There’s a new Thunderbolt bug, check if your computer is affected
Can't be fixed with a patch?! WTF? I don't buy that. If it has a driver -- how could it not? -- then it can be patched. It's not as though it's a direct connection to a data or execution bus.
Even if it can't be patched, one should be able to disable it or... maybe remove the driver. It might be a dead component, but that might be worth it in certain situations.
"Thunderspy tool will then try to detect the Thunderbolt controller on your system. During the process, the tool might ask you to install additional custom drivers or enter in power saving mode."
. . .drivers for the 'tool' ? or do you mean driver(s) for the Thunderbolt controller ?
@FearlessFly Drivers for the controller.
