Nice meme

Pre-haslel systems apparently wont get any microcode updates anyway
Grayson Bailey
Nice meme, buddy

Yeah z370 Asus has them and I am asking you pros , WWYD??? WHAT WOULD YOU DO ..
Last time I updated bios the version my.MOBO didn't like and had to reflash to another BETA BIOS and still there. Everything works great just weary of BIOS updating

>not updating to latest BIOS as a matter of course
People are stuck in the fucking 90s when flashing a BIOS was actually dangerous and there weren't huge security holes in CPUs.

It's "wary" not "weary".
Noah Roberts
I'm about to get leery.
So do I update and get the microcode?
Does it really matter?
I really just wanna get of my BETA BIOS but don't want a performance hit
Jason King
You have to update to fix spectre. It's not exactly optional here, user, sorry. Fortunately main performance regressions seem to be in I/O and that's generally live with able
Cooper Brooks
>live with able
Well fuck me were gonna be fine .
Ok so YOU goys would update , gotcha

Just seems fishy .... now we have to update BIOS?

Meltdown is patched via software. It cant be fixed with microcode. Specter is being patched with microcode.
Mason Rodriguez
I basically would "need" a bios update only for one laptop I own but then I'd loose the wifi whitelist hack and that would suck.
Samuel King
I have a Z97-HD3 so I'm fucked anyways.
Jonathan Ortiz
I doubt EVGA is going to update my board from like 2010.
Grayson Nguyen
im not going to do anything because my superior cpu is not affected by these bugs.
Grayson Martin
kernel fixed my shit up

Motherboard manufacturers are worse than android smartphone makers for abandoning their products shortly after launch
Don't expect any BIOS updates if your motherboard is more than 9 months old
Leo Gray
Been away for a couple of weeks. I have updated my windows. My Motherboard is like 3-4 years old, would there even be a bios update. Besides updating windows is there anything I need to do for spectre and meltdown ? Is there any software to patch meltdown ?
Cameron Scott
When is the windows update supposed to come? Or do I need to download it manually or something?
Benjamin Murphy
It came out on Tuesday mate.

EM64T is still expensive ripoff of AMD64 ISA

>have option to update BIOS
>afraid of performance nerf
Luke Sullivan
does that mean that 64 bit GNU/Linux would work on this thing too?
Christopher Butler
yes

>Meltdown is patched via software. It cant be fixed with microcode.
When did Intel say so? Who the fuck decided that it can't be patched with microcode n shit?
Juan Miller
WHEN should I upgrade
WHY am I asking Sup Forums
Grayson Collins
You actuslly think intel is going to be transparent about that?
Zachary Sanders
Meltdown cannot be patched stop saying this stupid shit, the “”patch” is a mitigating that doesn’t “fix” anything. intels NSA ME backdoor requires physical CPU architectural changes
John Roberts
>You actuslly think intel is going to be transparent about that?
I don't give a fuck about transparency. But they do don't want everybody talk about performance impact n shit. I think they want to remove that impact of quick software patches, just to shut up AMD faggots....

Where did u get this? How u can know what can be patched and what requires physical changes?
Leo Martin
Dude is english not your first language?
Daniel Murphy
last time i did a bios update my laptop hero'd so idk senpai
Ayden Brown
how can I prevent updates? don't want to take performance hit
Michael Green
It does it is.
Aaron Martinez
Sup Forums is the king of conflating unrelated things because no one actually bothers doing any research and they just parrot what they read on here. the IME flaw/s are separate from meltdown but to them it's all the same conspiracy
Carson Sanders
Just disconnect from internet
Brody Cook
What should we do if we have a librebooted thinkpad? Libreboot and FSF seen to be silent on these issues so far.
Nathan Turner
Fuck I shouldn't laugh in times like these
Jack Ward
the real question is
no bios update
hacked by script kiddie?
