  Interesting... though they don't give a date. Was it 2006, 2017... a gradual process since 2006 ?

  It's still in use for DRM though apparently, and so long as it still runs, and so long as we still can't audit it, it isn't trustworthy from a strict privacy perspective.

    I don't believe the IME has anything to do with DRM. That would be TPM.

      From the above linked Apple page: > The primary use of the ME is audio and video copyright protection on Mac computers that have only Intel-based graphics.
