Spectre and Meltdown

[rdave13]

There is no UEFI bios update for my laptop showing in the SUPPORT COMMUNICATION- SECURITY BULLETIN page. The laptop isn't listed at all. Running latest version - Insyde F.85, 13/10/2017.

Shows protected against Meltdown but not Spectre. Will there be a bios update for my notebook? Thanks.
