![]() ![]() The "patches" seem worse than the exploit, causing permanent damage to your system. Browsers have already been patched for it, and I'm already using ScriptSafe (because NoScript now sucks) and a strict firewall. You'd have to be infected with malware first, so normal safety practices should hopefully keep you fine. The real problem is always connected public servers (aka "clouds").Īnd smart phones, since their security has always sucked. It's my understand that, on a scale of 1-10, the risk is actually low for home desktops/laptops/tablets, like a 2. Going for FPGA i will for sure not go for Altera (Intel owned) and now i will for sure not buy Intel CPU. I have no intention to install any patch as simply will not accept performance loss and don't believe that suing Intel for all my 7 computers has any chance to success however i'm almost sure that in future i will not buy anything from Intel as seem Intel was aware of this vulnerabilities from very long time yet they didn't take any serious action to solve this problem - simply lost interest to buy Intel product as over last 20 years Intel began to be a company offering bad quality products. ![]() ![]() I believe this something deeper than SSD or bitcoin mining - this vulnerabilities addressing foundation of modern CPU's - speculative execution was one of keys to significant processing gain. ![]() seem this is bigger issue and most processor architectures using speculative execution is affected to point where only one way to reduce/eliminate risk will lead to disabling speculative execution - loss of speed will be proportional to code quality and code that designed to be explicitly executed should be not affected. If possible i wouldn't allow patch my comp, but i think it will be mandatory. but with older machines, impact will be bigger of course. So having skylake, feeling is overall o.k. Don't mining bitcoin another thing that can be affected (security keys) and not running Virtual machines. Main impact is excepted at SSD discs, about 20%-35% glad still have magnetic discs. ![]()
