@wxcafe It depends on the bug. It's actually two of them: Meltdown is Intel only and is the worse one, letting you read kernel memory space. Spectre is cross-architecture and lets you read the memory of other user programs, but not the kernel.

With consoles you're most likely going to want to read the kernel memory space. You might still get some interesting things from other user space processes, but probably less so.

This is why I said "more resistant" rather than "safe" ;)
