Linux prepares to axe legacy x32 hybrid mode — hybrid 32-bit/64-bit mode faces complete removal by 2027 due to low adoption
Linux developers are discussing removing x32 ABI from the Linux kernel; a hybrid x32/64-bit mode that was never widely adopted by software developers.
The makers of the Voyager Golden Record could not assume an alien would understand minutes or seconds, so the playback speed engraved on its cover is defined against a single, unchanging frequency of the hydrogen atom — a clock written into the physics of the universe.
The two Voyager spacecraft, launched in 1977, each carry a gold-plated copper phonograph record. The record holds music, spoken greetings and encoded images....
A NASA satellite launched in 1976 carries a Carl Sagan–designed plaque sealed inside its core, mapping Earth’s continents 268 million years ago, at launch, and 8.4 million years from now — and that last date is no accident, because it’s roughly when the satellite is expected to fall back to Earth and finally be opened.
On 4 May 1976, NASA launched a satellite called LAGEOS-1 from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California. It is one of the simplest objects ever put into orbit....
