while this is not real, something similar in principal very much was! (but not too widespread)

see here or look up “casino dos malware”

uh in short it erases “the disk’s” (unsure which) file allocation table (pretty much the dos/windows version of a superblock). apparently some versions did copy it to memory and give the user a chance though!

i’d personally liken it more to one of those flat pack jeeps. with a little technical know-how you can get something decently barebones going, of course with ample opportunity for fun!!

kit cars do vary, and there are some that would fit this pretty well, but i’d say much of them are like linux from scratch if anything.

you get a list of parts and stuff, and some instructions on putting it together, but at the end of the day (realistically past that and into the early morning in my experience with LFS :3) the builder is much relied on for the actual customization and patching of everything together!

and they are each all awesome in their own right :)

i find this a surprisingly elegant solution!!!

it’s nice and simple to put in place, and if you have this class of audio equipment at your whim, you probably have something to scavenge the copper from

copper does oxidize, but so long as it can trade broker enough electrons around, i’m definitely making use of this idea in the future, thank you for the post
