>open hardware being used on a proprietary macbook

what's the point, it's backdoored the moment you plug it in

>Open hardware is rather hard to make, do you think that it will come from our governments ?

They definitely have to invest in projects like this one to stop the rampant intellectual proprety theft that's killing our industries, so let's hope they take the issue seriously instead of just trusting China and the US like dumb fucks.

How is Open Hardware supposed to function? With Open Source I can download the source code, verify it, and build it myself. But when it comes to hardware, how many people have the ability to produce silicon wafers in their bedroom appartement?

>>1068031

That's exactly the point. You don't trust host, so you run security code on separate hardware (which you trust). Host cannot leak keys, host cannot sabotage encryption, host cannot access what was not granted by trusted device, etc.

More about open documentation and non running non-free (blob) firmware. Someone with the knowledge can use clip chip adapters to read the contents of the firmware.

This also allows major chips /pcbs to be replaced for people with the right gear

>>1068087

I feel like free/open hardware is actually better and makes more sense of in the world of making money, if you open source your hardware, the only way you can get cucked is by not making the hardware you created cheaper than the other guy trying to cuck your sales. Where as free and open source software tends to lead a lot of software to be free of charge

This sounds eerily similar to how the TPM backdoor bullshit was advertised.

>>1068171

That's because its what the intent of the TPM stuff was, but for mossad/the kikes or whoever controlled the TPM i.e not you. It was so that copyright holders in the USA, or the kikes, could actively and securely take over the trusted part of the computer and delete or stop content on your part of the computer the untrusted part.

Why are you not trusted with your own computer? Because its not yours, you own nothing goyim.jpg. You could have something like TPM establishing a root of trust, or you could only run trusted software doing things you understand on open hardware and tell everything else to fuck off.

If you have ever studied USB flash memory your would realise how laughably easy it is to hide a backdoor on dead sectors in the flash itself that you would never see without a ROM flash of a sorts. There's fully FOSS hardware and software for implementing SSD's however. But not HDD's.....

>>1068150

The kikes can already print USD or YAUN or EUROS in whatever amount they want by pressing CTRL+P. The point isn't to make money it is to enslave your mind and your body by dependence upon their hardware and software

>>1068171

TPM would be absolutely fine if we had control over it by default via some kind of hardware key bundled with every mobo, we could flash it, its firmware was completely open source. Imagine being able to boot Windoze, but completely cucking its access to LAN, drives, other partitions, or even certain ranges of memory addresses.

>>1068303

It's not a flash drive, it's a hard drive disk with USB. It should be safe imo

>>1068028 (OP)

>It also automatically encrypts itself

Too bad it's illegal in France to encrypt anything at all (you have to give up the password, or you'll simply end up in prison until you give it out).

Now, an open source HDD that auto-encrypt, sounds too good to be true.

>>1068080

This fucking pic kek

>Will it be trustable if another vendor sells it ? As it's open harware, they could easily modify it to spy on you.

The openness of hardware is orthogonal to trust. This will always be true so long as you can't verify the hardware without destroying it.

Go back to making baguette.
