also yes to the second part; the way I understand it so far is "if root installs bad stuff, it will do bad things", and yet everybody still has to go through the possibly pointless exercise of clarifying it with AMD..
AMD is affected by Spectre. But none of this new stuff looks like any problem for users; rather it's just a bypass of the hardware-enforced layers they lock you (as the legitimate owner) out of, no?
