A huge percentage of laptops have intel microchips. It's no less safe than them.

Awesome. I'm very surprised i've never heard of this kaptop before. I wonder if it'll sell well or if only linux fans buy it. Right now I don't think the general public cares about open sourcing.

TL;DR; still not safe {{they}} can access your cpu directly using gsm frequencies to open a backdoor.

I like it. Smart idea maybe paired with Blackphone. Innovation should be matched with security these days.

I checked that promotional website and I see that it is not spacial hardware at all, it is just fancy laptop with modified software... It is not awesome at all, we can achieve same effect with TOR and LINUX. They needed 250k for that? I am not impressed.
