Can someone explain this "Purism" thing?
I understand that they are trying to build laptops with secure components.
But they are using Intel processors. What about Intel ME? There is some workaround or they just let it be?
- mikeash 9y agoInteresting question. They have a page about it here: https://puri.sm/learn/intel-me/ https://puri.sm/learn/intel-me/ I think the summary is: it's hard but they're working on it, and they think they can disable it.
- userbinator 9y agoVery recently, another team claims to have managed to disable one version of ME completely: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15116719 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15116719 Perhaps they could work together on this.
