Ask HN: Is it time to patch against Spectre and Meltdown yet?

1 pointsby cogsabout 7 years ago
I have several development systems ranging from an ancient Win 7 desktop through to a Macbook a couple of years old.<p>I&#x27;ve avoided patching until now, because I didn&#x27;t want to run hastily written OS patches on systems I rely on; and because there didn&#x27;t seem to be any wild exploits out there yet.<p>On the balance should I patch now or wait longer? What have you done?
