I am curious as to if there is a point when the major OEM's simply give
up providing security updates for the latest CPU issues or if they will
start doing it in batches as there are just so many of them.
I hope that the security world will also test AMD_x64, POWER, RiscV, ARM
and ARM64 for these
I would agree that I don't want to bash them, I think it's better to just
explain that a blob still exists in those products and the problems with the
modems.

The problem is that everything has got a computer in it these days and I
too fear that the only option to avoid all the bad-ness going on is to
opt out of computing as well :(
Well that's only my method of dealing with it.. generally I think it's worth
waiting for them to properly fix some problems first. At least then people vote

I'd prefer to see chips from scratch, rather than patching on features late in
the game. We can be pretty sure chip makers will only patch problems as they
are found instead of redesigning their chips to prevent future problems.
My reaction to the situation is that I'll no longer buy new hardwar
