Yep, we have security appliances sold on performance figures that’ll be checked and pointed at pretty firmly post patching. On Mon, 8 Jan 2018, at 09:57, Mark Newton wrote: > The phrase, “Of merchantable quality and fitness for purpose,” will > become increasingly familiar to vendors over the next

Watch them pull out the “this warranty doesn’t actually cover anything, and we don’t say it’ll work in all conditions” card. It’ll be nice to get a free CPU if they do have to, however! :) On Thu, 4 Jan 2018, at 18:32, Damien Gardner Jnr wrote: > If the hardware is under warranty, I'd be expecting

The patches (which exist or will soon exist for all OSes) are only part of the solution. You also need to be looking for BIOS updates from your server/PC vendors to get the full fixes. Some of these have already been released, others are on the way. Scott On Wed, Jan 3, 2018 at 8:52 PM, Pau
