spectre and meltdown comin, close your trading accounts before apocalypse
Explain pls. Why close trading accounts ? I thought OS' were imminently releasing patches to mitigate this.
It’s a hardware issue. Software can’t fix hardware issues.   It’s also overblown if you are already following good security procedures like a paranoid holder.

Can be fixed with performance hits to the OS.

EDIT: But yes, it really needs to be fixed at the hardware level. Going to need to replace all my systems eventually...
