What the UK politicians governing this country have done to EU citizens is a scandal. How can she say "the country I love" and squash democracy? Lunacy or "strange love"?

@davidallengreen @lisaocarroll Denied my vote today. There was NO information in the post and very little time to figure out about EC1 forms.

@Krewell @TheRegister Yes. Read "at risk". See also the ARM page https://t.co/d1nvVcl0RS and the published "we were not able to exploit ARM" in the https://t.co/vdHDWci1qc paper. IMHO the way ARM handled the problem is much better than Intel PR spin. BTW Cortex-M is not affected.

[Jurek Gurycz @predmod]

@Krewell @TheRegister Is there a proof to support your strong BS claim here ? Or is this your understanding of the "at risk" ? The question is not of the risk itself but rather how it is handled. Do I say "others are bad (probably)" (PR BS) or do the right thing and fix the product..

@TheRegister the key phrase here is "Why is this all done without any configuration options?" .. oh one wonders why ...
