Re: [Trisquel-users] "Million dollar" question concerning the hardware we use

[shiretoko]

It is a very good question; you could provide documentation for your hardware  
which shows that there are no malicious circuits built in and allows people  
to make free software drivers for the device, but after all, no one can  
figure out if your documentation tells really the truth or not.
We would need kind of a microscopy-scanning device which can compare the  
actual micro (or nowadays even nano?) circuits with the documentation.
A real problem. The functionality of the technology we rely on can't be  
checked with our eyes.
