Saw the Biggest Surge

I hope bike manufacturers take advantage & improve their value component lineups. Racing drives the sport, but in the real world, even the Shimano 105 is a high end specification.

Meta wins halt to promotion of 'Careless People' tell-all book by former employee

How the hell does the American Arbitration Association think it's going to bind a third party to a decision? What agreement does Macmillan have with them?

I order the American Arbitration Association to pay me one billion dollars.

This has the same level of validity. Facebook's stooges can pound sand.

A 40-day Target boycott starts today

I once dated a woman who liked shopping at Target. It took a while to figure it out, but shopping at Target made her feel superior to "the people of walmart"

HP to build future products atop grave of flopped 'AI pin' • The Register

new innovation team that will infuse its printers and conference room kit with AI

We all know that nobody asked for this, the only saving grace here is that both HP and Humane are incompetent
