Hi, Gniibe. I'm happy to get your opinion.

I read it again and find he just described notes electromagnetic radiation.  There appears no word like TEMPEST nor side channel attack. I may confuse discussion. Accept apologies.

In short, We had better making sure "directly" connecting my PC and the Gunk token before worrying about remote inference. Right?

I become feeling peaceful. :)
