I wish we could eliminate the word “issue” from tech vocabularies. It’s not descriptive and usually indicates that someone doesn’t have a clue.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.
