    If only we had open source hardware to run that open source software on, then it could actually be trusted. Until you control the hardware, you shouldnt consider it safe.

      If only there were multiple independent 3rd party non-profit organizations that have only their own reputation to uphold, and who’s findings are verified by thousands of independent reaearchers, to review hardware and check for backdoors.

        Hey, if those multiple independent 3rd party non-profit orgs can do those audits for Apple, they can also do them for random hardware!

            In the end, you are trusting a profit-seeking corporation to protect your data and conduct themselves in an ethical and honest way.

            Oh, on me, I thought we were talking about closed source hardware. Im sure when you said this, this wasnt meant exclusively towards Apple.
