How do lava lamps help with Internet encryption?
- minejerik 3y agoThis is an interesting solution. My question would be, why couldn't they just point a camera out into the street? That would have some more randomness.
- mytailorisrich 3y agoBecause a big part of their solution is marketing/PR and a wall of lava lamps looks cool. (Edit: Also not sure pointing a camera at the street is that random)
- minejerik 3y agoFair enough.
- numeromancer 3y agoIs this a trial run for an April 1 article?
- raverbashing 3y agoYeah the lava lamps are a gimmick Every processor built in the last 9 years has support for this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDRAND https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RDRAND Or, you know, if you crank up the mic-in input gain on any PC you can get more randomness (even without a mic plugged in)
