More commonly, voltage glitching does rely on removing capacitors etc., and extremely precise timing (nanosecond resolution, or below). However, the fun part about this particular …

Gaming performance usually comes down to graphics drivers.

I'd much prefer a slightly dry but genuine personality, than a hyperactive and fake "youtuber personality". The content speaks for itself. He generally takes safety pretty seriousl…

Just because it appeals to nature, doesn't make it good. While I agree it was likely lighthearted, that does not exempt it from criticism.

I don't take issue with anything listed in your comment. The comment I was originally replying to described: a) Bypassing their own code review processes. b) Creating a contributor…
