@marcan42 Linux still checking for the f00f bug finally paying off :D
TIL that the Intel Quark SoC CPU is so literally based on the original Pentium that they didn't even bother fixing the f00f bug. WTF?

@winocm Wow, I guess they literally just didn't think to fix the bug then, even while making bigger changes! That's pretty sad.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@marcan42 do you have a source for this? Having trouble finding any. -
@drwilco You can google it, but apparently noone's tested it and chances are it's not there - it seems Linux just checks the CPU family. - Show replies

@winocm Ah bleh nevermind. Mental note: don't trust the internet with anything technical. Everyone was parroting that it has the f00f bug.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
