++ FOSS hardware should be a thing. +
++ Intel and AMD are pretty popular + + companies + + and so like most companies they're evil. +For example + + Intel ME + + and + + AMD PSP + + , +they're basically low-level spyware, and not like you can easily disable it. +Normal users won't be able to do it properly and even experienced computer nerds +too, it's really finicky and I only saw few people on the internet do it, well at least for Intel. +
++ As far as I'm aware for Intel CPUs you have to +
++ And for AMD it's a bit easier +
++ Both Intel ME and AMD PSP have LOADS of CVEs, the ironic thing is that +they're supposed to be secure... +
++ They are terrible, just built in CVEs and spyware, not even open source. +It's all proprietary... They use + + security through obscurity + + which has never ended well... +
++++ What do I even mean by "FOSS hardware"? +
+
+ Etc. +
++++ FOSS hardware. +
+
+ Now after reading this you probably now understand why I want FOSS hardware. +There's no real alternatives to Intel and AMD spyware so we have to deal with it, +so FOSS hardware would +
++ Like imagine having probably no issues on FOSS operating systems +and not needing to live in a world where EVERYTHING you do is spied on you +on a very low, hardware, level. +
++++ In general FOSS +
+
+ As I see Linux growing more and more I feel like the next +logical step is FOSS hardware, Linux lacks that a bit, it would be amazing to have something that +you can trust and see what it does on every level. +
++ To conclude +
++++ AMD and Intel are weird and just as bad as any other companies +known for their spyware, just that Intel ME and AMD PSP is not +as talked about +
