If you solder a ~10cm long "antenna" wire to a laptop's DRAM data bus, it makes it extra sensitive to electromagnetic interference.

So much so that clicking a piezo-electric arc lighter nearby can induce bit-flips.

I wrote an exploit to turn those bitflips into a shell:

True, though I trust them not to be for sale to hostile governments.

@Professor_Stevens @a1ba @retr0id eh, some of my family members killed my pets because they didn't like cats. I am fairly sure they would sell me for 50 bucks despite being rich as fuck

I believe you are on the verge of insight as to just why it is that they are rich as fuck.

@a1ba @Professor_Stevens @retr0id they grabbed the occasion while I was doing a business trip to, while my brotherhad his husky outside, to let her out with her kitten. Then they said that it was my fault for going to work and not taking her with me. Note that the cat was at my apartment, and I had someone come regularly to care for them
