Every article is a copy paste of the same bullshit talking about the vulnerability and pointing to the stupid cryptic list of processors that requires you to jump through hoops to read it. You can't just search for your processor in a database I mean fuck that would take them at least an a couple hours of their precious time to set up and they have only had a year. How do you fix it? Why with a microcode update of course!!...from where you ask? Well don't worry just look at the cryptic list it will tell you if you need a microcode update!!
Fuck every article about this shit. Anyone wanna bust an Eli5 on how to fix this problem for people? (I was assuming it's a BIOS update but the articles have only confused me further)
Are you using Windows or macOS? If so you don’t have to do anything. You can just wait and a new update will be available to you soon.
And, just FYI, the fix is already out for Linux.
