- millerm 13y agoI'm just playing devil's advocate here... Your argument for "open software/hardware" doesn't apply here. There was an exploit found in almost 6+ year old hardware/software. Has nothing to do with the fact if it is open or not. "Open" != "non-exploitable" || "flawless". Edited for bad boolean.
- jdiez17 13y agoOpen doesn't mean it's flawless. Open means you get more eyeballs on your designs, increasing the chance of catching a mistake.
