Is it possible for an electronic device to produce truly random numbers? No, it isn't.

Why? Because random does not exist. Everything is deterministic. Random is just a name we give to things that seem to happen arbitrarily, but that really isn't the case.

Unfortunately, We just don't have a good enough understanding of the universe to prove this. Something like that might be quite far off. Though, I believe in less than 500 years Homo sapiens will have been long obsolete.

I still believe nothing is truly "random". We're just too simple to see this. A few steps ahead of chimps. At the bottom of a ladder that leads to a place we could not hope to dream of.

Everything has to unfold a certain way. There is nothing random about it.
