If you can't see the code, don't trust it even if it's recommended

Its gonna be really funny in a few years when we learn that TPM2 / Windows’ Specific Implementation of SecureBoot has a backdoor for the NSA, just like how the Kinect did.

They never had any legitimate reason to fuck with bootloader as hard as they have been.

I saw they promoted that I'm the last paragraph... Wasn't veracript also claimed to have been backdoored at some point?

Truecrypt had claims but with no substantial evidence, and Veracrypt is a FOSS fork with no secrets about how it achieves its encryption functionality.
