Is it worth it?
@[email protected]
Yes it is worth it. I made a setup with an e5 v3 CPU a few months back. The CPU was without a doubt the biggest bottleneck in my system even if it is an 8 core one. It might still be okay as long as multitasking is key, but it TANKS per-core performance.
Battlefield V ran atrosciously with around half the FPS until I turned off mitigations.
If you have an older system, there is no doubt its worth it. It could be the difference between usable and trash.
Have fun getting compromised
Barely any chance.
Then why are they enabled by default?
Why can they be disabled with one kernel boot parameter?
For debugging purposes only
Better question is who would use that exploit?
No, you are opening up major security holes that can be exploited easily. You are basicly opening up every hole
to be completely honest, I have no idea
