I completely agree on the Klein and Snowden thing. But given all that
bullshit, I'm not sure that the buggy features of this or that chip are worth
debating.
If they're pulling a copy of all our traffic (and it seems clear that they
are), then running a compromised chip is only represents a minor improvement
in their ability to look in on you.
So if it's privacy you're after, the only way to get there is to type things
into any computer you like ... but only after you've ripped out the ethernet
and wireless and completely disconnected that box, so that there is no
traffic.
The military-industrial autocrats have put us in a situation where the
solution to this problem no longer exists for the average person on the
technological side.
The only true remedies remaining to us are political.
