      You are unlikely to see a 30% drop in performance consistently. In fact on a consumer computer you may not even notice at all, however that is just a software sticking plaster over the Meltdown flaw.

      The Spectre flaw is a bit more of a beast and more or less all modern processors are affected in some way.

      If there is any good to come out of this, which there needs to be; it will be that processor architecture is reengineered for a world where computers are interconnected by default and code can be hostile. Operating systems will need to be at least partly rewritten.

      I know other eco systems are affected by this specific issue, but the whole Wintel thing is a bloated mess of legacy nonsense and lazy profit making.

        Seems like a bugger of a problem so far. Especially for server based services and online games.

        https://www.resetera.com/threads/fortnite-servers-see-huge-spike-in-cpu-usage-after-meltdown-patches.14710/

        See the graph they posted that shows CPU usage.

          For sure, if you run a Datacenter using Intel CPUs and can afford it, you will be going after Intel for recompsense.

                  I saw a headline in the paper that one shop/supermarket is stocking them but I've not looked into it further.

                  Thank you @UnTucked that would be…. 'eggcellent'  if I cant get them.

                    As someone who is a massive Jordan fan and obviously a fan of denim I was kinda excited about these when I heard about them. But after seeing them I feel they could of done if so much better [emoji853]

                      They seem like they have a target market of age 8-13. I’d have thought they were awesome in 1980.

                            Another thing I thought about on my long drive today besides imagining how cool Iron Heart 25oz XHS overalls would be: does anyone here every worry that because you don't regularly wash your jeans you've become noseblind to your own funk and you really fucking stink?

                              Taxes are coming up and the guy I normally use to do my taxes charges $125. He's a family friend and used to file me and my ex-wife's taxes jointly at about $150-175 if I recall correctly.

                              For those of you in the US, who do you use for your taxes and what do you typically pay? H&R Block? I'm starting to think that $125 is kinda steep. Back when I was married there were a ton of deductions that we qualified for but now that i'm filing as single not so much.

                                For a reliable person who gets it right 125 is very fair. IMO

                                I’ve never heard any good feedback from HR block users

                                Maybe so. Maybe not

                                  Re: U.S. taxes, I have a relatively simple situation (itemized deductions but that's about it) and have used TurboTax the last 10 years or so. Apparently they have a new option to have a live CPA review things before submission. I think my fees are only about $80 including e-File federal and state.

                                            That’s outrageous. You can buy shares in the damn company for less!
