- google234123 6y agoWhy would they do that?
- intricatedetail 6y agoI can't imagine why someone would hide details of the product they are selling. That is dishonest and should be illegal. Imagine if someone was selling food and would omit some ingredients from the list or you buy a house with a basement and you don't get a key nor info what's inside.
- garmaine 6y agoQuite the contrary, I suspect that telling the details would be illegal. The ME engine predates Snowden and is widely believed in the security community to be subject to NSA meddling. It may be that Intel is the recipient of a NSL preventing them from disclosing too many details. But for whatever reason they have been very tight-lipped.

- garmaine 6y agoI’m not sure if this is sarcasm or not. If you are genuinely curious, the answer is “no.”
- tinus_hn 6y agoThey don’t even release instructions on how to turn it off.
