Why do we need ME for that?

• gowld 7y ago
  Active Management Technology (AMT) is built on top of Intel ME. ME lets a trusted party control the computer without letting every peer control the computer.

    I think the point is that all of this can be implemented purely in software that runs at the OS level, or even application level. There's no need to put this in a place where it's difficult to update/patch, and is entirely opaque and user-hostile to the point that the actual end-owner of the hardware can reasonably be sure they know what it does and can control what it does. In other words: I don't want a backdoor into my system that I can't examine or disable.

    AMT is not available with their Z, B and H chipsets. Leave us with only the downsides.
