Andrew Helwer on Nostr: Trying to figure out why the privacy framing of sales pitches for open hardware ...

Trying to figure out why the privacy framing of sales pitches for open hardware irritate me. Ex. "Reform has no secret components compromising your privacy" in the video here: https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/reform

Has a secret hardware component ever compromised someone's privacy? What are they referring to? Cellular data chips in smart TVs maybe?

Anyway I think being able to comprehend & modify the tools we use instead of being beholden to their creators is a more powerful framing but less snappy I guess.
