Are Apple products really a botnet? They seem to be quite serious with privacy.

not really
Not as blatantly as Microsoft's, anyway. There's that one checkbox when you're setting up OSX and that's it.

Everything with Intel in it is a botnet. Can't escape it no matter what OS.
Jaxson Lee
Recent AMD shit is also a botnet
Jeremiah Morris
Apple is not a botnet no.

Spotting a common theme on Sup Forums.
Everything is a botnet.

It's not Sup Forums, everything really is a botnet. 99% of HDD/SSD manufacturers have baked in NSA back doors, 100% of processors have NSA back doors, the majority of Linux distros have baked in NSA back doors, OSX has them, Windblows has them. All of the entire internet of things is one fucking massive botnet, and it fucking sucks.
Xavier Torres
Your post has 99% baked in tinfoil.
Levi Powell
Yes, but less so than Windows
Grayson Adams
not really user. he is pretty much correct.
Intel chips for sure have backdoors in them.
Whenever you use the encryption algo's on chip, they keep a "cache" of the keys. they say there is no way to get them out the cache. but i bet the NSA know a way :P
efi and uefi basically fucks your whole computer.

Open-source hardware when?

Apple has pretty good privacy desu senpai
The problem is they are overpriced garbage
Christian Gonzalez
A FRIEND TOLD ME THEY ARE NOT USING FREE SOFTWARE?!?!?!
CAN ANYONE CONFIRM?!
Isaac Williams
Never, the amount of research and production equipment it needs to create competetive hardware will always ensure that the (((tech giants))) have a monopoly.

BACK THE FUCK OF?!?!

In short: NO, all of this stuff DOES NOT have NSA backdoors. NSA may have ways to exploit some or even all of them, but they were not placed there purposefully.

how do you know
John Cruz
Simple deduction, really
Good luck getting the following to install an NSA backdoor for you:
- Korean and other foreign SSD manufacturers
- "majority" of Linux distros (or in fact ANY Linux distro)
- Apple with their stance towards privacy (see the iPhone unlocking debacle)
For processors (Intel more than AMD) and Microsoft, yeah for them it seems possible.

>- "majority" of Linux distros (or in fact ANY Linux distro)
Any distro that uses GPL code as a base is already full of NSA backdoors as half the code is from one TLA or another specifically to give them access. Do people actually believe the "free" code is created altruistically by nobody basement dwellers on the internet?
Mason Jackson
I'll believe this when I see proof of it. It's not open source for no reason, you know.
Benjamin Taylor

but user, this is all they need
Gavin Lopez
This is true and it worries me.
Still doesn't make the other points true.
Lincoln Morales
I assume the NSA makes intel it's bitch and also cisco and anyone who makes the bigtime hardware that runs the internet
between those two things that's all they need to be all up in ur shit whenever they feel like it
given the snowden revelations i think it's clear they are capable of getting into your home network and computer if they wanted to

>soldered ram
botnet or not, apple is a shitty meme.

How quickly you forget CVE-2016-5195, a backdoor that was undetected for a decade in your open source having been removed by LT then deliberately reinstated. Or how about the LUKS CVE-2016-4484 backdoor allowing full access to encrypted hard drives the fact that to enable the backdoor only requires you to hold the enter key during boot up is a massive indication it's not a code error but a deliberate insertion, that went 5 years before discovery. Unless you are going to read and more importantly understand every line of code before you install linux being open source only makes it easier for the TLAs to insert the backdoors.
