At one point there was an android that did the exact same attack as well. No need for an additional device.

Yeah, this panic over the device is weird when it feels like a nothing burger. I can understand it in the general populace that doesn’t understand tech, but the reaction on HN by some commentators on a forum literally dedicated to hacking on things is weird to see.

It’s like getting upset by a lock picking set except this isn’t even a lock picking set and more like a door knob diagnostic tool.
