and

huh. So, with enough code, there are so many bugs that all eyes are blind!

this is a long shot but donkey years ago I came across a research organisation that published papers on safety critical Driver/Hardware/OS development. Can’t think of the name of the organisation anymore. One of the papers described implementing a new language to design and test hardware prior to fabrication.One of the devs on irc helped me find it again in the past but alas the channel is gone along with the devs which I spoke with.

If people spend $$$$ and buy a Lenovo with pre-installed and want to have some privacy go to settings ---> privacy in and turn everything off and go happily about their day thinking their privacy is intact the reality is those privacy settings are only applicable for applications installed via flatpak <--
