[RndTbl] Horrific CPU flaws (Meltdown / Spectre)

[Bitters]

All I know is.
Both are a very slim chance of being effected. It is not some skit flaw.
It takes a lot of damn luck and skill.

Both had been known for years under googles bounty project.

Every device with speculative programming is effected.

If you want more information while listening to a podcast watch Linus Tech
Tips WAN show about it.

So if you are truly worried about getting effected.

Get your Motorola Razors and P3s out of storage and put lubuntu on that old
IDE HDD
