Since google is using something similar to or ..Linux kernel...
is this meltdown or whatever affecting our smartphones...
And how safe are we in hand of these technological advancements without
necessary parallel thinking processes for their shutdown in case of
emergencies?
Are we safe imagining users travel on *AI First* path in the light of
Meltdown and Spectre whatever depth they involve...
Any stupid answer may acknowledge the receipt of this thought on mailing
list...
and usual statement that Police Utter in United States of America when
you are suspected of any breach...
You have a right to remain silent...! (meaning someone has already left)
:-)

The only good thing is that it doesn't increase any remote attack

I just got the Meltdown fixed kernel. I am glad this got rolled in
quick.

Thank you Ritesh,

In the hurry I had forgotten to share https://lwn.net/Articles/741878/
. From the news it seems some of those patches have been backported to
4.14.0.2-1
Even wikipedia has now a page for it
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernel_page-table_isolation
Also spectre got its own page
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spectre_(security_vulnerability)
and interestingly tbb (tor-brrowser) has the
privacy.firstparty.isolate set to true
