You can do it yourself...use the linux microcode file from Intel website and patch at startup the microcode with the vmware windows microcode update tool.
I did this this summer when there was a bug regarding threads for the Skylake CPUs until I had the BIOS update available.
I'm born in the '80s...had a debit card since '00 and a credit card since '04 never signed once. Everything is chip & pin years ago. Why would US be so late in the payment processing game?
The only time I had to sign it's when I'm travelling to US. Never understood why they want a ZIP code at gas stations. Well i'm from Canada so that doesn't work well.
I don't know why you are in defensive posting. Never talked about flaws. Just the whole AMT is a fiasco because it has no use outside work environment yet imposed on consumer products WHICH most will never update the AMT firmware because they don't know how. If you followed Intel in the past two months you will know what I'm talking about. I'm not talking about BIOS or default user/pw value there.
Agree this is not a flaw but talking about Intel design in general...we haven't heard any good news about AMT , Intel CPU design and the whole Intel Press Relations in denial.
I hope heads will roll...but like always...never happens! I could even imagine an increased sales for the new generation of Intel processor with the meltdown flaw fixed. smh

I feel the last good windows is 8.1 regarding the hardware support. My NVMe SSDs are running just fine natively.
No use 8.1 (classic shell or Start8) instead. Win7 lack much of the feature for new hardware. SMB 3.0 is much better upgrade also.
Even on old hardware Win7 runs like a dying dog compared to Win8.1.
[...]We chose fast and cheap over security.
FTFY.
Then the end result would by the consumer paying the e-waste tax. Way to go!
I really like your name...in a sarcastic way... like your jokes.
Nope... Good luck with that water ingress in the LCD & hard disk.
Yeah...good luck with Denuvo DRM on Watchdogs. Damn thing run inside a VM which decrypt on the fly part of the game.
Why the sudden push for kids and newborns to know how to code? .... Like this will miraculously improve their life later on...
Mod parent up!
Factory output will increase with time.... 7.5 years is a bad estimate.
The CODEC is way out of date. I see no use even if the patent is expired.
Does it come preloaded with Meltdown?
or BlackBerry ...*sigh*
APK would be proud of you son!
EPYC is the Opteron successor. Cannot say about disabling prefetching thought.

What does a loan have to do with a bailout? Big companies do that all the time.

What session?...honestly I don't see a lot of good things (if you look at the serious post) from APK post...
