I think hackers are not ready for the idea that unhackable hardware might actually be here. Hardware that will never have an exploit found someday, never be jailbroken, never have piracy, outside of maybe nation-state attacks.

Xbox One, 2012? Never hacked.

Nintendo Switch 2, 2025? According to reverse engineers... flawlessly secure microkernel and secure monitor built over the Switch 1 generation. Meanwhile NVIDIA's boot code is formally verified this time, written in the same language (ADA SPARK) used for nuclear reactors and airplanes, on a custom RISC-V chip.

iPhone? iOS 17 and 18 have never been jailbroken; now we introduce MIE.

Unhackable and backdoored. Operation Triangulation would have been impossible without Apple backdooring their own hardware.
