This can be handled a few different ways.

• You can boot from a HDD and then just not ever write data back to it. This would be the most trivial solution, and it's something people do with their Pi's a lot to avoid SD card failure.
• You could network boot, pull the OS from the network at startup. Fun fact, this is how some rockets fly! No onboard persistent storage needed. Everything boots into and runs from ram the whole 10 ish minutes of operation.
• You COULD do a ROM as you suggested, but that's a LOT of ROM. Seems odd to do imho.

I think he stopped because the show gave us his ending and he knows everyone hates it.

Provided the pressure is maintained from the outside, mine would work fine with a match.

Give the rapid churn in their code base these days, I'm gonna press X to doubt that.
