So they got all that money from Uncle Sam’s CHIPS Act only to lay off 10,000 employees and make themselves “lean”. Govt funded unemployment.

This saga has moved fast so I don’t blame you, just an FYI Intel has issued a statement saying the microcode update “will” fix all affected CPUs (it won’t, because the damage is physical) and will not be issuing a recall.

We are witnessing one of the more obvious end-game states of capitalism. Intel continues to state they don’t give a single shit about this issue, and will not do anything about it.

The corporate nihilism will continue until the collapse. More and more companies will act like this because why does anything matter when we can profit more today?

What’s the alternative to Intel for a home PC? After getting caught up on this, I won’t be ever buying one again.

AMD. Maybe Qualcomm in the near future. AMD Ryzen chips are pretty damn good.

Good to know. Probably have another four years on my PC before it heads out to pasture.
