Titled "Can You Get Root With Only a Cigarette Lighter?" This is an interesting hacking thing. Quotes:
>Before you can write an exploit, you need a bug. When there are no bugs, we have to get creative—that's where Fault Injection comes in. Fault injection can take many forms, including software-controlled data corruption, power glitching, clock glitching, electromagnetic pulses, lasers, and more.
>Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago, and the announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2 is on the horizon. We anticipate the Switch 2 will run largely the same system software as the Switch 1, and we're all out of software bugs. So, I was inspired to brush up on my hardware exploitation skills, and revisited my thoughts on low-budget EMFI.
>I decided that the most physically vulnerable part of the laptop was the DDR bus that connects the DRAM memory to the rest of the system.
Here's a video of it:

He has access to a Linux terminal and isn't completely locked out. So the fault injection elevates privileges from normal user to root. The video shows him running "curl parrot.live"; don't run this unless you want your terminal's scrollback to be cleared.
