Is $7.59 cheap enough?

For that you get a USB audio adapter with mike jack, and
then you can run turbid(tm) to produce high-quality randomness.
Does anyone know of a cheap USB random number source?
As a meandering comment, it would be extremely good for us if we had
cheap pocket random number sources of arguable quality [1].
I've often thought that if we had an open source hardware design of
a USB random number generator ... that cost

It should be doable as just a RNG device for a BOM of a few tens of USD.
There are at least of couple of SoCs on the market which advertise USB
One attack on services, which use personal questions as a backup
form of user verification, works well for high-profile users of
these systems. The attack is very simple. Go into the password
recovery page, and use Google to look up the answers to the
personal questions asked. There is enough

Bill Of Materials -- cost of the raw hardware
System on (a) Chip -- microchip with CPU, RAM, FLASH, etc
USB A Plug -- physical flat-four interface; think USB key drive
