When the Telescope stepper motors suddenly start playing 8bit music

For years now I've made all my passwords in Latin as I'm yet to see a dictionary with Latin in it. This meme hit me hard.

Aren't star name public?

Yes, and they make for awful passwords as a result. Ergo... Are stepper motors an instrument?

No 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.

(I know, I was spelling it out for the person above me, also referencing Patrick Star)

Thanks, I didn't realise that it was a dictionary attack meme.

Basically 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
