gollark: Also, due to parasitic capacitanceoforms, my code won't run unless you have a wire plugged into an unconnected arbitrary region of one of the breadboards.
gollark: And at very high clock rates, electromagnetic interference issues in some of the address lines can cause the wrong regions of memory to be read, in somewhat predictable and exploitable ways.
gollark: For instance, via [REDACTED], it's able to reflash parts of the EEPROM while running.
gollark: Oh, tons.
gollark: It's too late, I already reverse-engineered ridiculously specific details of the processor via extrapolating from your current messages about it and GTech™️ orbital scans via our future prediction engines, then wrote code which does cool things but is highly dependent on weird implementation quirks.
