- antonvs 6y agoThe idea of a thermostat using its own detected temperature as a random input to help set the temperature would be horrifying, if I weren't already convinced that that's how mine works.
- GuB-42 6y agoIt is actually a true RNG. Thermal noise, or whatever is messing up with your thermostat can be used as a source of entropy by hardware RNGs.
