Nitrokey article improvement: https://twitter.com/grapheneos/status/1651601840520278018

> Per our request, NitroKey has fixed one of the main issues in nitrokey.com/news/2023/smar…. XTRA downloads are done by xtra-daemon in the OS, not firmware. It also does use HTTPS by default, but the OS can override the default URLs via gps.conf and some OSes do override to HTTP URLs ... NitroKey is correct that xtra-daemon has support for sending information on the device including device model, serial number, etc. They're also correct that the user is never asked about it. It's less of an issue than SUPL which sends nearby cell towers, phone number and IMSI.
