| schestowitz | <blockquote> | Nov 24 07:12 |
| schestowitz | <p>Hardware security is a multi-faceted problem. First, there is the question of “can I trust this piece of hardware was built correctly?”; specifically, are there implants and back doors buried in the hardware? We refer to this as the “supply chain problem”. It is a particularly challenging problem, given the global nature of our supply chains, with parts pulled from the four corners of the world, passing | Nov 24 07:12 |
| schestowitz | through hundreds of hands before reaching our doorstep. Precursor addresses this problem head-on with open, verifiable hardware: the keyboard, display, and motherboard are easy to access and visually inspect for correct construction. No factory or third-party tool is ever trusted with secret material. Precursor is capable of generating its own secret keys and sealing them within the hardware, without additional tools.</p></blockquote></ | Nov 24 07:12 |

| schestowitz | That would be a trade-off, messing up the layout of some past articles. | Nov 24 08:12 |

| schestowitz | Yes, and either way patching something that's end of life in a matter of months might not be worth the risk. Better to start with a newer OS. And that takes a lot of work. | Nov 24 08:21 |
| schestowitz | I'm waiting for the newly-provisioned machine to be dealt with. | Nov 24 08:21 |
