    Intel being plagued with massive hardware exploits? Check.

    Intel having terrible performance per watt? Check.

    Intel bribing manufacturers to exclusively use Intel? Check.

    Intel cooperating with a genocidal fascist regime? Check.

    Yeah, I don’t recommend AMD and Apple Silicon because I’m an AMD or Apple fan but because Intel is the most god awful option available.

    It’s easy to boycott companies sometimes, but what about your own government sending aid and weapons to a genocidal regime. As an American, I feel very hopeless.

      Not alone, my country sells oil to your country which help maintain their military power using it to kill civilians.

      But if I learned something, boycotting does hurt. They hate it so much they call ot anti-semtisim.

      So fuck intel.
