Next problem: security is about trusting other people. If you don't
trust Intel or AMD, better don't use their products.

I see a lot of things which are destroyed now – it is not only the
“cloud”. This game is over anyways. It's about the base we're all
standing on. The US government and the NSA are eliminating that, and
nothing less.

If we cannot trust in the manufacturers of the CPUs, we don't have
computers any more we can use.

Yours,
