    Meltdown and Spectre

    Not Films but Flaws in computer chips apparently whatever that is!

    Apple has said that all iPhones, iPads and Mac computers are affected by two major flaws in computer chips.
    It emerged this week that tech companies have been racing to fix the Meltdown and Spectre bugs, that could allow hackers to steal data.
    Apple said it had already released some patches but there was no evidence that the vulnerability had been exploited.
    But it advised downloading software only from trusted sources to avoid "malicious" apps.

    Could this affect other chips made by Intel? Seems answer is yes,
    Collectively, Meltdown and Spectre affect billions of systems around the world - from desktop PCs to smartphones.

    That’s not Spectre but maybe Specsavers can help.

    The price the consumer pays for the ethos of capitalism I'm afraid OC.

    "Maximum profits for minimum quality" is the maxim of the MNC's.

    You mean we need to move to Lada Zil and Trabant models of excellence for non capitalist states?
    Where can I buy a state of the art non capitalist phone or lap top?
