I'm going to be a pedant, and point out it was an unsecured box, with a penguin in it, which knocked the controls.

Weird way to say the on-board computer is Linux based, but ok. Link to the CVE?

It was just shitty drivers.

Yeah but unsecured box doesn't generate clicks

[–] snuggledick@lemm.ee 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah but would the box have slipped without the penguin in it? We need more penguin box experiments I think.
