just circling my way in
FTFY due to redirect.

Canāt wait for this to get applied to 0.1% of devices.
Excellent point.
Yikes.
I got 8 popular links from just this one thread alone. That has never happened before.
Yāall are clicking like crazy.
Some people just want to watch the world burn.
Currently doing some benchmarks (Superposition Benchmark) on a 3930k pre and post.
i have removed the overclock to see the worst.
I just tried to install the update finding that the PC had updated to the Fall update. God Fucking Damit Microsoft.
I will re run the some of the benchmarks to see if i need to rerun all.
if i have time, i may be able to do LGA 771/775 benchmarks on the weekend. aka 10+ yeas ago
I gave up it never burns. Remember this
Its always separation of church and state err kernel and user land. We seem to get by in the end cause Facebook and twitter
Yeah I do remember something like that, a podcast covered it pretty well. 256 random locations is not a big search space in early iterations of ASLR. Is it still like that?
Seperation of kernel and user? Too slow. Microsoft loves putting things in the kernel. People demand fast loading webpages. And webpages are full of javascript to push adverts. We look at adverts and buy stuff. So really we are to blame.
This is very similar where user-land get access to kernel pages when the CPU should through an exception error like AMD does. Intel doesnt.
Then there is reaper still similar and a x64 issue maybe but needs another fix which I dont have info on .
Same info from start of year year recap on kernel and page tables.
Down into to problem intel has starts about hear in the same video. Where there hardware not checking ring levels ie 3 user space. 0 kernel and -3 IME.
Yup thats where I heard about it last time. I havenāt watched/listened to this one yet. Maybe this weekend.
Except Intel stocks arenāt falling, in fact they are currently going upā¦
here are the results. Pre Patch

In civilized countries this is called insider trading and a criminal offense.
I was rather thinking about Windows 7, Vista and maybe XP. A LOT of institutions and companies still run windows 7.
