Anyone else hate this particular blogging style?
Grandiose "expert" posturing, focusing exclusively on corporate bullshit hierarchy while being scarce on meaningful details. So they chose to hotload the microcode patch instead of rebooting, that's the only actual piece of information.
- r1ch 3y agoYes, I found it depressing how many people needed to be involved for such a simple decision. "We installed a vendor update" is not blog worthy.
- jacquesm 3y agoGrandstanding on the achievements of others. He didn't even rate a mention on Intel's page so I guess this is his attempt at hogging the light. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advisory/intel-sa-00950.html https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/security-center/advi... It's interesting that Intel more or less hints at having been aware of this before Google reported it. Also: a lot of fear mongering about information disclosure but there is afaik no proof of concept for that (though eventually a way might be found to do that it isn't the case right now).
