I hate that you were downvoted for the unfortunately negative truth. Open
source firmware, with radios seperate from cpus (and seperate DMA), is exactly
what we need for security. All these proprietary peices, half from foreign
countries, are more a threat to "national security" and "cybersecurity" than
just about anything else. They want to pass CISA etc because of cybersecurity
but their actions show levels of incompetence with few bounds.

When is the government going to embrace open source as a basis for security of
users?
