    _electronics_ are hard. I always remember back to one of my electrical engineering labs... The oscilloscopes were sensitive enough that someone walking past them was visible on the scope. Really, any motion near it. It was especially funny when we were trying to figure out why a particular experiment wasn't working (we couldn't pick up any signal from our circuit at all), yet we could pick up noise from movement around the scope. Turns out the scope had a faulty BNC connector... It was very frustrating at the time, but many humorous memories in the decades since.

  With the CVE date being a day after this blog post, and ~17 years after the actual vulnerability. Filing a CVE for this seems like a bit of a cheap gag (and i enjoy cheap gags). Is there any real practical value in filing a CVE with this little detail, this long after the fact?

    Maybe manufacturers will check to see if they are still vulnerable or enterprises using old technology. If it were just a blog post, nobody would probably know about it.

    Historical records should never be underestimated just by assuming they don't look too "practical" nowadays.
