— for some reason released only just weeks ago — not before someone, looking at the dev kit schematics, pointed out that the Wi-Fi kill switch was kindly asking to turn off instead of actually cutting the power.
If only all things around us actually were what the are labelled…
I don’t see how such an analysis can prove the negative since malicious code can be obfuscated/encrypted/compressed etc. to prevent visual recognition, and unpacked only at runtime. The only way to be sure is to compile and re-flash your own.
That said, what are you saying in a nut shell — that there is no need for us to trust Purism at all as the absence of backdoors can be proved beyond any reasonable doubt, or, in any event, secured by compiling and flashing/installing custom binaries?
If you are not denying that some level of trust is still necessary even with all the glittering tech openness, that’s exactly where my point goes to: that trust, unfortunately, has been ruined by the ongoing bullshit about the L5 USA stock status and delivery timeframes.
