AMD is the only x86 CPU vendor I will remotely bother with at this point, but folks shouldn't use x86 anyway if they can avoid it: https://www.theverge.com/2024/6/14/24178751/intel-raptor-lake-crash-fix-etvb-not-yet
and for the love of all things, apply CPU microcode updates on your machines, *especially* with x86, where basically *zero* x86 cores have been taped out in the past 20 years that did not immediately need bugfixing in microcode
with that said, most x86 machines apply some baseline level of microcode patch in firmware, so the linux-libre folks are just eliminating one route of harm reduction.

@TheyCallMeHacked @ariadne well, #canoeboot is a #shitpost by @libreleah so that's acceptable...
- granted I do have some hardware that has reached the 20+ year age soon and even that has #microcode updates because everything more modern than a C3 or Geode LX800 needs those...
Leah Rowe ist kein Roweboter@kkarhan @TheyCallMeHacked @ariadne canoeboot is certainly *not* a shitpost. it is a response to one.
