- natch 11y agoExcept I never said the device was secure.
- xg15 11y agoWhat do you mean then with "better option"?
- natch 11y agoI mean it's a more trustworthy and less sketchy product than one from a company that installs back doors, and which comes from a country with a draconian political system and utterly idiotic government policies regarding back doors. Australia probably has some idiotic policies too, but China is a world leader in stupid when it comes to government interference with user privacy and human rights, so that sets the tone, intentionally or not, with companies there that this kind of thing is OK. So, yes, the better option would be to buy from a company based in a more open, more relatively democratic, society with better respect for users and their rights. And, Homeboy has a bug bounty program for people who uncover and report security problems, so, there's that. So, that's what I mean. Did that clear it up for you xg15?
