Regardless of your feelings on the AMD situation, you have to admit, Linus tells it like it is. Releasing that after 24 hours notice is a dick move.

"At what point will security people admit they have an attention-whoring problem?"
He's not wrong. While the security risks are there, this newest AMD thing is a very much a "Hey, look at us and our bad-ass selves!". Of course much of the world is like that..
