Regarding , I'm wondering about the consequences of using CPUs that no longer receive updates.

Does (and ) have the ability to apply security mitigations even when upstream stops supporting those CPUs actively?

I was thinking of setting up a new server and some older used/refurbished hardware gets pretty cheap.

@JohnLoader6 I am baffled at how many aren't available on Windows Update, especially (only offered thru the "Store") and (only via Windows Catalog).

@blamp For those who take the time and are intelligent enough to actually understand it, i've also posted a short thread on and a great video by of the / / project(s).

So for all the hating on this post, maybe level up and get real because if you're using a on , you're still not .

There’s a great thread on this on “the other site”; but it’s all in this superb blog from the brilliant Ken Shirriff…

I came across this interesting article (libreboot.org/news/policy.html) by the project about or regarding the shortcomings of the as well as the and the uses of CPU .

Modern hardware is broken and unfortunately tradeoffs are needed, but also those criteria misunderstand a number of evolving technical details.

This is huge.
Intels bonkers encrypted has been decrypted.
Encryption keys found. Code understood.

Full of inefficiency:

Some machine code commands trigger just a fucking ELF binary within the CPU. When you just thought you are coding in Assembly!!

Not to speak about the impact this has.
This scenario was warned about since years. Now it is right here.

Good luck with the !

Intel = Suck level 10/10.
