Removing features from firmware is a real dick move.

    Yea, but what about next time?

    It should be illegal to cripple the things that we buy after the fact. In any way.

    From what I read this is somewhat a gray area - AMD never stated that non pro CPUs support it, even though they do and they should. Anyway, it was a dick move.

    If you don't want people to have it, ship without it, though.
