    Caution disabling mitigations. Only enable on air-gap devices (devices without any connection, airplane mode).

        Hehe. Or they could send a 0 to your fan velocity. Or flash/lock (setting the flash bit to 0) your BIOS through ACPI calls. Even stolen your Steam token credential. I saw an example that runs commands as a Systemd volatile user service. There are a few POCs on GitHub about recovery passwords from the browser (sand-boxed environment) for generic environments. I think that everyone here is old enough to understand the consequences of our acts.

      Do you mean I would have to execute the code for enabling and disabling every time I switch Wifi on and off? How severe is this, would it be okay to use it with wifi at home or does that not matter?
