If they're working with Dell EMC, an American company, then it's still the exact same issue.
- TomMarius 8y agoOne step at a time. Having physical control over data definitely is an improvement. Not everyone believes conspiracy theories about spy microchips in mainboards.
- Tsubasachan 8y agoMicrosoft Euro branch is still subject to US law. The US can still seize your data.
- tyfon 8y agoYes, that is why you use azure stack and not azure. It's a licensed version of the software that you can run completely independent of Microsoft.
- kkarakk 8y agolicenses usually include provisions for being disabled if the parent country requires it. see what happened to iran when US levied sanctions
- TomMarius 8y agoDisabled != data changes hands.
- zaphirplane 8y agoUsually you want that unless you don’t and you don’t here :)
- ionised 8y ago> believes conspiracy theories about spy microchips in mainboards. You mean not everyone believes the cold, hard truth? That's unfortunate, because most of us here saw the evidence of this taking place.
- fixermark 8y agoInteresting. Can you provide a source?

- Dahoon 8y agoHow is that a chip in a mainboard? The mainboard story was a propaganda piece in Bloomberg aimed at China.
- chopin 8y agoAfaik the processor is a chip on the mainboard. I personally don't care which part of the mainboard carries the backdoor.
- fixermark 8y agoWith respect, what you linked to is a conspiracy theory that the ME is used in ways other than explicitly stated by Intel and unsupported by any evidence other than allegation.
- acct1771 8y ago"Can be used in ways other than explicitly stated" quickly turns into "is used": "https://hackaday.com/2017/12/07/another-defeat-of-the-intel-management-engine/ https://hackaday.com/2017/12/07/another-defeat-of-the-intel-... "The Intel Management Engine with its proprietary firmware has complete access to and control over the PC: it can power on or shut down the PC, read all open files, examine all running applications, track all keys pressed and mouse movements, and even capture or display images on the screen. And it has a network interface that is demonstrably insecure, which can allow an attacker on the network to inject rootkits that completely compromise the PC and can report to the attacker all activities performed on the PC. It is a threat to freedom, security, and privacy that can't be ignored." - Hackaday
