Yeah I saw this a couple of days ago this is unsurprising other than it didn't come sooner. While everybody was booing Intel when rizon came out go figure something else is wrong with x86. I still don't think I'm gonna run out and buy a power / Talos setup, I'm not even looking to get good fpgas to run riscv. Fuck it, the thing that's gonna get you hacked is something else really lazy that you probably did.

The best architecture is no architecture. Big brain move. They can't hack you if you don't have anything to hack.

Maybe check with modern sparc or power or arm if you want hardware guarantees for always on and really secure if it's worth it to you. personally, I don't have any real experience other than what I've seen in tech specs but I'll bet at least one of them has something more competent than tcg, which ought to have been the first indication for a lot of people that x86 platforms are kind of half assed

Just saying if you want like fips 140-2 level 3 sec you should probably talk to the black suits instead of going to Linus tech tips
