We can’t let the enemy control our semi conductor access. We’ll be working for those bastards if that keeps up.

Fuck Intel. All Intel chips have backdoors. I hope Intel goes straight into the bloody toilet

NSA May Have Backdoors Built Into Intel And AMD Processors
> ^(Steve Blank)^(, recognised as one of Silicon Valleys leading experts, says that he would be extremely surprised if the American NSA does not have backdoors built into Intel and AMD chips. His reason is that the NSA finds “hacking” through backdoors significantly more simple than trying to crack encryption. For example trying to crack AES 256 bit encryption would require the power of 10 million suns to crack at the current TDP of processors. Steve Blank therefore claims that because cracking encryption is so infeasible the NSA uses hardware level backdoors instead. Steve Blank said that these suspicions arose when he saw the NSA could access Microsoft emails in their pre-encryption state and so he knew there was another way in.)
