airgapped machines. Here's a good place to start: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempest_(codename) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempest_(codename). I did a demo as an undergrad ~10 years ago playing music on the radio via leaked emissions from my netbook. Didn't have to write a line of code because a complete solution had already been freely available for quite some time.
It's not without value, no, but they've definitely found a formula and are just cranking out variations of that formula as papers. I'd say calling it a paper mill isn't too harsh.
