'WHAT THE F*CK IS GOING ON?' Linus Torvalds explodes at Intel spinning Spectre fix as a security feature

Mr T is oh so good

Linus T has never written any bad code it would seem by his silly tirade. If this was such a terrible blunder by Intel why did he not spot it years ago?

Anyone would be forgiven for thinking Linux was 100% secure.

Don't install our buggy Windows 10 Creators Update, begs Microsoft

Re: Another day

The only people that got the update from win update where those that sort it out. They were not unsuspecting "updaters".

And it is nowhere near as bad as you make out.

I have updated manually 15 PC's. with motherboards dating back up to 9 years.

Desktops posed no problems whatsoever.

Notebooks had some issues as they have many more onboard features that need many more drivers.

However even the oldest unit circa 2009 is working fine. One that dated from 2011 had some issues however that was in part an issue with the hardware already known to me, to which windows 10 even offered a generic drivers that work the hardware to 90%. Each update 10/Anniversary/Creators has to offer the same set to which they do once the OS is running.

Hats off to Hardware vendors and Microsoft for giving life to what is very old equipment.
