I read statements like this often on HN, but not once during my years of work as a sysadmin in enterprise IT in different countries did I meet anyone who used ME/AMT for employee laptops. Also not at conferences.
Admins use the ILOM/IPMI for servers, so you don't really need it for server CPUs. For laptops all management happens at the operating system level, not below it.
- cyphar 9y agoAdmins used the "Intel System Defense Utility"[1] back in the vPro/AMT days. It allowed for "nice" BMC-like features for normal desktops and laptops. I know about it from "The Website is Down"[2], but I find it hard to believe that nobody used it.

- arca_vorago 9y agoI hadn't seen that episode of TWiD. So hilarious, with a mix of sad how true it is.
