[06:00] <valorie> dunno about spectr
[06:00] <valorie> e
[06:00] <lotuspsychje> ah yeah, tested a command, cpu wasnt vulnarable

[06:08] <valorie> what's the test command?
[06:08] <lotuspsychje> lemme check history
[06:08] <valorie> I assume mine are

[06:21] <lotuspsychje> yeah
[06:25] <lotuspsychje> !lenovo
[06:25] <lotuspsychje> !lenovobug
[06:25] <ubottu> The original release of Ubuntu 17.10 contained a bug that makes firmware memory read-only. See https://pad.lv/1734147 for more info. This bug has been fixed in 17.10's repositories (so upgrades are safe) and a new set of ISOs have been released (look for 17.10.1 in the filename).
[06:25] <lotuspsychje> all is good to go dax :p
