There are workarounds for the IME with the "vendor's privilege", and the PSP wasn't anywhere near to being that terrible. But what I am worried about now is this thing from microsoft called "pluton". Look that up! I am seriously fucking pissed off with this, it's enough to make me ditch x86 and go with Open Power (PowerPC).

God damn it, I was going to go with an APU and use the onboard graphics with a workstation gpu. AMD seems to be on the pluton train too. Fuck, just fuck. Luke makes a good point, but as someone who feels the way he does about technology, it's probably easy for him to feel this way. Old won't cut it forever.

ARM processors are currently taking over Amazon AWS. Maybe there's hope for the x86 reign of terror ending. And holy jesus maybe this Pluton thing will help to accelerate it.

The Raspberry Pi is looking more and more attractive...
