I built my pc to be silent. Case and fans. I would never year the Rams ramping up. But I also use FF shrug
Comment on GPUs from all major suppliers are vulnerable to new pixel-stealing attack
tony@lemmy.hoyle.me.uk 1 year agoIt’s a timing vulnerability, based on how long it takes the GPU to render the page , I think, although it’s also browser specific.
But seems low risk… at a minimum of 30 minutes to grab a username, you’d have to be sat on the same page for a while and not notice your fans ramping up…
Also, passwords seems a stretch. No (sane) site displays passwords.

What about the reveal password icon people use for complicated passwords?
geosoco@kbin.social 1 year ago
Many sites have had to enable reveal passwords for people with complicated passwords not using password managers.
It's low risk, but their numbers are also coming from fairly dated hardware and is just proof of concept. It can almost certainly be speed up significantly.
