As the title states, this is a thread to converse about Open Source hardware without any NSA, FSB or Chinese backdoors. What options might we have in the future and what options are available at the moment that are fully auditable against government-imposed backdoors?

    Probably not, i think the best you can do is choose which state is gonna have the backdoor into your device. In which case i’d pick the proletarian state of China over a bourgeois state. Hardware has to be made by someone somewhere, it doesn’t get created in a void, and depending on where the manufacturer is located they will be subject to the political pressures of their respective state. States will always have a vested interest in having as much access as possible.
