"other than" is doing a lot of lifting.

I once reverse engineered an Android app to figure out how the API works. The website had a legitimate API, free to sign up for, and well documented.

I still reverse engineered the Android app, even if the information was more readily available elsewhere.

This looks relatively simple to play, and pretty interesting. Good reviews on Board Game Geek. I'll have to add this to my shopping list.

> How is this reverse engineered?

You mean other than decompiling the app and reading the code to figure out how it works?

What throughput do you get on those? I worry latency, speed, and whatnot will be impacted without dedicated silicon.

I think it's good to remember this is always the case. Attacks on tamper evident seals are commonly called "theoretical" or "lacking value" in practical terms, but recent customs evasion using counterfeit seals in the US shows that to be untrue.

Heck, The Wire had an arc about people bypassing customs tamper-seal tags.

Yes, that report. There's no nuance to the OC argument - just denial of facts.

The reactionary propaganda of it being "one sided" or not including "Russia in Ukraine" in a report about genocide in Gaza has been common since the report came out.
