And fwiw, from a respectful disagreement (ALLCAPS) point of view, may I recommend that you temper your use of Pop Mechanics as a technical news source?
In past decades it was a nice Reader’s Digest of technology.
But it seems to have become the CBS Evening News of silly checkout stand nonsense.
A shame. It’s a toy balloon of content. Thin veneer with lighter-than-air inside.
The only sources I can provide are public domain via Google search. However, that is not where I receive my information. Take a clue from Mr. Clarke. He received regular, classified briefings on chip-based espionage.
You have no appreciation of the extent and capabilities of this penetration. Others who’ve received classified briefings do. A very well informed person even wrote a book about it. What more is required?
