Well no. I already knew PCIe could be hot plugable and also knew it usually is not. expresscard on the other hand always is, I just forgot it existed and didn't think the device in question would work with that. Brain initially says: PCIe attack implies desktop which doesn't have hotplug implies this is irrelevant. :) > I was just pointing out why you made those false assumptions and then > wrongly designated the information as irrelevant. > > Its because I didn't explicitly describe what was so obvious in the video. > > I'd normally politely say my bad but in this case I think not. If I had watched the video from the start initially it might have helped. Unfortunately youtube helped and made the link you posted start at a few minutes from the end. Youtube can be annoying at times. And yes the "over usb3" comment did give the wrong initial impression. In the end it does seem like a neat trick. -- Len Sorensen --- Talk Mailing List [email protected] https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
