US PRESIDENT TYPE REGIME DID NOT TALK ABOUT HUNDREDS OF NUCLEAR TESTS IN NEVADA WITH NUCLEAR FALLOUT ALL OVER US SOURCE: US GOVERNMENT MOST AFFECTED REGIONS WERE THOSE WHERE YOUR GRAIN PRODUCTION IS.
no. SOFTWARE multiarch is SOLVED long ago. so not removing it is excuse. not technical hurdle (not software hurdle, not hardware hurdle)

youre saying ( and people you are taking this bull from, are saying it to you ) that comercial software will abandon windows and intel if new computers wont support 32 bit. that is what you are copying from these thick people and saying to me right now... it is ridiculous.

computers NOT having 64support are how old ? 15 years ? 20 years

YOU PERSONALLY CHECK IT, FOR YOU. SO YOU KNOW.

if that does not provide enough information for you, to correct your totally ridiculous statement then i do not know how to help you. ( i understand a lot of people is saying it to you wrong like that, but still )

i do not mind they reiterated, i mind they read it and found nothing wrong with it . call your hitlers before it is too late.

question for both of you - does 32 bit register fit into 64 bit register ? if yes, then why you two both did not notice anything wrong with logic in article, in comment etc ?

yet, processors had that, even before 32BIT 4GB issue was even issue in press XD
FIRST year in college you learn about address translation. but this 4GB 32BIT myth is spread even between / by people who we are looking for benchmarks, deep technical insights etc. i hate that people are not computers sometimes, mixing humanities thinking with technical thinking is cancer. and we are tolerating it, LTT has milions of subscribers ( if it is not obvious why it is bad i feel bad for you ), anandtech is intentionally inserting total bull .. inaccuracies into their articles, .......

rule of money as a current totalitarian regime.

no, i am asking why running EMULATOR is issue under x64 ? from technical point of view it has nothing to do with each other.

will ! EMULATOR ! work ? is like asking your car mechanic, why petrol stations sell cheerios. yes it is car related but nothing to do with each other.

your ALREADY EMULATED games can work on apple,qualcomm... CPUs. it is about EMULATOR - PROGRAM - SOFTWARE, not about HARDWARE - CPU architecture.

and i do not know what "retro" games are you playing, pentium type of machine can be emulated on arduino boards...... thats the state of computing in 2023. mind boggling.

linux community had this thoughts 15 years ago

but these thoughts were rejected because " intel is using this, so we can not remove it "

and intel reasoning for not removing it was : " linux is using it, so we can not remove it ".

why would not be ? Not even title of article says anything even remotely suggesting it will go away. So you do not need to read it correctly, you just have to read it as is. What you are saying(thinking) has nothing to do with ISA being 64.

and we are in year 2023 so you and other people complaining about retro gaming and other totally absurd things, should just go to youtube/ google/ wikipedia and start learning about contemporary computers so people like you do not need technical support, even in these basic questions. We are not in 19 th century when did you have to go to library, you have library context switch away.

sorry for being harsh but it is quite annoying that people dont even know machines they are using.

select one word, press shift + ctrl and press arrow key. boom, unknown hi tech for 99% of workforce ! ridiculous.

Why ?
starlink can monitor your traffic in ground station. so you do not need ground based listening station. optical links still does not work what i know. it is kind of dumb relay ( atleast today ) darpa had program which wanted starlink like satellites used for military purposes, with sensors AND machine learning onboard, 400 km is not very far from earth either, so you do not need complicated sensors (optics..) to see / hear / feel / receive things + capability of computation ( ML filtering, ML recognition.. ) can provide you with very powerful platform. . plus on top - with optical interconnects you can transmit data without touching "bad" side of globe XD

so with ESA putting this amount of (american made) computation, you can see where it is going.

im proponent of having telemetry not encrypted, we need this for same reason we use ADS/AIS

there are multiple "channels" from / to satellite. not all have to use consumer grade encryption.

purpose is test platform, from "ally".

some other comments provide link to mission statement, there you can read it was developed to do tests about spacecraft security, im not sure they ment computer security, tho. you can write ESA, you can find some ESA people on twitter even.

