My thinkpad T440p will be coming in soon and I been considering Coreboot/Libreboot but it requirwes a usb bios programmer, there are many of these from many different sellers on Amazon, but all of them are made in China by unknown companies, can these have any malware of them ?

    AFAIK, they’re too simple to have malware. I’d be more worried about having defective units. So far, it’s been the most reliable for me. YMMV tho
