I've spent my holiday break this year learning about open firmware, coreboot, and the secret computer that lives in every computer known as the intel management engine. I hope we can get to a place where we can trust our hardware again, but Intel needs to allow ME to be completely disabled or we need to find a replacement for Intel chips (from what I gather AMD is not much better). My next computer will likely be from Purism (or even a Chromebook, they run open firmware)