what i did / did not do in my free time, 15 years ago i do not want to talk.

is 20 year old tech hackable ? is not sourcable. what is done to satellites is not really possible to source, people need to work. and even bull is considered secret, proprietary etc....

for threat model: hybrid war is "new". " attacking infrastructure was considered war, full stop " this changed for some reason.

american corporation have 4 pictures of "earth" everyday, in database, starting from 1996... and still even today, you can point antenna up and capture geostationary satellite pictures, not in that resolution tho. ( NOAA / old russian meteo satellites - this was not in threat model. source is point antenna up)

im not talking about things like FLTSATCOM 7 and FLTSATCOM 8 which are known and covered by news.

im not confused about what is telemetry, control, data, transponder, etc

most nonmainstream things / themes are not "googleable". because hybrid war. hobbysite from 20 years ago - cqham.ru has some articles about "downloading" nonencrypted traffic from satellites with for todays standard, primitive equipment

so threat model for satellites is not what we thought.( as a public hollywood goers ). and even if satellite is "hardened" is hardened by obfuscation rather then technological mechanism ( even if it had technological anything in it, which they dont. most satellites are older then 20 years, anyway.... )
and what is a news about this ? 99.99999999% of satellites are vulnerable to attacks doable by middleschool teenagers.

msot of traffic between satellite and earth is unencrypted ( RC4 like encryption is not encryption ), there are hundreds satellite listening stations all over the world.

for example "Abhörstation Königswarte" can listen to african presidents talking over satelite phones.

snowden leaks provided some info about collections thru these kind of stations. ( NOTHING in snowden leaks, showed to public, was unknown / not already opensource )

on my machine TPM is checking state of machine for security reasons, so if this runs ANYWAY then why not use that for one more useful thing ... ( it runs before even machine thinks about booting anything )

you can define shutdown flag for hardware change: shutdown -rF XD,

some things are hot swappable and for that there has to be logic (in kernel) to know you have new hardware...

if you have total hardware failure that can be detected too, on next boot...

you have indexes............
im not saying remove all existing code,

im saying you can have two pathways, ( decision which route to choose is almost zero cost )

first - when you boot correctly, you can save information that you booted correctly.

second - if you do not find information about safe boot, you go old route, quicksort route.

( YES. you can do that, in a way you do not have loops of boot process because you are reading boot is ok even if it is not. just dont be lazy like linux kernel developers were, when i was telling them this exact thing few years back. )

world is not simple, rust wont help you make world simpler. so moot point. read OP again, you misunderstood.
main point of running unixy stuff is exactly that i can mold my solution to specific problem EASILY. thats why it is so common in embedded market ( routers, kiosks,drones, car infotainment, TV... )
exactly, it is not problem of making it slower / faster or which is slower/ faster.

BUT

that we use solutions across multiple problems instead providing solution specifically for that problem. if you have KNOWN vm, on KNOWN hardware then why you need all kinds of hardware and other bull.. initializations, checks.... ? just provide list of things it has to have then after list is run over without problem, continue. also why would amazon/gcp/azure care ? they are making money from you running inefficient solutions....

but question is, is this solution for people running software on other peoples computers ? or solution for running my own code on my own computer only ?
OS should save all serial numbers of devices and after they are all found continue. we should make it declarative or how do you want to call it.

also why cant freaking boot process be optimized after first boot? bsd is essentialy sorting SAME thing every boot, THAT is ridiculous. sort once, save order ( list, sysinit000000000000 ), boot fast next time. hardware or other change or failed boot, can trigger start sorting bull for safety.

you know what youre booting into, so sort it once then run it from saved order next time. how many times you change hardware on computer ? and if you do, you can just restart with grub flag, toggle switch in control panel before restart, etc

joke : They do not have to care about error every 67 billionth callculation that much, AI is hallucinating enough.
and still "comply" with requirements for "cooperation with law enforcement".
"traditional" vendors provide ** in realms of Intelligence agencies..., so these "traditional" vendors are very hard to replace with open source variants. just look what apple had to do just for example in terms of scanning all your pictures for ** or **, just to not to be ordered by federation to do things which are required to disclose to shareholders...
This has FP64 FLOPS same as RTX4080 does.
