The specific epithet is derived from Latin echo which has the same meaning as the English word.
gollark: It would also have active cooling fans powerful enough to fly and a battery life of 20 minutes. I say go for it.
gollark: Great, that makes my hypothetical kind of ridiculous attack not work.
gollark: The more significant issue is that the modem knows roughly where you are, and can (being a modem) make calls and texts.
gollark: And obviously a modem, being a modem, is meant to have network access.
gollark: I mean, I assume it's still powering up the relevant USB devices.
