This is everybody with Intel graphics going back to 6th gen (including integrated). But the vulnerabilities all require physical access, so chill.

Every user using drivers released after October 2024 is already protected from the vulnerabilities.

Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince issued a stark warning over LaLiga's ISP blocking campaign. The blockades deny access to less than 150 pirate sites and reportedly render millions of innocent websites unavailable. Prince said he "prays no one dies," after revealing Spanish citizens are being denied access to critical resources. Mass blocking of Cloudflare continued on Sunday, despite a clear indication from Prince that his company has always been willing to cooperate.

Microsoft enabling free security updates for W10 through ESU (which otherwise costs $30) for one more year, on the condition that you are signed in to a Microsoft account and you use Windows Backup to sync your settings with the cloud. (It better be under 5GB, though...)
