I'm paying attention.
My Info is that AMD is impacted but differently by it

Liar, I see you in chat doing other stuff.
Hmmm, i've read a few articles on this, too. Honestly, i'm not sure if i care.
What is some of the shit new members are saying? Where is SOTS?

Interesting... I wonder how this will impact gaming, I thought I read somewhere that it will impact DRM games... But I could be wrong..
boredgamer is the man, he can help you with configs and set up.
Frankly it's all speculation at this point with whole Intel saga. We will only know, when they do the patch. Also a lot of tech literate ppl say, it won't effect PC master race at all, it's mostly fucks over ppl who use Intel on servers.
Thanks for the video, really liked the pointers to other stuff going on with other parts of the community like the vids, that new Youtuber Boardgamer (they must like skateboarding or something) looks promising, always good to get new talent like BG some exposure you know how they can struggle to get views.
Issues like this won't effect me nearly as much simply because my piloting skills are so low that no matter what the bugs my be, I manage to TEST land whatever ship I fly upon lifting off. Good thing for me that I have fun laughing at myself.

Best (i.e., clearest and most concise) info I've found as of this morning regarding the Intel chip flaw:
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/03/b...T.nav=top-news
Summary:
1. There are two critical chip bugs/flaws that have been found.
2. Of these two flaws, there is a fix for one, and there currently is not a fix for the other.
3. The one that there is a fix for is the one that affects primarily Intel chips...this is called "Meltdown" and there will be security patches released soon. There is a fear that the fixes will potentially result in cpu slowdowns. Since the fix has to do with using virtual memory, everybody will be affected in one way or another.
4. The other problem is called "Spectre" and it appears to be a fundamental flaw in the way that all current processors are designed. There is no easy fix for this, so just keep calm and carry on!

the chipset issue is Two Part.
Meltdown effects Intel, as it allows access to Kernel memory and is capable of reading the entire physical memory of the target machine. As Tech articles state, Script-kiddie can do this and the most dangerous part of it is how you can spool up a cloud instance, hack that, then access machines within the same physical environment.
Spectre effects universal chip architecture, Intel, AMD, and ARM. This is significantly more difficult to exploit, but cannot be patched and will require a complete chipset architecture redesign.

LMAO it's like the 2K hysteria all over again... and what happen with that?
erh! let see... mm.. well nothing.... :beers: :beer: :beer: :beers:

looking forward to the "SC Today" series
Would really enjoy a monthly (weekly?) quick update about community stuff happening .. like the YT Videos or maybe if something interesting was posted in the forum

Hey yeah! We got gypped again. Next thing ya know, I'll have to pump my own gas.
Well then, I'm glad I haven't upgraded my pcu and mobo so I can use that sweet looking but currently unusable Optane SSD. I'll be better off waiting a year or two.
pumping your own gas is the WORST!
