Given that there appear to be plenty of overseas sellers that will happily counterfeit a UL stamp, or copy an entire product - including UL stamp - but with different innards, how would we even know at this point?

Security products of this nature need to be tight with the kernel in order to actually be effective (and prevent actual rootkits).
That said, the old mantra of "with great power" comes to mind...
Anon should write and then narrate some D&D audiobooks for kids!
Yeah, I'd tend to agree on that. Even beyond the security issues, nuclear has the potential to be a safe, but it also has the potential to be disastrous if mis-managed.
We see plenty of issues like this already, including what occurred here: https://world-nuclear.org/information-library/safety-and-security/safety-of-plants/fukushima-daiichi-accident
Now imagine a plant in Texas, where power companies response to winter outages has basically been "sucks to be you, winterizing is too costly".
Or maybe we'd like to go with a long-time trusted company, who totally wouldn't throw away safety and their reputation for a few extra bucks. Boeing comes to mind.
I like nuclear as a power source, but the absolutely needs to be immutable rules in place to ensure it is properly managed and that anyone attempting to cut corners to save costs gets slapped down immediately. Corporate culture in North America seems to indicate otherwise.
Literally one of the very few things keeping me with a Windows partition, though it doesn't get used very often
Or how bumblebee did an "rm -rf" on uninstall without a quoted path, which ended up nuking important directories
Honestly I think it's generally more of a bus driver issue, because it seems more tied to the motherboard than a given device
Yeah, I've had more than a few chipsets or periphs that worked on Windows, and worked on Linux but were.... quirky, especially when dealing with stuff like suspend states etc.
For USB3 in particular, I've found many storage devices or adaptors like to drop out partway through an longer copy process on Linux (like they'll be fine for copying a smaller amount of data, but the controller or device would reset during longer ones). This didn't seem to occur in Windows, but I'm pretty sure the copy process was also slower so guessing it's some sort of buffer or heat quirk that 'nix didn't account for in the more generic driver
Yeah. I'll admit I got a bit excited at the idea that Blackberry might consider entering the mini-computer market and make a pi-type device.
Yeah, was gonna say: it's not just the competition, spams, scams, and trolls are a real issue.
I assume you meant raspberry pi-zero and not blackberry?
Which worked with physical stores but with Amazon where you have 100+ sellers hawking the same defective PoS under 100+ unpronouncable brand-names
