Yes, that's what a lot of the hoopla was about with intel chips having been found to have a chip within a chip of sorts designed specifically for the NSA to be able to drop in on you without having to use your password. That's why Russia has gone as far as to begin making their own chips to go in their own devices instead of buying chips from Intel and AMD.
Did you not hear about this in the news about a year or two ago. That's the reason Intel stock took a big hit during the time this was made known to the public. I want to say Snowden released that information on Wikileaks as well.

I didn't have to hear it in the news to KNOW this was occurring. Spectre and Meltdown are CPU design flaws having to do with the lack of security in out-of-order instructions. There is no "chip within a chip". Any article that would write that... has no fundamental understanding of the problem. Spectre and Meltdown can affect any CPU with out-of-order instruction processing, unless the OS takes specific measures to prevent it. That includes Intel, AMD, ARM, and many other smaller players. So you are saying the NSA infiltrated all of these companies and specifically told the computer scientists who developed out-of-order instruction processing back in the 1990s... for the express reason to "drop in on you?" That's a long, long game... and that's not what happened.
It was simply a design flaw that was found to be exploitable.
The back door is there just for Apple and for whom Apple allows to use the backdoor. If you want to Trust Tim Cook's Globalist Cabal ass, be my guest.
Ok... if you say so.
There's TWO (2) DIFFERENT TYPES OF ALTERNATING CURRENT. Meaning, THEY BOTH ALTERNATE BUT IN DIFFERENT WAYS.
Longitudinal Current flows in the SAME direction on two conductors (Tip and Ring) to Ground.
From your description, this is called direct current. Alternating current by definition reverses polarity and thus direction periodically.
Metallic Current flows in OPPOSITE directions on two conductors (Tip and Ring) and NOT to Ground.
I'm pretty sure you know that if you have two opposing currents they cancel each other out based on the combined amplitudes right?
The Tip and Ring is the name of each conductor of a twisted pair used in wire line telephone. Where did the term "Tip and Ring" come from? If you watched the Telephone Operator on Andy Griffith at that old switch board with cords; she had a cord with plugs on each end that looked similar in shape to the plugs you see on the end of headphone cords. These cords had a TIP that was Grounded and a Ring around the tip with voltage on it for switching purposes.

Lol... yes I'm aware. My wife worked at a lawyer's office where they still had a manual switchboard. I was fascinated by this. I'm aware of what tip and ring are. I got a degree in electrical engineering.
Hmmm... this sounds made up. AC current is converted to DC current to run a computer. If there was a signal present on the AC current, it would be destroyed in the AC-to-DC conversion. And second... computers don't respond to a signal unless there is a hardware device that can interpret and process the signal. No device exists in your standard computer, and it certainly doesn't exist in your AC-to-DC converter.
That's where you're wrong, Sir. I'm a Transmission Engineer and have taught engineering design of the outside plant to Outside Plant Engineers and Telephone Technicians how to use their meter to identify and locate troubles since July 27, 1997. I've been in the industry since 1984.I'm not wrong. Signals are useless without something to modulate them and demodulate them. Tell me... what device do you have in your computer right now that can modulate a usable signal across a DC current (that only flows in one direction mind you)... back to your AC/DC converter (power supply), and then re-transmit that signal on an AC current where it can be demodulated by those covert NSA folks you worry about?
Even ADSL modems use both Longitudinal and Metallic current in it's transmission of data. Why the hell do you think you can still have internet without dial tone caused by a hard short on your twisted pair going to your house? A "HARD" short creates TWO Metallic paths. However, You can still have excellent internet with your ADSL modem with that hard short on the line. You're subject to have no voice transmission but will still have excellent internet transmission with a HARD short. WHY? Because LONGITUDINAL CURRENT isn't studying a short. Longitudinal Current flows on each conductor past that short to ground. As long as there is capacitance to ground; longitudinal current can flow on that conductor until the capacitance to ground ends.
You kind of just proved my point. Signal modulation and demodulation require a device that can do so. You need a modem to do so. There is no magic device that can do that from your computer unless it is specifically built to do so.
I'm NOT going to give a detailed course on here explaining how the conversion from longitudinal currents on the power line can be used to see DATA transmitted in a modem LONGITUDINALLY. POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) used to be strictly Metallic Current. Now, in the age of VOIP (Voice of Internet Provider), the voice is also transmitted LONGITUDINALLY; NOT METALLICALLY through CLEC's (Competitive Local Exchange Carriers) but metallically through most ILEC's.
I'm glad, because honestly, I think you are confused. I'm sure you are great at your job though, but just remember... signal processing doesn't just magically happen.
But again, I'm not going to explain this to you nor do I have to. If you choose to be naive, that's your choice. Not mine... Most of the surveillance done on copper wire is done with Longitudinal Current. SOME is done with Metallic Current over plain old telephone service but not as much as it used to be.[/b]
I challenge you to describe how any type of signal would be able to run in the opposite direction against a DC current, survive a transformation into AC current... none of which is possible... and somehow do this without a modulator in the first place. That's not naivety... that's science.
I promise you... the NSA has much easier ways to spy on you.
