just read a few articles/papers about the intel bugs #meltdown and #spectre.
#meltdown require OS kernel patch, cause 5% to 30% slow down for system call intensive apps (networking/file). and #spectre is unfixable.
We are fucked. by next week, nobody will remember the problems, except hackers and gov. But have a cookie, you are fucked already anyway with ur phone and usb and ssh etc.

#meltdown bug. if you are not a computer nerd, here's the gist: hackers discovered one very big hole to your password, and there's nothing you can do.
