Sure, but if you run OpenWRT you can pick the radio firmware image. And you can trust Qualcomm cause they're from San Diego and made Eudora; their firmware won't have intentional security issues.

And yet American products are the only ones we've ever had hard evidence on wrt intentional security issues in collaboration with US Intelligence.

Comparing US intelligence to the other bad actor intelligence is wild - like comparing a paper cut to AIDS.

For now, at least.

The US intelligence apparatus is the GOAT of overthrowing foreign governments. They love it so much they even sometimes come back and overthrow the puppet regime they put in place a few years earlier (or just bomb the shit out of the civilians).

If it isnt AIDS then it is certainly a Cancer.
