Ok to recap. You assumed you needed to turn off the computer to install PCIe. You learned PCIe is hot pluggable. You assumed the card had to be plugged into the target machine, you learned it did not.
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
