Then we'd better find ways of fooling or defeating WEI. "Tamper proof" indeed. It's just OS DRM. We've cracked DRM, we can crack this.

- freedomben 3y agoI suspect cracking this will involve attacks like the recent Tesla one that require an extreme amount of technical skill and risk of destroying/damaging the system in the process. Then cue the cat & mouse game. Widespread breaking of it is not going to be remotely practical.
- EvanAnderson 3y agoThe idea of relying on cracks / security flaws to get basic freedom causes me great anxiety. Sure, it can be cracked. It shouldn't have to be because it shouldn't exist to begin with. Meanwhile, arms race being what it will, the freedom gained will be short-lived and can't be relied-upon.
- shrimp_emoji 3y agoMr. Anderson... don't you like the idea of a future where caring about privacy and control means you're marginalized to the sewers of a Matrix arcology, eating nutrient slurry on the Nebuchadnezzar?
- kevincox 3y agoThat sounds like a cat and mouse game that I would rather not play. Look at iOS jailbreaks. They were fairly common early on and still regularly occur. But they are not frequent. Maybe a full jailbreak every year or two. The verifier for WEI can also revoke access to old versions of the software. I don't want to be playing that game to access critical services such as my bank.
