What I am showing you is I already answered your question, you fail at reading comprehension, or you fail at comprehending the very concepts themselves. Probably the latter.
> that could solve a real problem, while adding its own drawbacks.
It already solved a real problem. I have asked you repeatedly to specify a real-world drawback other than the physical profile (which the users find tolerable), you have not done this successfully.
> Focus on the specific value proposition
We already did this, and delivered.
> arguing against mainstream advice
Mainstream advice in the security world is, to consider a device secure:
- do not run binary blobs in kernel space
- do not run binary blobs in higher-privileged cores on the board
The concept that something running in userspace can not protect users when 1.] the host OS is already compromised (binary blobs in kernel space) and 2.] underlying "hardware" is already compromised (via firmware on higher privileged cores, similar to Intel ME/AMT) is EXTREMELY MAINSTREAM.
> appeals to authority like "Very rich people and their families already have these kinds of solutions" does not make for a compelling argument.
But this WAS NOT MY ARGUMENT. My argument, as posted here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42557398, was:
Very rich people and their families already have these kinds of solutions. Other people who are rich in other ways (hacker's mind and motivation) also already have these kinds of solutions.
> their own bespoke solutions
The pattern was standardized over a decade ago. Our own implementation is already standardized with enough units in production that it's not bespoke anymore.
> that survive through lack of scrutiny.
If you were capable of implementing this solution on your own, which you have already effectively admitted you are not, then scrutiny from someone like yourself would be worth more than two rat shits, but you can not, so it is not.
At this point, you are clearly a midwit intelligent enough to comprehend what I have posted, but you still continue to post utter garbage. And ultimately I perceive you as a moderately mentally ill fucking moron.
