Why the switch, though? You can check the news and take quick photos on an Android, too; The vast majority of Android phones aren't being used for tinkering.

Yup, and you feel static charge when it's plugged in, too.

I think this is confusing undefined behavior with behavior of something that is undefined. And either way, the C standard explicitly applies to C programs, so even this cute "textualist" interpretation would be wrong, IMO.

The "[...] executing that program with that input [...]" part maybe could be read as making it specific to a given UB triggering execution; but I'm no language lawyer :).
