[QUOTE="Deleted member 65228, post: 702914"] This is responsible. Everyone, read the part I quoted. I will wait for it to be rolled out for me as well, and then I will update. I'll neither force it. If I force a cab driver to speed up so I am not late for a meeting, the car might crash and both or one of us might die, as well as the other individuals related to a car crash. If I force selling of stocks, I might lose out on a massive opportunity to make 10x the amount of money I made from selling early (Intel CEO definitely didn't LOL). If I force my CPU to run at a clock speed a lot more than it should be, it may overheat a lot faster and have a reduced life-span. In my opinion, rushing never really gets you anywhere. It might work out well, but never count your chickens because rushing can make you overlook potential problems. For that reason, I'll wait for the update to be rolled out for me, and then apply it. You have people on the news talking about how we should force update ASAP, but it won't be a walk in the park for it to be deployed. It still requires user-interaction. I still need to actually visit a malicious URL which can deploy the malicious JavaScript payload to exploit the vulnerability, or download a fresh sample from the wild by accident and be legitimately infected for the attack to take place (for Meltdown). And the Spectre vulnerability, which is not patched in the recent update as far as I am aware, cannot be deployed from online as far as I am aware. Not to mention in the mean-time there is isolation features in Google Chrome, there's also an update for Microsoft Edge now. [/QUOTE]
