Is it worth it?

@lemann@lemmy.one

Yes it is worth it. I made a setup with an e5 v3 CPU a few months back. The CPU was without a doubt the biggest bottleneck in my system even if it is an 8 core one. It might still be okay as long as multitasking is key, but it TANKS per-core performance.

Battlefield V ran atrosciously with around half the FPS until I turned off mitigations.

If you have an older system, there is no doubt its worth it. It could be the difference between usable and trash.

Have fun getting compromised

[-] Bondrewd@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Barely any chance.

Then why are they enabled by default?

[-] Bondrewd@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Why can they be disabled with one kernel boot parameter?

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 year ago

For debugging purposes only

[-] Bondrewd@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Better question is who would use that exploit?

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

No, you are opening up major security holes that can be exploited easily. You are basicly opening up every hole
