The patches you're seeing go out amount to little more than hacks that try to stop the CPU from doing branch predictions in some cases. It depends on the CPU, really. For example, and this is just a guess, netburst-era Intel CPUs may h

Depends on the browser. Chrome has mitigations, but not solutions to this, which largely consist of degrading the quality of the timer required to pull off Spectre. WebWorkers give you a more accurate timing method that can pull it off. Bas

It's not everyday that a security issue is borne out of a side-effect of underlying theory ; in this case, how out-of-order execution works. It's almost as bad as if someone proved P = NP, rendering all cryptography useless on th

Abuse departments make their respective platforms better places to be, largely because most people do not want to sift through a flood of angry pro-white propaganda and "jailbait". Just look at the horrendous quality of discourse

This was, in part, responsible for why Intel CPUs now have upgradeable microcode. Functions like these can be implemented in a software layer that has the ability to correct shipment defects. F00F is far from Intel's last bug; their la

I've searched a while for an IBM-compatible RTOS that gives your application direct access to the hardware. There are better alternatives than FreeDOS. A glaring omission is access to long mode. There's no DPMI for long mode. You

Although Teddy Roosevelt was a Democrat, he remains probably the most "manly" example of environmental conservation. The message is not inherently un-tailorable to the hard-working everyman: we've become reluctant to do so un

Somewhere along the line, they realised that deploying a bunch of KGB-style bots on Facebook was a hell of a lot more effective at controlling people than simply banning it. When dissent results in a crushing flood of mean-spirited trolls,

Extremely simplified: residents use democracy (in the form of zoning regulations) to vote out people they don't like. This effectively forbids the construction of affordable housing. The demand is there, but the supply is not allowed t

I think that's because an acknowledgement that the kind of marriage one selects has an "environmental impact" immediately brings the sacred cow of gay marriage into question. When it really shouldn't. You still have a fu

The worst on mobile is the fake virus ads. There's a script, it's the same one they all use, which out of nowhere will change the URL to some site that spams you with messages saying "Your Android has a Virus!". Every si

The 16-bit generation is the inverse. The Sega Genesis has an AMAZING homebrew community thanks to a C-language dev kit that makes writing games remarkably easy. The SNES has almost nothing, save for a wiki and secondary board on Nesdev.

It's not illegal, it can be detected and then used against you in an indictment. It's like saying you dislike someone, they go missing, and the prosecutor mentions what you said.
