            @chen @why You can fix the back doors in your CPU and BIOS? Those were the kinds of problems I was referring to.

              @dolus @chen may not be able to fix the back doors, but you don't have to pay microsoft 4 billion shekels when they decide they want to make windows stop working

              @dolus @why There is no back door if you aren't connected to the internet.
              In most cases there is a way but in others your Potato Knishes.

                  @why @dolus Intel had a bug in the TSX instruction set on haswell cpu. The fix was to disable it.

        @shpuld This problem is getting worse and worse. Plus, as the article points out, some of the things these companies are doing right now (warranty voiding stickers) are flat out illegal. But nobody has the will and the cash to challenge them.
