    The news is true. It's on the Apple news websites like AppleInsider.com
    and MacRumors.com, and also affects any other cmpputers with Intel
    CPUs, whether that Windoze or Linux.

    Maybe Apple should have stuck with PowerPC chips (the new so-called
    "Amiga" still, uses them!).

    The news is true.

    I didn't say the news wasn't true (or that I wasn't already aware of it). My point is I'd rather not get my news from someone who randomly capitalises letters, spells 'allowed' as "aloud" and despite this still considers
    himself to be a "Tall Poppy".

    Apple has reportedly already partially fixed the issue in OS update
    10.13.2, with further fixes due in 10.13.3.
