Re: [Trisquel-users] Hot news - Major flaw in Intel CPUs

[leestrobel]

From what I read in the news articles, it sounds like the issue is a flaw in  
the chip design, which can't be simply fixed by updating the microcode. In  
which case, the only way that Intel can fix it is with a new chip design,  
which will almost certainly include their horrible Management Engine.

Not good news for free computing. I think this highlights even more how much  
we need viable alternatives to Intel. :-(
