What recent computer hardware do you trust?
- yogthos 7y agoLibrem is probably the most trust worthy at the moment.
- PascLeRasc 7y agoSystem76 ships laptops with Intel ME disabled and provides an open-source firmware update tool. I'm a huge fan of them.
- watersb 7y agoSlightly trust Intel-CPU Chromebook hardware. I have yet to become allergic to Google snooping but understand that lack of trust to be very well founded. I think I understand their secure boot architecture, though. Whereas I simply cannot trust Windows Secure Boot based vendor firmware. Apple iOS devices. Their macOS Intel computers are about as trustworthy as Chromebook Intel. Not-so-recent ThinkPad laptops with OpenBoot BIOS are ok. But. All of these devices have radios with each their own, black-box operating systems. I don't know how to develop a basis for trust there. So I am left with very few alternatives.
