A DVD Drive Tray Rolls Physical Dice to Generate “True Random” Numbers
ディスクトレイによる真の乱数生成装置v1 | ProtoPedia
kimu-ryo's “True Random Number Generator Using a Disc Tray v1” uses the opening and closing motion of a DVD drive tray to physically roll a die. Because the result comes from an actual physical event, it serves as a source of randomness rather than a software pseudo-random sequence.
The ProtoPedia page highlights the simplicity of controlling the tray, and a v2 is being developed to return the die automatically after each roll. A computer component has effectively been reassigned to the ancient computational technique of throwing dice.
Instead of making the random-number algorithm smarter, the solution is to make a DVD drive physically roll dice. That's a dramatic return to hardware.
