SoylentNews is people

SoylentNews first reported the vulnerabilities on January 3. Since then, we have had a few stories addressing different reports about these vulnerabilities. Now that it is over two weeks later and we are *still* dealing with reboots, I am curious as to what our community's experience has been.

What steps have you taken, if any, to deal with these reports? Be utterly proactive and install every next thing that comes along? Do a constrained roll out to test a system or two before pushing out to other systems? Wait for the dust to settle before taking any steps?

What providers (system/os/motherboard/chip) have been especially helpful... or non-helpful? How has their response affected your view of that company?

What resources have you been using to check on the status of fixes for your systems? Have you found a site that stands above the others in timeliness and accuracy?

How has this affected your purchasing plans... and your expectations on what you could get for selling your old system? Are you now holding off on purchasing something new?

    I'm not an EMAIL person. I don't believe in it because I think it can be hacked, for one thing. But when I send an EMAIL -- if I send one -- I send one almost never. I'm just not a believer in EMAIL.

    I think the computers have complicated lives very greatly. I don't use computers. I use Samsung. I used to use iPhone too, but I'm boycotting Apple, because Apple doesn't give info to authorities on the terrorists. I'll only be using Samsung until they give info.

    The whole, you know, age of computer has made it where nobody knows exactly what's going on. We have speed and we have a lot of other things, but I'm not sure you have the kind of security you need. You try to be fast, you lose the security. You try to have security, you lose the speed. Big league.
