World's First Patented Unhackable Computer Ever

detaro 7y ago
"Interesting" pitch ... "patented", "In my research, I found out that all the PC manufacturers follow the IBM Personal computer design that IBM came out with in the 1980s.", hardware designed and custom operating system written in 3 months, absolutely no details about what it'll do differently, ... I wonder if that's a strategy to make money: sell something with preposterous security claims, so a bunch of security people will jump at buying one to prove you wrong. Should probably a bit more realistic for that.

  > sell something with preposterous security claims, so a bunch of security people will jump at buying one to prove you wrong. my first feeling too. title alone is already going to outrage the infosec community. it'll lead to discussion and condemnation, and that drives traffic ... some will come to his defense and point to "oh but he has a patent" ... then the discussion will splinter further into sub-threads about the merits of the US patent system or whether patents make sense for cash-strapped founders. Once there is enough traction other would-be con-artists (the Craig Wright types) jump in to defend him or at least amplify the message on social media (maybe even John Mcafee will invest). I can't tell if the kickstarter campaign was written by a child or a mentally ill person. The patent immediately shaves off 20 IQ points from anyone reading.

"Where did the idea come from? In a dream. " Yep. And a dream it shall remain. And what's up with the cringy video presentation?

I find the website particularly amusing - it appears the "specs" are just copied from those of a Macbook https://microsafex.com/ https://microsafex.com/

Apple claims their computers and OS are "secure by design" (their own words) and it helps sell computers. https://www.apple.com/business/resources/docs/macOS_Security_Overview.pdf https://www.apple.com/business/resources/docs/macOS_Security...
