Lol? Intel has tons of flaws. And just because of this single exploit, then Apple should never ever manufacture their own chips? MacBooks seems perfectly safe as long as I don't plug in a bad usb-c cable. As long as you don't buy the usb-c from some weird guy in the hoods, you're be fine.Another reason why Apple Silicon is a horrible idea. Apple isn't ready, willing, or able to do the groundwork necessary to keep their chips secure. Get used to the Mac going from one of the most secure platforms out there to being ridden with horrible, unpatchable bugs and security exploits.
It's one thing when you can make the OS a walled garden, like with iOS. When you can control the software, you don't need to worry about the hardware being buggy. But unless we're going to have the Mac App Store be the only source for Mac apps, get used to having your computer pwned on a daily basis once Apple Silicon is a reality.
1 theoretical flaw vs 100 known security advantages.
