I never really understood this logic... it's still closed-source software, it just happens to be unmodifable?
and the CPU is also closed-source software, just "compiled" into gates (synthesised)
- pabs3 5y agoIn this read-only case the manufacturer no longer has write access, just like you don't have write access, so there is more equality between you and the manufacturer. Thats the logic, but I agree it is a bad idea because it incentivises placing firmware into ROM, which cannot be replaced after reverse engineering it.
