Precursor is focused on applications that prioritize evidence-based trust over everything else. Thus it's envisioned that it could be useful for applications such as password managers, authentication token generation, secure comms and crypto wallets; but given its high price point it only makes sense for individuals at-risk to use it.

Thus it's overkill for your average user, but if you're a comptroller with million-dollar signature authority on corporate bank accounts or a journalist operating in hostile situations it could be worth the cost.

i suppose "a journalist operating in hostile situations" should be better served by some kind of "steganographic solution", then a pretty shiny Precursor

otherwise, i wouldn't bet he'll come back with all the nails he had in the beginning (maybe if it's disguised as some kind of "stupid" appliance"..)
