Don't miss the link (in the middle of TFA) to a similar (but simpler) story about the Radeon software suite: https://www.techpowerup.com/274967/psa-amds-graphics-driver-will-eat-one-cpu-core-when-no-radeon-installed https://www.techpowerup.com/274967/psa-amds-graphics-driver-... Both posts ask at the end something like "why/how did they mess this up" but it's pretty obvious to me as a developer ... when software systems get big, teams and timelines get big, pressure for new features and fixes for more critical problems crowd out minor cleanups and quality-of-life refinements, and that helps perpetuate the cycle. I think it is kind of important to have a reminder of how the biggest, wealthiest, and most prestigious companies can have numerous small dumb bugs hidden randomly throughout their huge software suites, and not have the motivation to fix ones that have been reported for years. But one random but smart person outside the org can take a couple of days and figure it out.
