I respect your opinion on this. We sought to build hardware that is a significant step up from what is available on the market today in terms of access control and tamper protection. We also open source the BIOS and customize it the most we can afford to minimize the ME capability thanks to Eltan's help. Secure cannot be an absolute state, it can only be temporary... till the 1st one finds a way to get in. Execution of non-auditable code is what we deal with on nearly every machine on the market. We are minimizing this, while still staying compatible with peoples use models. We are as open and transparent as we can legally be. In our plan, this is only one step in the direction of taking back control of the machines we all are working on and want to trust completely. https://www.orwl.org/wiki/index.php?title=File:SowDESIGN-SHI...
