Why is this still a thing in the current year?
>>108637632Legacy applications are the only reason anyone even uses Windows.
Why wouldn't it be
>>108637643>>108637646Just convert everything to 64bit, we have ai for that now. 32bit was already outdated in 2010
>>108637663who is going to pay someone to do that
to be honest software industry went bad pse 2 & 5 32-bit might still work, 64-bit pse until year 2018 release activation is skilled worker tier

>>108637668who pays open source devs? no one
>>108637632You know why sirs.
>>108637703/g/aylors would never listen to GigaChen, no matter how right he is.

>>108637632Business/sales niggers never allow tech debt to be addressed. Banks are still running on Fortran for fuck's sake. If it isn't a shiny new bell or a bug that is pissing off customers, no human capital is being dedicated to it.
>>108637663the only reason a program needs 64bit is to use more than 4gb of ram.
>>108638926What about efficient processing of 64-bit floats for scientific calculations, financial modeling, audio/video processing, and simulation/video games where cumulative single rounding errors fuck you in the ass?
>>108639169>>108638926>>108637663>>108637668Using 32bit instead of 64bit can cut the memory usage of most programs by half.Also, I have an eternal grudge against macos and apple because they disabled 32 bit program support with an OS update and decades worth of perfectly functional software became unuseable for no reason.
