This is interesting, but I'd love more details. How is proprietary firmware stripped from the SSDs, for instance? How's the firmware vetted for wifi interfaces?

The SSD firmware is not stripped, but it also does not have any access to the Internet or RAM. AFAIK they use WiFi adapters that use free firmware and drivers.
