I have to say, the Spectre exploit is a beautiful concept, utterly astonishing in its universal applicability across decades of technology. It is the software equivalent of using a stethoscope to crack a safe. There's no way to fix it but buy a new safe.
@photopuck Unfortunately it's not a safe that anybody makes yet. In fact the means to make that metaphorical safe does not exist yet. And there should be concerns that the radical reengineering necessary to create a safe that works as well as the safes we're used to will not themselves have even worse vulnerabilities due to not having a couple decades of progressive hardening engineered in.
