C'mon bro just one more stock buyback bro just one more stimulus I'm good for it.

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 44 points 2 months ago

Who needs employees when you have stocks?

[-] NeoNachtwaechter@lemmy.world 85 points 2 months ago

People join companies, but leave managers.

[-] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Oh, man, just fuck you, it's 6am here and you throw they kind of truth before I've even started coffee.

[-] sunzu2@thebrainbin.org 48 points 2 months ago

Let me guess that imbecicles in charge didn't care to spend money on it?

[-] drwho@beehaw.org 15 points 2 months ago

They seem more concerned with their bonuses and stock buybacks. In August Intel announced that they'd be laying off 15k workers to "save" $10 billion US. They're also cutting back on R&D for the same reason. I guess the MBAs decided that losing customers by hamstringing Linux users is an acceptable loss. Not like folks won't forget about this six months from now, anyway...

Must be nice to know that no matter how bad you shit your bed... Daddy Sam will take money out of peasants pockets to make you right...

[-] drwho@beehaw.org 2 points 2 months ago

Makes you wonder why so many people want to be rich and powerful, doesn't it?

[-] mumblerfish@lemmy.world 47 points 2 months ago

"Some" appears to be 3. How many are left?

[-] bloodfart@lemmy.ml 22 points 2 months ago

Two things are happening: intel is trying to figure out how to deal with likely existential problems and their extremely mature product base doesn’t need those maintainers enough to offset supplying early retirement/buyout.

[-] Mwa@lemm.ee 21 points 2 months ago

I got a intel cpu will i be fine

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 48 points 2 months ago

Possibly not, for a multitude of reasons...

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

There is only a small amount of devices impacted. As long as you aren't using high end 13 or 14 gen hardware you are fine.

[-] some_random_nick@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

If 13th or 14th gen, only if you get lucky and update to the microcode hotfix. GL

[-] Mwa@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago

i have i3 12100f which is 12gen

[-] winterayars@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

That's not affected by the relatively serious issues plaguing more recent Intel CPUs so it's probably fine. If it was the more recent generations, there are some major and probably physical defects causing problems for those.

[-] TunaLobster@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I was actually on the fence between that one and the non f for a lower power server build. Something that would finally put my 7700k to rest.

[-] InFerNo@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 months ago

I just upgraded to the 7700k 😂

[-] SomeOne@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 months ago

From what I remember I have a 2nd gen i7, I don't think that updates matter at this point. Lol

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

What generation and model?

If you haven't seen any crashes then you are fine. Just update the bios and microcode if you are on high end 13 and 14 generation.

[-] Mwa@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago
[-] yonder@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 months ago

Uh oh, I have an Intel ARC.

[-] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 months ago

Prior to this news....how has it been?

[-] yonder@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months ago

Pretty good if you stick to linux. Better than NVidia since that's what I had before.

[-] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah, I'm having a lot of trouble with my Nvidia card right now in Garuda Arch. It's a 1060, so about time to update anyway.

[-] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Good, not great.

Amd has better gfx performance, but they're actually close in a lot of areas, if you don't need graphics and want compute probably better.

Id say it doesn't compete with Nvidia at all because if you're thinking green your concerns are so different nothing will sell you.

But holy shit the av1 encode is like nothing else on the planet. Multiple streams at 12x and it just barely ticks over.

[-] HumanPerson@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

also have an arc and I found it better than even amd considering it had easy opencl support.

[-] LeFantome@programming.dev 1 points 2 months ago

None of the departures seem related to ARC

[-] wallmenis@lemmy.one 8 points 2 months ago

Rip xeon servers (they will probably be fine but still)

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Another news, water is wet. People leave and join companies every day.

The amount of Intel products impacted is limited to specific models. Also Intel is now committed to replacing damaged hardware. If you update the microcode it will fix the issue and if you aren't experiencing crashes you are good.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
