- burgerbrain 15y agoI believe this is technically local code execution, not remote. It's not like you can do this unless you have access to the device (the browser apparently doesn't allow it, and I can't imagine you can remotely make the device play an MP3).

- burgerbrain 15y agoAssuming arbitrary code can brick it, yes. That is my impression. That's still not "remote" though.
