You started with this false claim:
which you won’t acknowledge are not black boxes across the board like you seem to be implying.
The claim is false for two different reasons:
- I did not refuse to acknowledge that they are not black boxes.
- Some are black boxes, and some are not. It depends on the maker.
Then despite your failure to directly quote what you think supports your claim, you contradict yourself by claiming a TPM /would/ satisfy my definition that covers closed-source code while simultaneously asserting that TPMs are not black boxes. You need to sort out your brain malfunction and get some consistency.
It’s bizarre that you make this meaningless yet contradictory speculation in the first place, then attack the speculation because I made no claim about TPMs that you could attack.
The TPM is hardware constitutes a spychip as far as I’m concerned to the extent that it’s closed-source. But some are not.
