As someone quickly pointed out, it affects ARM too...but still pretty cool/funny.

Actually, Pi uses an ARM processor that is immune, they don't use out of order execution.

So one ARM processor on a board not mean to be running intense workloads or multiple VM's, so it wouldn't have been affected anyway. Neato.

Actually it is a neat idea, not terribly practical, but I guess that depends on how you scale it. Just posting saying not ~everything~ got hit.

But any data you have in a cloud environment that's backbone is running on an intel VM platform (very likely vsphere + intel) is theoretically exposed. Your google data, your apple data, dropbox, aws, azure, one drive etc.....

"THEY" already got all my personal data ... hacked VA servers and then Equifax breach

Seems to give a whole new meaning to the phrase ... "you old hack"
