    I’m going to be a pedant, and point out it was an unsecured box, with a penguin in it, which knocked the controls.

      Weird way to say the on-board computer is Linux based, but ok. Link to the CVE?

      Yeah but unsecured box doesn’t generate clicks

      Yeah but would the box have slipped without the penguin in it? We need more penguin box experiments I think.

        Could this be a Schroedinger’s penguin situation?
