Personnel

gollark: Or have tiny holes in dies to run nonconductive liquid through or something.
gollark: I was thinking more about the fact that you can meddle with its functioning using magnets and whatnot.
gollark: That seems like an issue of the actual processing it's doing (though I don't think there's a consensus on what exactly hypnosis is and how it works), instead of the hardware.
gollark: I'm not sure I would trust my brain to computers in any case, given the horrible security record of... most complex computer systems... which will likely only get worse as complexity increases. Though I suppose my foolish organic brain has its own (probably not remotely exploitable, at least?) security flaws.
gollark: SSDs are pretty dense. They're just expensive.
