Anything drug related.
If you grow a few mushrooms they can charge you with manufacture and give you like 10 to 20 years.
- Comment on Google dropping ublock origin represents a flawless David vs Goliath victory for its developer 2 months ago:
Eh, I would think that if they’re under fire for being a monopoly any non monopolistic actions like funding their rivals will be pretty well received.

But there’s a federal law that says marijuana is illegal and states are deciding on its own legality anyway.
- Comment on There is no fix for Intel’s crashing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs — any damage is permanent 3 months ago:
The fact that you can’t discern what it is doing and it can’t be disabled makes it invasive software. There’s no shortage of qualified experts who agree with what I said and many others who point out glaring security vulnerabilities that come with using it. I linked a few for your convenience.

I’d say with all of the above at the very least its invasive software that has complete access to your system and all of its files and processes.
Spyware by definition is “Any malicious software that is designed to take partial or full control of a computer’s operation without the knowledge of its user.” The fact that you can’t look into what all it can do makes it capable of doing this.

Oh you mean they’re going to underclock the expensive new shit I bought and have it underperform to fix their fuck up?
What an unacceptable solution.

Its a “trusted” execution environment for the system. So basically, it has access over your entire system and there’s no way to know what it is doing because it is proprietary and many people and third party security groups have expressed concerns about it before and asked them to open source the code that runs it and they will not do it.
Intel has a similar system the Intel Management Engine but you can disable that after bootup and also run it on open source bios so that it is essentially neutered. You cannot do that with AMD.
The NSA disables and removes Intel ME on their systems, so it seems like there’s a very real threat from these proprietary systems that have complete and entire control over every aspect of the machine and software running it.

Its the only chip that runs on open source bios and you can completely disable the Intel ME after boot up.
AMD’s PSP is 100% proprietary spyware that can’t be disabled or manipulated into not running.

No refunds for the fried ones should be all you need to see about hwp they “handle” this.

Lol I dare you to buy these used now.
- Comment on There is no fix for Intel’s crashing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs — any damage is permanent 3 months ago:
Money grab because they didn’t have anything new to actually bring to the table this time.
- Comment on There is no fix for Intel’s crashing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs — any damage is permanent 3 months ago:
Man I just hate that you can’t disable to PSP spyware bullshit. It’s the only reason I don’t use them
- Comment on There is no fix for Intel’s crashing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs — any damage is permanent 3 months ago:
Real shit, can you sue them for this? I mean they aren’t stopping selling them even knowing they are faulty. Seriously, how can you get your money back from these vultures.
- Comment on There is no fix for Intel’s crashing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs — any damage is permanent 3 months ago:
Vote with your wallet and don’t ever get anything from this piece or shit trash ass company again. What a joke.
- Comment on There is no fix for Intel’s crashing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs — any damage is permanent 3 months ago:
Nah that was Intel trying to make excuses so it seemed like a competent company.
- Comment on There is no fix for Intel’s crashing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs — any damage is permanent 3 months ago:
It really sucks that the only chips that support openbios and custom firmware is from such a shit company like this.
WHY will AMD and Nvidia not support it? I’m running out of options. Guess I’ll just stick with old ass computers from now on.
FUCK Intel.
- Comment on There is no fix for Intel’s crashing 13th and 14th Gen CPUs — any damage is permanent 3 months ago:
So glad I spent like $2K on a computer with one of these in it that has custom firmware and BIOS on it. Guess I’m just fucked eh? Never buying Intel ever again.

You’re telling me a president can’t sign an executive order to deschedule marijuana? I think you’re mistaken.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds says RISC-V will make the same mistakes as Arm and x86 4 months ago:
I didn’t know that I thought all RISC-V was open source :( I’m not as familiar with it as I’d like to be. I might just have to dive into it more and change that soon
- Comment on Linus Torvalds says RISC-V will make the same mistakes as Arm and x86 4 months ago:
RISC-V is the only shot we have at usable open source hardware. I really, really hope it takes off.
- Comment on Las Vegas' dystopia-sphere, powered by 150 Nvidia GPUs and drawing up to 28,000,000 watts, is both a testament to the hubris of humanity and an admittedly impressive technical feat | PC Gamer 4 months ago:
Yeah we should have never invented televisions or records either! And don’t even get me started on cell phones. Just waste waste waste.
Why, if it were up to me we would all still be hunting and gathering!
