- eahman08 8y agoWould it change anything if they said "we are sorry"?
- dsr_ 8y agoYes. "That was a mistake, won't happen again" is an acknowledgement that they got it wrong and a promise not to do it again. "We're changing it" is neither one.
- krn1p4n1c 8y agoIt'd be the same kind of "We're sorry" as the South Park BP oil spill commercial.
- mikeash 8y agoA proper apology is not just “sorry,” but includes an acknowledgment of what they did wrong and that they’ll avoid doing the same thing again. Showing that they realize the nature of the problem and will at least pretend to not do it again would be good.
- shittyadmin 8y agoWell, at least they didn't make excuses or delay things, just said "don't worry I fixed it" basically. That's about the same thing I tell datacenters when they catch me seeding torrents.
- Skunkleton 8y ago> same thing I tell datacenters when they catch me seeding torrents Well, it is right there in your username :)
- mg794613 8y agoI up voted you both. Not because of added value to the discussion but you made me laugh out loud. (not the lol, but the real thing)
- Skunkleton 8y agoNot adding value in a humorous way describes more of my life than I would like to admit.
- dmichulke 8y ago> soon IIRC, at the time they talked about the delivery of the initial patches for Meltdown and Spectre, Intel's definition of "soon" was somewhere between "4 weeks" and "never"
