    I stopped in 2007 and haven’t looked back, and advise friends and family to do the same. This is just more ammo for the “but why” rebuttal speech, and baby, “wanting your cpu to not die” is an awfully juicy bullet.

    Watching Intel fuck themselves the last decade has been an absolute delight, but this, I could almost fap to this news.

      The worst part is Intel honestly could’ve have spun this into something of a win if they actually handled it properly. They’ve got over $25B in cash reserves, they could easily afford to do a recall and a big PR campaign about how good they are at accepting responsibility and fixing mistakes.

          That’s not too insane for a company of their size. It’s higher than many, but far from out of the norm.
