A sobering post from Bunnie. The danger is that this opens the door to ANY electronic device being turned into an explosive. Laptops, game players, watches, even healthcare wearables.

He tries to point out that the technology is easy and cheap to obtain, is practically untraceable, and can be used by both nation-states and rogue groups.

Like finding out that someone had found a way to add a non-detectable poison in the world bread wheat supply.

He’s right that it will have wide-reaching impact.

People sometimes post questions, but there isn’t as much of a live discussion here. Arduino.cc forum is probably a good place to hang out.

What do you get when you mix sophistry ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophist ) and nihilism ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nihilism )?

What are we going to do with all those Louisville Sluggers, sitting in the hallway closet?

I imagine the sequence would be different depending on the amount and range of body hair.

Personally, depends on delta-T to next task.

Digitize all national history, literature, and culture. Put them on a hundred of these and distribute them all over the world. Refresh every 6 mos. Keep one on a server that all the kids can access.

Next time there's war or whatever intolerant culture comes into power, and loots the museums, stops culture, or blows up statues, at least you've kept the history alive.

Think of it as the Library of Alexandria in horcrux form.

P.S. Important to include a user's guide, reference schematics for the reader, and FAQs, etched into something semi-permanent alongside all the copies.
