I am optmistic about real privacy in modern times and publish quite effort on the topic, so that others can have verifiable privacy too.

On the other hand my dear counterpart, you have quite a few suspicious hardware decisions on your belt and already got exposed endorsing government developed tools like Tor.

There isn't a particular reason for me to call out the obvious attack vectors of using compromised hardware.

We are all still here because we want to know hw model and Os that Brito is using in real life, it would be really nice to know. So we cam evaluate if it's a better solution compared to Pixel/graphene combo.

All depends on your security model and needs. Just because I point some obvious hardware flaws, doesn't mean I need to use them myself.

I'm the kind of guy that writes embedded operating systems on dedicated hardware and networks just to know in detail what is used. Even there exist exploits to be aware.

For example, Wi-Fi chips cannot simply be trusted and the alternatives are still expensive: https://archive.fosdem.org/2021/stands.fosdem.org/stands/openwifi/
