Welcome to the Paleofuture blog, where we explore past visions of the future. From flying cars and jetpacks to utopias and dystopias.
– These live in your BIOS/UEFI. They’re actual low-level patches for CPU behavior. Intel and AMD release them to fix stability bugs, security holes (like Spectre/Meltdown variants), and even improve performance.

But here’s the twist — your CPU does rely on critical, updatable software that most people completely ignore: – These live in your BIOS/UEFI
