Have you heard about PRISM? Have you heard about Lavabit? Have you heard about the FISA court and its practice?

Have the ME in all products, not deactivatable, and not replaceable is not a trivial thing to do, so it surely isn't incompetence. What is it then?

- madez 9y agoThere are other ways to prevent bricking. For that you don't need an updatable and extensible OS with Ring0-invisible access to network and hardware. And even if bricking were possible, so it is with many other computers, so what? I have yet to hear a good reason for the ME that makes it possible to argue that it is not for backdooring of and having power over all x86 machines.
