Imho, there's a big difference between supply chain attacks on core Cisco routers vs USB hubs. These attacks are not easy or cheap, and by their very nature need to be deployed in small % of total installs (as every use increases the l

$299/month sounds pretty reasonable if it does what it says on the tin. That's $3.6k/year. You don't need to make up many development hours before you've paid that back. And it seems like there's good opportuni

Exactly. The root issue is that the US doesn't attach a dollar value to privacy. Which is to say that if I have {personally identifiable information}, I have no innate {dollar risk} to holding it, outside of specific protected classes

From memories of electromag, field coupling from current in parallel cables decays with 2*pi*r, no? So it seems there would be a fair amount of difference at extremely low separation distances. But we never worked through high frequency EE
