Same place it gets normal updates

I am talking about you can't trust what the OS is putting in there because their source is closed. They can be mandated by Feds to put backdoors. The CIA used to sneak it in at manufacturing but that is stopped now with code signing. So now they just mandate it, including very heavy threats to the business not to disclose. If what I am saying is not true then prove it by publishing the source.

If you don’t trust your BIOS/UEFI vendor then you can’t trust your machine.
