That ESP32 thing has a CVE: CVE-2025-27840: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-27840 .

And, pretty much everything all of the well-known infosec people have been saying is correct: physical access required (or, high privileges and high attack complexity; the score is kinda 'wrong' in some sense because it is combining two exploitation vectors but I think it gets across the point: this is not wormable and is not exploitable via wireless, at least not on its own. and if your threat model allows for physical access but still treats this as a big deal somehow, go home, your threat model is drunk).

I guess we're at the "Trump is openly calling for the murder of his political enemies" stage of this election...

...but remember, it's the Democrats who have violent rhetoric, like using the word "fascist" to describe an extreme nationalist racist wannabe dictator demagogue who (checks earlier in post) wants to murder his political enemies

This is a good day to say you don't have to have opinions on things you don't know much about. Most of us don't know much nearly enough about the deep complexities of what's going on in the middle east to have good opinions. Internet opinions rarely help anything, even though they often feel important. Compassion, sadness, and worry, they're all understandable and good responses to tough events.

It's ok to care and not have an answer, even here on the net. It's ok to not argue it out.
