Comment on Code that will only execute once

Comments

Damaging the 'environment' was allowed, so it's disappointing not to see any code that tries to disable or destroy the hardware by:

* Overheating or overvolting the CPU, GPU or other components

* Erasing boot firmware or boot settings stored in flash memory (and rebooting)

I know there are protection mechanisms, which may be impossible to circumvent, but you can try...

There was the HCL (halt-and-catch-fire) opcode as a submission...

That opcode promises so much, but delivers so little :/
