Intel's Pay-As-You-Go CPU Feature Gets Launch Window
Intel's mysterious Software Defined Silicon (SDSi) mechanism for adding features to Xeon CPUs will be officially supported in Linux 5.18, the next major release of the operating system.

@prologic what is this about? Could you provide some context? Can’t tell from anything on your twt.

It sort of reminds me of the shit that Toyota tried to pull by attempting to (_then pulled out_) charge their customers a monthly service fee for the privilege of remote starting their car with their key fob that itself is entirely a local mechanism to the car. I mean c'mon 🤦♂️ Or the stupid shit that Samsung TV's now pull by shoving advertising in your face with 1/3 of the screen real-estate gone to their stupid crummy advertisements.
