Never Ask Intel About Its Division Skills

THE AUDACITY! While we're all tiptoeing around women's ages and men's salaries, Intel is over here FLAUNTING its notorious floating-point division error like it's no big deal! 💀 For the uninitiated: The Pentium FDIV bug from 1994 made Intel processors calculate 4,195,835÷3,145,727 incorrectly. It was the tech world's most expensive mathematical walk of shame, costing Intel $475 million in replacements. The ultimate "tell me you're a vintage tech nerd without telling me you're a vintage tech nerd" punchline!
