The most worrying thing I found about this article is the seriousness of the review - as if the pseudoscience is real and the review is checking if the fake device works against the fake science.
This is very worrying it made it into the BBC.
- lb1lf 6y ago-I read it more like the BBC trying to keep the reporting neutral to a tee while still leaving no doubt (to anyone but the most ardent believer in quackery) that this device is a scam. Decidedly British, I'd say.
- speedgoose 6y agoI think the article makes a lot of fun about the product and is obviously described as a funny and expensive scam between the lines : "So what's different between it and a virtually identical 'crystal' USB key available from various suppliers in Shenzhen, China, for around £5 per key?" asks Ken Munro, whose company, Pen Test Partners, specialises in taking apart consumer electronic products to spot security vulnerabilities. And the answer appears to be a circular sticker. "Now, we're not 5G quantum experts but said sticker looks remarkably like one available in sheets from stationery suppliers for less than a penny each," he says.
- dhsysusbsjsi 6y agoOh I totally missed the humour here. I guess we are bombarded with so much idiocracy now that it’s hard to tell spoof comedy from real news.
