I'm never really sure why people have such a hard time with that - even
without them, you're still relying on proprietary logic in hardware. If
you're really concerned that there could be something nasty in the BIOS
or firmware, you shouldn't use any non-open hardware. And for that
matter, even if you've seen the hardware specs, who says the
manufactured part you buy really follows them exactly, and doesn't have
a backdoor?

You have to trust someone, somewhere.
