This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yeah the cheapest way, too bad the rpi 4/5 and future versions make it possible to write to the eeprom. Atleast it sounds like the newer ones have a way to make it write protected via a jumper or something.

Sure, but I mean the chances of someone creating a virus specifically to run when plugged into a pi running pi OS or other Linux os with the purpose of attacking the eeprom, delivered by dropping usb sticks in public is so ridiculously small it has to be functionally non existent.

Could be a USB killer, it'll fry your PC no matter what it's running.

That's also what I was originally thinking about.
