## AI overview

The post announces server updates in response to the Meltdown and Spectre chip vulnerabilities, with possible short-term downtime and limited expected impact on build speed because IO, rather than CPU speed, is the main bottleneck. It also mentions new Codename One libraries for Objective-C interoperability and Scandit barcode and QR code scanning, plus a push notification simulator feature.

## Source excerpt

I've been so busy I just don't have time to blog as much as I should. I do hope next month will be better in this regard (more on that below) but right now I have to make an important announcement. There are new chip vulnerabilities I'm sure you heard a lot about specifically Meltdown & Spectre. Thankfully we are at a layer that shouldn't be impacted by these issues but we need to update our servers and will be doing so over the course of the next few days (possibly more as patches get updated).
