Okay, I should've shouted this earlier. THE AMD VULNERABILITIES THAT JUST CAME OUT HAVE NOTHING WHATSO-FUCKING-EVER TO DO WITH MELTDOWN/SPECTRE IN SCOPE, DANGER, OR APPLICABILITY. ANY COMPARISONS DEMONSTRATE A COMPLETE LACK OF UNDERSTANDING AND A FAILURE AT TECH JOURNALISM.

I'm not aware of practical attacks against Secure Boot itself (i.e. not Microsoft-only attacks) but I'm open to hearing more about these attacks

Also, how persistent are the AMD attacks? If, like the Intel ME attacks, you cannot reasonably recover without resorting to flashing over SPI (or worse!), then that's pretty major.
