We had a similar system at the supermarket I went, however it was some barcode reader you had to pick up at the entrance, but the system itself was nice as you could pack as you went, and when you were done you could just scan the QR code at the self-checkout terminal where it would upload all the stuff you scanned, then all you had to do was pay.

No need to fiddle with the temperamental self-checkout system, I'm sad it's gone :(

Sounds like FUD to me.

When do we reach the point where we get to post-scarcity and that we no longer work for money, instead we just try to make society better as a whole for our common goal à la Star Trek?

My wife would be fucked unless this take out some preexisting allergies she has (quinoa, buckwheat, hazelnuts, peanuts, eggs and many legumes including soybeans although she doesn't react to soy lecithin)

As long as WoW64 is not ready for primetime, I agree.

They shouldn't have any issue extraditing the ICE agents responsible for this without due process, right?

GeoFappr?

May they suffer the wrath of their porn-deprived populace.

If Fedora drops support for 32bit packages, Steam, Proton, and more will no longer work, and all Fedora derivatives become useless for gaming.

That is until Valve make the Linux Steam client proper 64-bit (which hopefully will happen sooner than later), and Wine/Proton don't have to depend on 32-bit/multilib at the Linux host level, that's what the WoW64 subsystem is for.

That will definitely break Linux-native 32-bit games though.

I dunno, the concept of an immutable OS is definitely interesting, and I don't believe Arch or Ubuntu currently offer that.

Seems like a good reason for the Wine / Proton WoW64 subsystem to improve.

AFAIK, you couldn't run 16-bit software on native Windows x64, so Wine is exhibiting the same behavior.

Anyway, these 16-bit softwares are old enough that running them in DOSBox or something like that won't show any significant performance penalty through emulation vs translation.

I thought the Steam Linux client was already native 64-bit?
If not, maybe this is the kind of push needed to get them to actually go full 64-bit?

And may it pisses off the MAGA crowd like nothing else.

$30 per year of extra support, or for free (at the cost of your privacy) if you connect your Microsoft account.

I'm not banned, and no thank you.

So that they can select their friends for some juicy defense contracts.

Some services now send a one-time code to the customers that they have to give to the delivery guy to confirm the item as received instead of a signature.
