With all whats going on. This is a real mess.
I own over one dozen hardware wallets.
I got my favorites, which is air gapped.
But i myself knew about the RNG problem in general. You have to use physical randomness to generate your words. Most hardware wallet sellers solved it with some kind of combination of data or even white noise sensors. Which sounds promising.
But did i check the software/firmware if the process got disabled, no i did not.
The only way that solves this is to roll the dice in the future.
I try to figure out 8 face dices of which you only need 4 to roll one word, which you can look up in the words table.
Then calculate the twelve or 24th word.
So you are not dependent on a software RNG at all.
I need to roll the dice too because i cant trust any software or silicon to generate a random seed.
