Not my air-gapped again, but my phone is indeed interfered with to dissuade me from posting. Thanks for the concern.

I'm going to put this nicely, so please take it in the constructive spirit intended -- serious claims require serious evidence to be believed. And a scattering of news articles or videos are not serious evidence.

I truly believe you're very concerned about all the things you talk about, but if you want to convince people to also believe then there needs to be more from your side.

And no, suggesting that people perform ptychographic x-ray laminography on their chips isn't a practical suggestion.

Fine with me. Evidence is better when people collect it themselves. If someone isn't willing to have their own air-gapped system, ask how they could bring about the same results that I found and carry experiments accepting the risks, they aren't properly looking for scientific knowledge and I am fine with them ignoring my claims.

People with willingness and means can find me anyways.
