Apple Silicon vulnerability leaks encryption keys, and can't be patched easily
I'm not a software engineer, nor have a degree in computer science. But I consider myself a fairly intelligent individual, and from what I've read about this issue, it seems as time goes on and its exploited more, it will become easier to utilize? I just want to know if I should be worried about buying another Mac. I've had my M1 Mac Mini since March of 2021 and in the last three months I've returned to my computer in the morning to a window saying that the computer had to shut down due to an error, and there are super long text reports that I cannot make heads or tails of, but after reading this, it didn't leave me feeling very good about using it. Its probably a lot to ask, but if someone could break down on a scale of your choosing from "It's not that big of a deal" to "Yeah, holy crap stop using it" I'd be very appreciative. These articles about security flaws are not very easy to understand, and I just don't have the time to sit and try to decipher just exactly what I need watch for and worry about.
