Depending on the OS, microcode updates are under full user control. You can apply them or don't at your own discretion. The problem is knowing which particular update includes the change.

Much ado about nothing, IMHO. AVX-512 isn't advertised by Intel as a 12th gen desktop CPU feature and doesn't provide any advantages for most desktop users anyway. Sure, there's niche applications like some particular PS3 emu

That's not a Schoku socket! Plugging the wrong type of plug into the wrong type of socket will lead to that. That's a nice strawman, since the plug and the socket belong to different systems.

You cannot compare a DOS COM program to an ELF binary, though. The ELF header alone is 64 bytes while COM files have no header and can fit more than a Hello World program into 64 bytes (uncompressed): mov ah,9 mov dx,108 int 21 re

The CPUs still include speculative execution (starting with T3 Oracle introduced speculative and out-of-order execution in the S3 pipeline) and Oracle had to release patches to mitigate Spectre v1 and v2 vulnerabilities; see Oracle Support

Maybe you didn't look? You can't see the shutters from the outside unless you look straight into them and they're painted red (mine aren't for example, so cannot tell until you plug something in).

by qayxc 5y ago
To be fair, the exposed pin problem is specifically a North American one - no EU product features all-metal pins. Only the the very tip is metal and half-inserted plugs cannot expose metal parts (you only have plastic exposed in that case).

In principle this could be done, even with decent results. It would basically involve a two-step approach where the first model extracts text and intonation and the second model synthesises the target voice.

Make that market segmentation instead. Intel intentionally limits consumer grade hardware in order to create distinct market segments - from overclocking to memory support and PCIe lanes.

Depending on what you need, you might end up wasting a ton of time reinventing the wheel if you go down the bare metal route. Maybe a unikernel (if applicable) could be a good compromise?
