So tell us what is your perfect country for hardware manufacturing? |

Name one other country on earth besides america where you can say no to |
| 22 |
a governmental request for a backdoor in your hardware or software |
| 23 |
products and not end up in prison. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
In the mean time will you continue to buy chinese products with proven |
| 26 |
backdoors since getting that is somehow better than something that is |
| 27 |
only almost perfect? |

The amd bulldozer and piledriver CPU's like the FX-8350 and its opteron |
| 30 |
counterparts are made in germany (the packaging is done in china but at |
| 31 |
that point afaik there isn't much that can be done to fuck with it) but |
| 32 |
that still wouldn't satisfy you since germany doesn't have anything like |
| 33 |
the constitution - they have no freedom of speech. |
| 34 |

The future of freedom computing is OpenPOWER and RISC-V since they are |
| 36 |
the only owner controlled archs that have real performance and features, |
| 37 |
in other words they have juice. |
