I had a teacher in high school that married a Chinese woman, and when her parents came over they said "Your propaganda is so refreshing, you hardly even notice it."

I guess I'm primarily concerned with compromised firmware, not a special-made device. I'm not sure how realistic of a concern that is. Not that I'm a very interesting target, but I'd rather not have all my devices infected with malicious firmware. I figure that something like that would likely have state-level backing, and something that sophisticated could very easily get baked into brand new hardware at the fab without anybody knowing.
Plus the shit is dirty to extract. On the one a hand I'd rather export our environmental disaster, on the other hand I think we really need to eat our dog food -- but I'm not confident that any amount of dog folding will lead to much change.
