this is, decent. The problem here is that it’s almost always easier to reverse engineer a system that’s partially constructed, than it is one that’s completely deconstructed.

You would ideally want to delete ALL software, and ALL hardware running that software, that would be MUCH harder to reverse engineer. Or at the very least, significantly more expensive.

although i imagine building chips to fail is almost an impossible thing. Cpus almost never die, unless you blow them up with too much power lol.
