Why is it that true random number generation is virtually impossible for current computers to achieve? I build and fix computer hardware as part of my living, but I still don’t understand this. Please explain?

Think of it this way: Computers just follow the instructions given. The same software, given the same input, will always have the same output.
So whatever a computer will produce will have order to it. This is fundamentally why it’s not possible for a computer to generate truly random data.
