Basically (according to him) they disabled the spectre/meltdown mitigation if you were an admin - because you were an admin and have full rights to the machine anyway. So now they are doing that for all users?

He wasn't clear - or at least it wasn't clear to me. So the mitigations are no longer needed? I think I have more questions than before after listening to that.
