It would be amazing to plot the 2.4 GHz amplitude vs. time series plot of this exploit.

Think about it, an ocean of electrons in the copper WiFi antenna bump along with a certain guiding EM wave and in so doing, they inadvertently cause the information moving electrons in the silicon crystal to disconnect from the electrons being pushed out of the Li-ion battery.

This amplitude fluctuation in principal could have been broadcast by motions of stars in the universe, as astronomy does peer into the deep with these frequencies [0].

In the future, one could imagine a bad actor with control over a global network of low orbit satellites spewing out this code for decades preventing the such devices from being turned on long enough to receive updates, deactivating billions of dollars of human capital.
