About Cesare Garlati

This is my personal blog about disruptive technology trends such as cyber security, open source processors, and the Internet of Things. It's full of my reasoned opinions, some of which will turn out to be absolutely wrong. You should not rely on anything in this blog for any reason other than for amusement.

This blog occasionally quotes excerpts from other publications, in which case it is done under Fair Use. I despise copyright trolls and think the EFF is due for sainthood any day now.

I am the founder of Hex Five Security and an active member of the RISC-V Foundation: some of my writing will appear here too if it's relevant. The opinions here are mine and mine alone, and are not representative of any professional organizations I belong to.

Comments are unmoderated. Say what's on your mind, be direct, speak the truth, etc., I'll try to keep all your comments ...

Happy reading!
