Hyperthreading is insecure?
So remember that it's one core (physical) acting as if it was 2 (virtual). Each of these vCores could be assigned to separate workloads on a server. But because it's ultimately one core, threadA could possibly access data in threadB. If A was a different entity than B, then entity A could access entity B's data.
It's more that CPU architecture is insecure in general.

What is with number 9?
nine (and fish) are characters in the lore of the webcomic. https://analognowhere.com/wiki/nine/ https://analognowhere.com/wiki/fish/
To me this is the most interesting thing about this since we only ever see nine as a child or as a deciple of rabbit, i didntu read it all but i never saw nine in relation to fish, as far as i know they are on seperate ways and nine is not a character that would be a legend to anyone to put on a poster, fish maybe as they are a very senior techno mancer and the teacher of girl
I always shoved my own live system into the school computers and booted off of it.

I'll bet she doesn't like the Mobileks.
