I like to live dangerously.  Don't imitate everything you see on TV,
or read about on lkml.

More seriously, that's true if you're running trinity as root, which
yes, I usually advise people only do in qemu etc.

If you're running it as a regular user and you can brick the board,
you might have bigger problems.
