Open hardware would be awesome if more people took it seriously, it's so unnatainable today financially for most.

BIOS, boot and CPUs are already quite insecure for the operator today. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpXkJqTAY5Y https://libreboot.org/faq.html https://github.com/unnideeraj/article_backdoor https://hackaday.com/2024/08/18/reverse-engineering-the-amd-...

These are decades old, known vulnerabilities. So you can extrapolate the more clever, hidden exploits.

It first takes getting our colleauges/people to care about not buying backdoored products - knowledge of these is pretty low and people don't flock to alternatives :/
