They've had 13 years to get a certified replacement.

This was my very first thought reading the article also, there's zero reason to continue using physical floppies on devices that require them when more reliable systems are available.

FTFY

AI, or what passes for AI these days (ie. not AI), can not be regulated. The cat is out of the bag. This isn't like nuclear regulation where it can be physically controlled (and even that doesn't work; eg. North Korea). You're not going to stop some mad scientist in the basement from creating something harmful.

Instead of regulation what needs to be worked on is technologies to defend against AI threats.

Windows 2000 was the best ever made. It is the last true version of Windows NT. NT kept getting better with every release. Each was faster, smaller, more stable. It was going places, the legacy of OS/2.

Then they merged all the Windows 95/ME crap to make XP. Windows never recovered from that blunder.

Slackware has never enabled CONFIG_SMB_SERVER in any kernel.

The absolute best? There is only one choice:

GrapheneOS on a Pixel phone.

There are cheaper phone alternatives like LineageOS on supported Androids but it doesn't have the functionality of Graphene.

CalyxOS is similar to but not as good as Graphene but maybe worth a try. Also Pixel-only.

Thus spake the master programmer:
                "Though a program be but three lines long, someday it will have to
                be maintained."

Clearly it's Large Hadron Colliders all the way down.

So, in your world, Senators represent acres, not people, eh? Because Humboldt County has 16K people, while Middlesex County, MA has 1.6M people.

It's clear more countries should've had a song to explain the situation.

Please give us demonstrable results, not marketing wank. Then we might believe you. All you have to do is simply show actual provable results. It's easy because scammers can't do it. Just do it...

Solar roadways, anyone?

Not only that but people like me that ride motorcycles and have wind damage to ears. Or in the 90's I used to be in the SPL race and had sound systems that would break windows. Or people like me that suffer from trichotillomania and have hearing loss from sticking/twirling hairs in the ear and pounding the eardrum.

I'm nearly 50 so in the age group.

Many C64's, hell even TI-99/4A's, serve web pages these days. I won't link to them because that would probably kill them but if you search you can find them. This is 40+ year-old tech.

The question I want answered is why someone simply suspected of something (NOT convicted) is out on labor duty for a crime they possibly didn't commit? This is weird on all levels.
