    Say I’m restarting my phone, and it uses details like temperature fluctuations in CPU sensors as entropy. How would you know all the required values? Since I’m holding the phone in my hand, the temperature of my hand (and consequently body temperature) are relevant, not to mention the air around my phone. How would you find those values at the exact time the sensors are read?

      You honestly think those values aren’t possible to estimate within a range then brute force?

      That’s like asking “say I hit a button at a very specific time, how would you find that exact time?”
