you almost seem like a sane person matt
None of these affect in games anyway
reason to care about these: none
performance impacts from the JCC errata are a slightly bigger deal than earlier patches
they impact user space programs, where as previous patches only affected the kernel and related transitions
i mean its large enough performance hit on those "niche cases" that people are more and more turning mitigation off on all plantforms
"to get mah speeds"
what is quite dangerous path
those niche cases can safely turn off mitigations
as long as you don't run untrusted code
so ..browser
yes because the average person that runs a database and a browser on the same hardware
<:pepelaugh:615974280706129941>
or just you know browser when it comes to those older intel issues
the fucking POC was delivered in javascript
but no, even if you run a browser you can turn off mitigations without huge risk
"untrusted code who even runs that"
because the browsers were patched
expect 99.99% of population :D
99.99% of the population also is not affected by a tiny performance loss on their IO
and thats the worst part usualy
they deserve it
along with the people who disable windows update
ahh yes "cause someone else failed people reserve punishment if they fall for it"
people like that is why windows update is cancer is the first place
Sometimes windows update breaks more than it fixes
sure im all in usualy for the natural selection and all that but this is huge fiasco on intels part
that it is
and it keeps growing
I use mac as my daily driver and banking and macs don't get viruses
:^)
read only filesystem and disabled all download out off appstore
youd still have RAM(and swap~)
IOMMU exists
especially consoles are super anal about this
ram is either executable
or writeable
never both
there's a super interesting microsoft talk about this
