Such a long post to justify something that actually could be avoided if testing before releasing were done properly, then Intel jumping into new models and products while old stuff is still broken isnt good. Im pretty sure intel will keep pushing new stuff in order that people forget about this meltdown problem because they cant fix it, those models are just too deep broken.
"I understand your feelings" no you dont, and stop telling people to stop using something just because they expect quality and responsibility from manufacturers.

The flaw isn't something that could be tested for. It's an inherent design flaw, a bad decision made in the name of performance. Their reasoning would largely have been "Well, who the hell is going to manage to exploit that?"

Everyone here should read this thread on twitter explaining meltdown and spectre instead of making these weird armchair assessments.

The one thing I agree on is that Intel handled it bloody poorly.

Tyranny is 32bit only? In this day and age of 64bit CPU's which have been around since fucking forever (well, over a decade).

Honestly, why would a person using a bot actually name it in such an obvious way?

If I had one wish in life, it would be to flog all the head honchos of Zenimax and Bethesda with a flexible cane until they admitted that supporting Linux is a worthwhile endeavour.

This has Hexen (and Heretic) written all over it! Good stuff.

Disney's The Lion King & The Jungle Book now have Linux support on Steam

Heh... The Lion King originally caused thousands of computers running Windows in stores to crash because Microsoft changed something in a Windows component.

That's when directX came in to existence.

I really, really hate it when devs use "Releasing in <insert season>"...

Sure, pal, BUT IN WHICH REGION?

They ripped that straight out of a Lovecraft story, "The Colour Out of Space". And that's okay by me!

A damned creepy story too.

Am I the only one who thought of Hexen when watching that trailer?
