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

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
