- Daneel_ 8y agoVery true! There's also potential side-channel attacks regarding noise in the power supply (example: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1801.00932.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/1801.00932.pdf), so it's definitely not a guarantee of safety. Best to open it up for inspection, then destroy it. There's not a lot of room inside the body, by the looks of it, but there could still be plenty of fun stuff hidden in there anyway. Thinking logically though: due to the public nature of the release, it might actually just be a fan..
