Je sais que la comparaison est boiteuse mais le timing des deux nouvelles m'a inspiré ce petit #meme avec #microsoft et #linux . 🪟 🐧

Et je me rappelle que la sortie du processeur #Intel486 remonte à bien des lustres (1989) mais ce que je ne savais pas, c'est qu'il était encore produit jusqu'en 2007... ça reste impressionnant, considérant les avancés technologiques des processeurs.

Bonne nuit, prince du MS-DOS et des multiples jeux #shareware que j'ai jamais acheté. 😉

🖥️✨ Ah, the Intel 486, announced in 1989, when dinosaurs roamed the earth and the concept of 'fast' #computing was about as mind-blowing as a dial-up modem. Fast forward to today, and this "expensive" relic can barely handle a modern fortune-telling website. Keep up the #nostalgia, folks! 😂🔮

Intel 486 Support Likely To Be Removed In Linux 7.1

Although everyone’s favorite Linux overlord [Linus Torvalds] has been musing on dropping Intel 486 support for a while now, it would seem that this time now has finally come. In a Linux patch…

😢 Diciamo addio al mitico Intel 486: Linux toglie il supporto. Finisce un'era, ma la strada dell'innovazione continua! #Linux #Intel486

Addio Intel 486: Linux rimuove il supporto CPU

L'Intel 486, lanciato nel 1989, si avvicina alla fine del supporto nel kernel Linux: con la versione 7.1 inizia lo smantellamento sistematico della compatibilità con questa CPU storica.

Pulled out a noisy #486dx system in my collection! Listen to that hard drive! This one is among the oldest machines in my collection! Where did I get it? I don’t know! But, it works! (By the way, old machines like this have mains voltage going to those power buttons - don’t mess with them!) #oldcomputer #retrocomputer #intel486 #dos #msdos #plopbootloader #vintagecomputer #retrocomputing #90s #90snostalgia

Інго Молнар, який є мейнтейнером архітектури x86, механізму блокувань і планувальника завдань в ядрі Linux, запропонував додати в ядро набір патчів, які видаляють підтримку процесорів 486 (M486, M486SX, AMD ELAN) і початкових серій процесорів 586.

An 80386 Upgrade Deal And Intel 486 Competitor: The Cyrix Cx486DLC

The x86 CPU landscape of the 1980s and 1990s was competitive in a way that probably seems rather alien to anyone used to the duopoly that exists today between AMD and Intel. At one point in time, C…
