Not everyone is a leet open source enthusiast lisp-loving kernel-compiling hacker.
People go to the shop down the block, pick a product from the shelf and they are done with it.
This doesn't make them deserving of backdoors.
"Bought the wrong brand of car ... you had that accident coming"
"Visited the wrong doctor ... you had it coming"
"Ate food at the wrong restaurant ... had it coming"
Not everyone is going to be an expert in every field. This is not how a modern society works.
- nickik 9y agoWhile I agree with you. You can just buy a product with Open Source software. Those exists but not for every possible product you might want. That said, for Hardware this does not yet work, and firmware is of course another problem. Lets hope for a better future.
