'hardware security bug' or 'attack'
[edit]Hi! Thanks for the great article draft so far, I think it looks very well! However, I was wondering if it is appropriate to call the described subject a "bug"; the website of the paper author mentions to it as an "attack" and states explicitly that it is not a bug:
Is Hertzbleed a bug? No. The root cause of Hertzbleed is dynamic frequency scaling, a feature of modern processors, used to reduce power consumption (during low CPU loads) and to ensure that the system stays below power and thermal limits (during high CPU loads).

- I took the liberty to modify the draft; resulting in these changes: http://en.wiki.x.io/w/index.php?title=Draft:Hertzbleed&diff=1093288142&oldid=1093259472&diffmode=source. I'd love to hear what you think about it, @Maddy from Celeste. Ogidya (talk) 16:53, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
- I totally agree. I used "bug" as it was the easiest to wikilink, but this is definitely more accurate. ;; Maddy ♥︎(they/she)♥︎ :: talk 18:13, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
- Great! I think the article can be published on the main namespace in its current form. Would you be okay with me moving it? Ogidya (talk) 20:21, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
