Let not forget his real name is Theo de Ahole.
He is the biggest asshole in the hole open source community.

So they just leave some of them in there for easier access to any system sporting those CPUs. A fine plan! If you go undercover and secure a priviledged job there, you get to discover that the machines make them do it as part of their future AI expansion programme.

If you check the intel specs sheets (errata section) you will find some of the same errors as the C2D ’sports’ .

Hey backbone,
I fully agree with you that to err is human and we all are humans. But the point i wanna raise here is… intel is a world renowned brand for its quality processors. and im sure that they have rigorous testing procedures and they test each and every product before they send it to market. and still this was overlooked..

well yeah probably they hired a fresh graduate team.. i remember making bigger mistakes than this when i was a graduate. .

Ohh man…. this is unbelievable..
is there anyone whom we can trust… Leaders like intel are making such big mistakes instead of making their product quality a benchmark fore rest.

Ah yes, my bad then. Though i got to admit, to some extent, i’ve always been a little harsh on them, probably cause they’re sort of the main processor company.

What i’m curious about though is more towards how they are actually gonna solve the problem. From the looks of whats been said, it definately is gonna be a long one.
