The Lounge 0001 [From the Beginning]

Lmao. There’s this whole “news” thing going around about “Ryzen vulneribilities” that was made by a research firm… Made on 6/9 of last year… And all the “vulnerabilities” require at the least root access and at most literally reflashing the fucking BIOs … At that point if someone is trying to get into your stuff you have bigger issues. Namely the unknown person messing with your PC rofl.
And somehow people are believing it.
Maximum click bait and also FUD spreading.

GG.
Anandtech article for those interested in a more reasonable take on it.

Yep, that’s what I’m talking about.

I’m going to see what happens, but honestly, the first three, “ryzenfall”, “fallout”, Masterkey" seem to be nothingburgers to me.

I’m acting like I’m okay. It is not bad enough for me to feel like going home.

The level of stupidity involved makes me think its a paid manipulation. Because something this bad doesnt just happen because someone wanted to troll people.

looks at people who still think the It has a Heart and Soul Vega thing is real because it was leaked a few days before April fools, and it was the April fools joke lmao

Intel’s CEO is on CNBC today, so there’s no way this isn’t Intel’s doing.

This quote from the article is quite telling, they only gave AMD 24 hours instead of the standard 90 days disclosure period. there’s definitely some shady shit going down.

You could still infect your co-workers.
I have no way of knowing how much being sick effects your ability to work, but that should be taken into consideration too.
And last but not least: ignoring being sick will usually make it worse or at least extend the duration. In some cases much worse (adult son of a friend of my grandmother ignored the flu. the result was a mild stroke cause his frontal sinuitis started festering - I don’t know the details, that’s just what I’ve been told). Instead of ~1-2 weeks he was out sick (and in hospital) for a lot more than that incl. rehab training).)

Take it easy and don’t push yourself, please.

Yep, I’ve been fighting walking pneumonia for a good month. Should probably take a week off and travel to the desert to get away from humidity.

Hey, you know those Silica balls they put in shoes and the package of electronics to protect them from humid air?
DON’T EAT THEM!

Anyone else get the urge to brutally murder their boss?

No, but it does seem that unusual to have those urges.

Not my current boss, but this was me three years ago at my previous company.
