minus-squareSemperverus@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·2 months agoYes, and they make for awful passwords as a result. Ergo… Are stepper motors an instrument?
minus-squareenbeelinkfedilinkarrow-up7·2 months agoNo but they can be given instructions that generate tones. The joke is that the star name dict got the pen testers in and they ran code to make the motors generate chiptunes.

minus-squareRustyNova@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 months agoThanks, I didn’t realise that it was a dictionary attack meme.
minus-squareFuglyDuck@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-22 months agoBasically they convert a midi file into gcode and then tune the stepper voltage so they cry bloody murder. sweet, sweet bloody murder (Seriously though, it’s torture on the motors.) (And equally silly? They do the same with floppy drives and hard drives, and stuff
