@stux Ever since I set in a Talk were people claimed to have hacked a computer with an air gap, because they were able to manipulate a peripheral scanner/printer via fucking lasers, I don't trust anything anymore!And while I don't find the original talk, I found some papers with (on a conceptional level) similar attacks: https://arxiv.org/html/2409.02292v1

@stux this box contains no more than 144 Mb of data.You have nowadays thousand of these boxes in a smartphone. Memory was precious at the time and was carefully allocated by the user.

@stux Fun fact: the term 'hacking' initially referred to the process of hacking at a locked diskette case with a butterknife to get around the lock./S

@stux Had SO MANY of these. And the 5 1/4's too. But you could get a lot more of THOSE in a single tray.
