This Patch Prevents Your Computer from Frying, But Only If You’ve Installed it Quick Enough

This Patch Prevents Your Computer from Frying, But Only If You’ve Installed it Quick Enough

Most modern CPUs have billions of microscopic transistors in that tiny little space. These transistors are so small that you can fit hundreds of them on a single red blood cell, or thousands of them in the width of a human hair.

So it’s inevitable that something can go wrong. Many fairly modern computers are experiencing a bug right now that could potentially and permanently damage the CPU. There’s a patch to fix it, but if the damage is already done, the patch won’t repair it.
