All modern computer processors are backdoored-by-design, and so airgapping all production machines is the only rational solution. Intel's 'Management Engine' and AMD's 'Platform Security Processor' openly snoop on everything you do on your computer, reporting this data back to whoever has keys to the CPU backdoors.

Didn't expect this when I clicked. Another great article.

Here, we should touch briefly on the issue of the ethics of CAD (Computer Aided Design) computers themselves. Almost every modern computer is manufactured in a Communist dictatorship, often by children. This is, after all, the reason companies manufacture in these regions: It is cheap to manufacture in the 'Slave Zones' because there are few human rights, and children are often used as labor.

A discussion about the ethics of computers. Security issues as well. And an argument that design was better when we weren’t using computers.
