  • I was looking for something that I’m confident doesn’t spy at the hardware level.

    I used Thinkpads as an example because after the early 2010 ones, they got those weird i7 (I believe) processors and we don’t know much of what they do but some speculate they record keystrokes and phone data home.

    What PC can you trust has good hardware in privacy? I don’t want to buy a PC and run Linux, trying my best, and the thing spies at the hardware level.





  • Yk, I’ll play devils advocate and say that I see the good in this. People with disabilities will finally be able to do things.

    But, governments will definitely love this. And the proprietary technology would definitely be spying on people, no surprise there.

    I’m really afraid it could become a mandate to get in the future (gotta learn how to survive in the woods.)

    So overall, it has good potential but would definitely be used for harm. I think it’s a net negative.
