TL:DW It’s a 54:20 video of Fake Linus interviewing with Linus Torvalds. It goes over Linus’s views on hardware choice, questions about Linux and several community questions.

The video is long, but it’s a good listen.

    Blame Intel for making that a bold statement. Their refusal to allow ECC on anything except expensive server SKUs for decades set data integrity back substantially.

    Fuck Intel.

      As a devil’s advocate; what if they allowed ECC by default and manufacturers became overly reliant on it to make certain RAM chips binnable that never should have been?

        I can’t say I follow you. The price difference between ecc and nonecc should be so low as to make nonecc extinct, in a world where the marketing shits at Intel didn’t have their way. How would it end up being a negative?
