  1. Isn't that backwards though? The hardware is just doing what it's doing at the physical level, the software is the gateway to the exploits. However, that hardware (Intel), isn't forcing anyone to use said operating system/kernal. So I can't find any negligence/fraud abuse. However, if for let's say, Intel releases CPUs that magically come pre-installed with Windows/Linux, and while KNOWING about the bug for 6 months, and continuing to sell those specially designed CPUs, then yes. Could be grounds for fraud/negligence. However, since the end user is manually installing the software that acts as a gateway to the exploit, how does that mean the hardware is at fault? Maybe I am missing something or don't fully understand this but that's my viewpoint on it
  2. How can Intel be at blame, when the SOFTWARE you use on top of THEIR hardware is what creates this exploit? It's a "hardware" issue yes, however, where does negligence come into play on Intel's part? A CPU at the physical level doesn't care about what software you use. Intel isn't forcing you to use any kind of operating system/kernal. You would have to prove that in court, for their to be fraud/negligence. Last time I checked, we willingly install the operating systems.
  3. Here is a really god ELi5 / TLDR about it all. Read his chained tweets below Seems like the bug Spectre affects all microprocessors, not just Intels
  4. Well, not in that context, no. However, from what I understand is this was an exploit that had to be patched at the software level? I just don't find how fraud or how Intel meant foul play here, it would actually be Windows for NOT releasing the patch fast enough then woudn't it?
  5. Hehe. I actually do some game development in the Godot engine. And it loves Linux, in fact, I tried it on Linux Mint and scene previewing was 100ms faster. (Very noticeable, compared to Windows)
  6. Actually, I just installed the patch mate W7 for life, or until Microsoft stops supporting it haha.
  7. I'm on Windows 7 though, and a lot of other people are too
  8. Does this actually give me a valid reason to upgrade to W10 now?
  9. Good. Takes 1.6 billion to kill an Electron based app. Finally!
  10. I think his reactions to the body were fine. Some people joke/laugh to help with coping However, using his body as a thumbnail/recording the corpse crosses the line. I like Jake Paul more than Logan Paul now, which is something I thought I'd never say.
  11. Has 500k subscribers on YouTube but can't keep a steady income. Am I missing something here? In any event, hope he gets the help he needs. Suicide is not the answer.
  12. Not worth $1500 at all, 1k max imo Also, "barely used" lmao yea right.
