Needing a new laptop soon. Is it possible to get one without Meltdown/Heartbleed yet?

· Web · 1 · 0

@forteller Heartbleed should be fixed by now 😁 You probably mean Spectre?

@resist_berlin There's so many, I can't keep up any more! Fixed as in "there's a patch that destroys your performance", or as in "there exists CPUs that does not have this weakness any more now"

@forteller Fixed as in: not a CPU problem in the first place:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heartble

I think you just mixed up the names, the recent thing was Meltdown/Spectre. Heartbleed is old.

And regarding your initial question, idk. I'm using a computer from *before* that, i.e. with a CPU generation that is generally unaffected afaik

@forteller the diy one from Olimex i suppose ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
