Re: Byte Addressability And Beyond

... every day that comes by, another activity is made virtually
impossible without allowing such arbitrary code on your device.  🙁

If you’re talking about WASM or JavaScript from websites, that runs in a
carefully-designed sandbox.

The sandbox gives you only a very crude amount of control.
In practice it's still basically code over which you have no control
(beside "do I run it or not").

And your sandbox wants to provides access to a large part of your
machine's hardware anyway, in order to be able to run the many "web
applications".  So, it comes with many "carefully-designed" holes.
And that's without counting hardware and software bugs.
