A pretty comprehensive FAQ and source of informationmostly for Mac and iOS device users which also includes information for other computer and device userson the Meltdown and Spectre vulnerabilities. Seems to be comprehensive and lacking the hype other sources are heavy in. Well worth going through. PING!

What I see in this:
Your actual PC isn’t a concern. When someone learns to exploit this, it will be _the of the world as we know it_.
All military systems, all power generation. If you can get a password, then it’s been controlled. So the people who figure out how to exploit would be stupid to surf a computer looking for banking information. They could control the world.
The next 10 years will be interesting. This will loom over us for more than a decade.
