I'm portuguese and had never heard of it. That TV show is from 2001, so already a bit old. Otherwise it's not a very talked-about story.

Thanks for this comment. I had once reached this conclusion (everything is meaningless anyway, stop worrying about being single&lonely), but had forgotten it.

This is not being talked about enough. Have people already forgot about The Fappening? It was one of the nastiest privacy failures for tech companies. I'm impressed with how fast public opinion can change.

If I'm not wrong, these are kernel patches. Intel is adding hardware (they call it in-silicon) mitigations to Meltdown (in Coffee Lake [1]) and Spectre (in Ice Lake[2]). This should help increase performance again, right? I'm actu
