How safe are those now that the Intel vulnerabilities are known? I doubt hardware that old is getting microcode updates.
- thinkmassive 7y agoYou can disable hyperthreading to mitigate a lot of Intel vulnerabilities. Qubes, which is a popular OS choice within the coreboot crowd, does this by default.
- icefog 7y agoBut not all of them, right? Some of the vulnerabilities do require upstream microcode updates, and without them, I feel like the risk introduced outweighs any benefit provided by Libreboot.
