Sure, unless you designed and built the hardware yourself you can't be sure. |

Even then you won't know what vulnerabilities you may have inadvertently |
| 19 |
introduced in your creation and are unaware of. Nevertheless, Taiidan's |
| 20 |

| 21 |
knowledge of state actors relentless efforts to spy on us all. |

POWER9 is impressive in many respects, but for a modern laptop there are no |
| 24 |
similar choices to make. As far as I know they are all compromised by design |
