That approach to disclosure is about discovering vulnerabilities. Talking about something with a published CVE isn't really comparable.

No. Bought in person at a Walmart in like, 2005

I once had a cheap Timex watch die from water ingress after running a track workout during a torrential downpour. At the time I joked that it only failed because we ran farther than the 100m rating

If I remember correctly it's up to the client program to set up the session, not something to do with the vendor's implementation. It's conceptually similar to how an HTTPS client performs a TLS handshake after opening a socket before it can work with plain HTTP content.

Correct, unless you're using a self-encrypting drive the FVEK sits in RAM once it's been released by the TPM during boot. The TPM is only a root of trust; for fast crypto operations without keeping the key in kernel memory you would need something like Intel SGX or ARM TrustZone.

Take a look at Fretboard Theory by Desi Serna - it spends a lot of time on how different scales are constructed and relating different patterns and chord forms back to the underlying concepts.

It’s self-oscillating

When someone asks you if you're a god, you say, "yes!"

Static analyzers are NOT formal methods. Reporting no issues just means your tool didn’t find anything, not that your program is correct.

Never

Greater Appalachia definitely extends through PA in a T shape across the center of the state and the northern border (sometimes called Pennsyltucky) and covers at least the Southern Tier in New York.
