Community rules (click to expand)

1. Follow the site-wide rules

Instance-wide TOS: https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
Lemmy code of conduct: https://join-lemmy.org/docs/code_of_conduct.html

2. Be civil

Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.

Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".

Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.

Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.

Bigotry will not be tolerated.

3. Post Linux-related content

Including Unix and BSD.

Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.

No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.

4. No recent reposts

Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

5. 🇬🇧 Language/язык/Sprache

This is primarily an English-speaking community. 🇬🇧🇦🇺🇺🇸

Comments written in other languages are allowed.

The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.

Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.

6. (NEW!) Regarding public figures

We all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.

Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

We are never in possession of all of the facts. Defamatory comments will not be tolerated.

Discussions that get too heated will be locked and offending comments removed.

Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

The bane of Intel CPUs, and a trigger word for C geriatrics.

[–] sorter_plainview@lemmy.today 13 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What is the issue with Intel CPUs? I'm OOTL here.

[–] rtxn@lemmy.world 44 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Some of their 13th and 14th generation CPUs have manufacturing defects that resulted in oxidation. In some use cases (servers and such), failure rates sometimes reached 50%. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVdmK1UGzGs

and they kept denying there was an issue, until there was so much proof that they couldn't deny it any more and were like "okay fine there's an issue so we're going to be extra generous and extend your warranty one whole year"

[–] rtxn@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They were probably trying to run out the warranty period. (for legal reasons, this is speculation)

[–] dan@upvote.au 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

In countries like Australia that have good consumer protection, they'd have to replace failed CPUs even outside of the warranty period, because they've still failed in a time frame shorter than a regular person would expect a CPU to last. The USA really needs better consumer laws.
