On windows the article mentioned being a microcode patch via Windows update. Linux would be similar- but via a kernel update most likely. I’d assume that a general BIOS update would also do the trick, but then you’re relying on motherboard vendors and it’s unlikely many would provide such an update to older hardware, even if it’s still widely used.
Difficult to exploit, already in the process of being patched. Truly, the most breaking of news.
I think they meant it as “once infected may be impossible to disinfect.” But it sure doesn’t read that way at first glance.

Alright, where’s my replacement once my current Fitbit dies? What company makes a watch that tracks steps, heart rate, sleep, spO2, notifications, is generally water resistant (light swimming) and has a battery that lasts ~5+ days? Bonus points for open firmware/hardware that doesn’t require me to design my own apps/systems for each of those items. I don’t even use most of what my Versa 3 can do, but I know it won’t last forever and I’d at least like an idea of where to go if/when it breaks down.
