Does your motherboard's BIOS allow flashing custom firmware? How about the firmware for the flash controller on a USB stick? If that's your standard, virtually nobody has owned a device in the past 15 years.

I was more talking about kernels and userland binaries - if I couldn't disable UEFI SecureBoot or load my own keys I wouldn't use it.

But yes, if you want to completely trust your hardware you're probably going to be using an old Thinkpad X200 with coreboot - shame about that Intel Microcode though, eh?

Mine does -- I have an X200 I freed myself using a beaglebone.

But you are right: no-one has properly owned their own devices since the 80s because no-one can verify them using primary sources.
