    Even if it’s verified not to spy on you today, they’re all one forced update away from always listening and reporting back, either to corporate or a hacker. Don’t trust code you can’t see.

      How do you alter hardware remotely?

        Alter the hardware? The firmware would just need to be updated silently. No piece of computer hardware doesn’t have some form of software running at a low level.

          Again, the power cut & indicator light are implemented in hardware. there is no software running on a single-transistor circuit.

            You never said that to me. I had to figure out what your talking about through your comment history with other people.

            Do you trust that? Have you opened one up and followed the traces?

              I was developing devices for Amazon professionally. Those were the schematics from the actual hardware design.
