I’m a little freaked out here - any help or guidance would be great. 😖

My higher performance computer has an #ASRock motherboard from around 2017. I haven’t seen any firmware or microcode updates since 2021.

Am I SOL for a microcode or firmware update against the #Intel #Downfall vulnerability? Are there any mitigations at the OS (Windows 10) level that could help? I guess I might just need to build a new computer.

Intel announces Arm investment, talks up RISC-V

SoftBank has been gearing up anchor investments in Arm Holdings among its clients and partners for months now (ahead of the upcoming IPO) and apparently Intel is among them. In a call for the Goldman Sachs Communacopia & Technology Conference, the head of the company's foundry business unit confirmed that the chip giant has made an investment i

Intel and Tower Semiconductor announced a deal today that to me looks like a consolation prize after regulators crushed Intel's attempt to acquire Tower outright. Tower will use Intel fab capacity in New Mexico. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/newsroom/news/sept-2023-manufacturing-news.html

@heiseonline ob die genauso verkorkste #WLAN-#Firmware haben?

Weil die nutzen irgendein beschissenen #Mediatek-#SoC statt ner #Intel-Karte...

@beebles Actually, #AMD @gpuopen needs to get their shit together and actually care aboit #Drivers and #Firmware working well at launch.

Nobody is gonna dish out 4 digits for their unstable af shit at launch as people like @fuchsiii basically have no week gone by when this stuff doesn't have issues!

There's a reason #AMD once has a 6% market share in dedicaded #GPU's on #Linux to the point that there were more #Intel #HD4000 #iGPUs in the #SteamSurvey for #Linux than all AMD + #ATi cards!

@stdevel @bradlinder that is sadly not the truth anymore.

Despite being "#UbuntuCertified" absolute basics like the #WWAN module didn't wotk at all on a work issued #ThinkPad #P15v.
Neither them nor #Canonical nor #Fibocom (#850GL WWAN Card) nor #Intel (#XMM7360 is the chipset of said card) felt responsible to fix it.

Not gonna talk about #nvidia being shitty again on that occasion...

Intel's attempt to acquire Tower Semiconductor to beef up (and anchor, and, really, lead) its Intel Foundry Services effort has collapsed. To blame: regulators' non-approval. https://www.intc.com/news-events/press-releases/detail/1642/intel-announces-termination-of-tower-semiconductor

Chip shortage in Germany's car industry will last years - Audi manager - CNA

@irenes AFAICT this only applies to #Windows #drivers as implementing this in the #Kernel would be #Malware.

Not that I excuse any #Enshittification - espechally this kind where it has 0 merit or rationale...

It's not as if #Intel's #GPU can make YouTube load faster or run smoother - which is the excuse #Nvidia and #AMD pull on their #Bloatware #Drivers on Windows, which gladly don't exist in that capacity on Linux!

@ramonita @SnugAsABugInARug @arzi

It's not as if #Intel's #GPU's can make loading websites faster.

Whereas I could understand if they politely ask me if I want to tell them what applications and hardware I use so they can optimize their stuff (similar to Steam's Hardware Survey)...

This should always be an explicit opt-in, just like sending #Crashlytics should be.

@ramonita how is that not a violation of #GDPR & #BDSG?

Shit like this should be banned by @EU_Commission and @bsi before @noybeu and others can sue #Intel...

Also this problem is #Windows - #exclusive and not possible on #Linux, and @torvalds or any other #Kernel #developer will be able to confirm...

@whitekiba Klar - nur boten die jenes Produkt damit an...

Nicht dass ich nicht so oder so Support erwarte wenn Hardware als "Certified for #Ubuntu" gelistet ist...

#AlderLake is really a major regression in #Intel support for #Linux. The webcam in #Dell #XPS13Plus doesn't work out for the box because it doesn't have mainline kernel drivers even after a year in the market. Now I found out that the mic is recognized as 'sof-soundwire', but has no audio input.

Last time I had such problems with Linux on a laptop was in 2005 when I got #Acer TravelMate.
