You've probably heard the terms "Meltdown" and "Spectre" a lot lately. Over the past few days the two security vulnerabilities have been everywhere in the news. Hell, you're reading about them on a video game website right now, that's usually a sign that something's gone too far.
There's a good reason for that! We're used to vulnerabilities being isolated to some software or some machines, but nothing quite this widespread. Unless you're browsing Destructoid on a Raspberry Pi or something, the device you're using to read this page right now is vulnerable. That's just how it goes.
