Opens fine for me here?

This kind of thing shows that Intel gives its STORM security team a lot of autonomy. The optics of this couldn’t be better, honestly.

[phendrenad2]

If they found a problem and didn't report it, and someone leaked that fact to the press, that would be some very bad optics indeed, autonomy or no.

So I've been hobbling my CPUs performance for the past 4 years with a mitigation that doesn't actually mitigate.

Must be a day ending in y.

Oh, but it does mitigate - just turns out it don't mitigate enough.

I turned them all off on all my production servers

they don't run arbitrary untrusted code and send a LOT of packets, those mitigations really hurt

Aww.

[edlebert]

Ironic.

In the article they explain it. People nudged intel to mitigate spectre like AMD. They looked into how they did it to learn more and found some flaws and responsibly disclosed them.
