    "The Intel Management Engine (ME) is a grave threat to the freedom, privacy, and security of computer users. [...]
    If there is an event at your university or in your community addressing the Intel chip bugs, we urge you to distribute printed copies of our report by Denis GNUtoo Carikli"

    @lx It's probably gonna be some time until we see fixes. Spectre's apparently hard to exploit, but also hard to fix:

    See http://kroah.com/log/blog/2018/01/06/meltdown-status/
    TLDR: Numerous patches on the mailing lists, some don't even build, kernel devs worked on #Meltdown first, had no real info in #Spectre, no upstream fixes yet

    1. An update on ongoing Meltdown and Spectre work
      By Laura Abbott from Fedora Magazine
      Last week, a series of critical vulnerabilities called Spectre and Meltdown were announced. Because of the nature of these issues, the solutions are complex and requires fixing delicate code. The fixes for Meltdown are mostly underway. The Meltdown fix for... Continue Reading →

    Usually I apply #iOS updates promptly. This time, though, I’m looking at my iPhone 6 becoming 40% slower: https://melv1n.com/iphone-performance-benchmarks-after-spectre-update/

    It feels like the end of summer when I have to reconcile myself to the fact that there won’t be any more beach days.

    This seems like a fine time to remind people that Ben Eater made an entire video series on building an 8-bit programmable computer from simple TTL chips (including detailed explanations of logic gates)

    Best of all, it's #Meltdown and #Spectre proof

    Quick update re: #debian mitigations for the CPU issues:

    #meltdown

    > Debian kernel team has worked to mitigate Meltdown in all suites. This mitigation is currently limited to kernels running in 64-bit mode (amd64 architecture)

    > wheezy, jessie, jessie-backports, stretch and unstable/sid are fixed

    #spectre

    > Mozilla has started mitigating Spectre in Firefox and some of these changes are now in Debian unstable (version 57.0.4-1). Chromium has also started mitigating Spectre but no such changes have landed in Debian yet.
