Hey Intel, what about an apology?
Hey, Intel. You were selling faulty CPUs for 15+ years, you are still selling faulty CPUs, and there are no signs you even intend to fix them. You sold faulty CPUs for half a year, knowing they are faulty, without telling you customers. You helped develop band-aids for subset of problems, and subset of configurations. Yeah, so there's work around for Meltdown on 64-bit Linux. Where's work around for Meltdown on 32-bit? What about BSDs? MINIX? L4? Where are work arounds for Spectre? And more importantly -- where are real fixes? You know, your CPUs fail to do security checks in time. Somehow I think that maybe you should fix your CPUs? I hearing you want to achieve βquantum supremacy". But maybe I'd like to hear how you intend to fix the mess you created, first? I actually started creating a workaround for x86-32, but I somehow feel like I should not be the one fixing this. I'm willing to test the patches...
(And yes, Spectre is industry-wide problem. Meltdown is -- you screwed it up.)
