I wonder how difficult it would be to extract the key from the device. Probably not very.

I also like how they say "no trust", but in reality, you have to trust them (and their entire supply chain).

Edit: from their FAQ: "Can I re-seal after breaking the seal? No. A permanent change is made inside the flash memory of the processor." Oof. Big oof.

It would be interesting and probably a big deal to test this out, I don’t think I have the chops for it but hope to read about it if you (or anyone else) gives it a shot!

I don't either (although I certainly wish I did). I hope someone does too, though.
