Intel has been contributing to open source Projects, like the mesa driver and much more for much longer than AMD. Intel was hit by more more vulnerabilitys so far, but that might hit AMD in the future. I have mostly had AMD Processors but I really do not like this brand partisanship that is going on with Intel/AMD/Nvidia supporters. Just buy, what best fits your desires, not what has the logo you like the most.
Also is there any particular reason you are looking into a threadripper? Just for editing Videos that would be overkill and (including the Mainboard) very expensive. Also check first if the Software you are using actually utilizes the many cores of TR, else it would make no sense.

What do you think about free software/blueprints in regards to guns? Defense distributed makes some pretty impressive models you can just make yourself with a cnc mashine or a 3d printer and they publish it all under creative commons. Do you think it needs gun-control that keeps guns proprietary or do we need fREEEdom in regards to instructions and documentation on how guns are made?

the good vs evil reminds me of the AI discussion we had a few weeks ago on the free and open Sunday. How you answered the viewer's question is how I feel about it, too.
Good episode - I still think the next release of Windows is going to be built on a Linux platform. Sort of like how OSX is built on a Darwin flavor of BSD.

It could be argued that Intel's ISA is the ultimate evil software. Can't be inspected, analyzed, or reverse engineered without significant damage to a user's hardware, and there's nothing we can do except wait for Mill Computing, RISC-V, and AMD to overtake Intel's grasp on the laptop market.

NO! Not a sniff....not a taste... not even a free calculator! I switched my third, and last, computer over to Linux last fall, and I haven't taken a hit of Macroshaft since. MOF, I celebrate my six months of CLARITY this week! Never, NEVER, again!

Hey Derek, what are your thoughts on the Librem laptops? I think they are overpriced, but some of the design choices are pretty ingenious (all non-binary-blob compatible hardware, hardware off switches for mic and webcam).

I would absolutely love to get my hands on a Threadripper. Not that I really need any more than my current 6core/12thread rig, but still. Hope you manage to score one in your next machine. Thanks for the show, DT:)

if microsoft wants the respect of the open source comunity they have to do something more than just realeasing the windows calculator as open source, releasing Windows 10 as open source will be a much better start.

The viewer's question just shows how great times are we are living in. If you can worry about these things, life's about allright, I'd say. And M$: go f-ck yourself.

Derek, the elephant in the room is Intel Management Engine, but also AMD's PSP. Getting a Threadripper won't give you absolute freedom from hardware vulnerabilities.
