Every processor and Soc manufactured since 2012 has some form of security subprocessor, or TPM, or something that you are classifying as a made up term, and which you won’t acknowledge are not black boxes across the board like you seem to be implying.

TPM is a different but similar problem. It’s unclear why you are falsely claiming that I will not acknowledge what they are. Where do you get that from?

(edit) I would be in favor of a charity shop also stocking a few pre-TPM laptops.

You are wrong about the tech and fearmongering, and you seem entitled.

I believe you are wrong about the tech and pushing cavalier disregard for wise infosec principles on the basis that you think the spychip can only be exploited by a nation state doing tailored ops. You lack some basic knowledge about bugs.

If you offered the non -profit your time to curate these parts that would be great,

This is not mutually exclusive to exposing inefficiencies. It’s wholly irrelevant to the thread.

(edit) I am exposing a trend that is likely global. If I were to volunteer in my local shop, I would still be exposing this problem. And you would still be taking the cavalier stance that running a spychip is a wise practice if not specifically targeted by a threat agent.

or if you seemed more interested in learning

I did not mean to block you from proving that only a nation state can exploit the spychip. Feel free to educate me.
