Bitfi turns to threats to try to silence demonstrations of the devices being hacked.
https://securityaffairs.co/wordpress/75821/hacking/bitfi-wallet-hacked.html
Pretty serious when they are talking about a company fronted by a man in the news constantly, suspected of murder, drug trafficking, and illegal arms possession. Things never seem to stick, but his constant run from the authorities and continuous run ins with the law suggest something pretty nefarious. When Bitfi threatens people, they mean it to be scary.

This article really shows why I don't like Intel and how Intel treats their customers, and highlights why closed source vendors, like Intel, are extremely dangerous - because they can force people who know about vulnerabilities to not talk about them, or worse, intentionally block fixes! Intel chips weren't just vulnerable, they were vulnerable intentionally.

Have you used the LivePatch? Isn't it only useful when it comes updating the kernel and not needing to reboot?

I don't use it, the idea is neat but... we need to reboot anyway.

I have not, but you need to have an account for that. So I just update and reboot.
