Not good at all, but since neither of us uses any cloud technology, we're at less risk from Meltdown than many other users
Everyone interacts with others that use cloud technology to store your personal data, including passwords. ISPs, stores, banks, insurance companies, the government. You couldn't avoid cloud tech if you wanted to.
If the fix is really a 20-30% machine slowdown, I suspect that many users, myself very possibly included, will ignore it.
While i’d like to think I control what runs on my computer and devices, I really don’t. But the real risk is in the cloud, someone else's computer by design, and usually there is no control over who shares that computer with the organization which whom I intend to interact.
I won't worry about it until Apple tells me that I need to worry.
Then I probably worry more than you, heh.
This quote is laughable! Quite bizarre, totally devoid of logic, and not the tiniest bit reassuring.
There was more to that
statement, like “It's not just us, true story!†AMD
disagrees a bit on that, though.
