The commits (code changes) that introduced Coldcard's low entropy bug, changed around 2500 lines of code.
These were changes to the most important parts of their codebase, ensuring that the seeds have enough entropy so that.... your coins don't get stolen.
The code comments for all these changes?
"runs"
and
"x"
Hard to believe, but true.

Every intellectual who invents excuses for mass murder eventually learns the commie regime has no permanent use for useful idiots.
Take Malcolm Caldwell, who spent the 1970s as a University of London Marxist dismissing every report of Khmer Rouge mass murder as Western propaganda and calling their peasant revolution “valid and valuable.”
In December 1978, the regime invited him in as one of the few Westerners allowed since they took power. He left the meeting with Pol Pot euphoric. Hours later, he was shot inside the Phnom Penh guesthouse.
They never said why.

Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson (D): "I deeply appreciate the President taking time... I had the clear sense he understood what was going on. I had the clear sense he had been briefed what was going on. He was knowledgable about the situation, and I appreciated that."

The code wouldn't compile, so the Coldcard dev DISABLED THE HARDWARE RNG (Random Number Generation) to make the error go away.
"From here, I assume in a bout of frustration, he set
Sometimes when developers are flailing, they’ll try random things to see if it helps. Setting
"Simply put: the firmware change overwrites functions that aren’t used when creating a new wallet while, as a side effect of including the python method overrides, turns off the hardware RNG usage in every case, instead using a very weak random number generator.
The final bit of evidence is the commit message itself. It was simply the message “runs.”
Developers, if you are ever in this scenario, please stop. Whatever you’re getting paid is not worth the devastation you might potentially cause for others.
Do not ship code you do not understand."

MICROPY_HW_ENABLE_RNG to 0, which would have resolved the compiler error.Sometimes when developers are flailing, they’ll try random things to see if it helps. Setting
MICROPY_HW_ENABLE_RNG to 0 would have made the compiler error go away ***for the wrong reason***."
"The compiler error was begging the programmer to reconsider his logic. Instead of that happening, the compiler error was just silenced. The compiler was giving the developer one last chance to reconsider what he was about to do, but the alarm was ignored and silenced.
Now everything is lining up. It looks like the developer tried to override the variable, but ran into conflicting definitions. When confronted with a “duplicate symbol” error, tried changing random things to get the code to run.
He discovered that changing MICROPY_HW_ENABLE_RNG` to 0 made it compile. He probably had no idea why but came up with a theory.""Simply put: the firmware change overwrites functions that aren’t used when creating a new wallet while, as a side effect of including the python method overrides, turns off the hardware RNG usage in every case, instead using a very weak random number generator.

In US data over the past decade, a tenth of men accounted for 60% of female sexual partnerships.
The obvious problem is that most women will not be able to have a long-term relationship with these few men and so end up single. 3/5

A naked guy jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge and somehow lived
Man climbed all the way up the north tower, planted a bunch of flags like he was claiming the place, then got fully naked in front of everyone watching below.
Cops came to talk him down. He looked at them and just sent it straight into the East River.
Here's the kicker: you watch this entire circus and figure there's no way this guy is stable... then the hospital goes and lists him in stable condition
Peak New York, and nobody even knows what the flags said.
