Does the 'base' ME not have a number of network functions aside from AMT, eg anti-theft, system defense (packet filter), serial over LAN? From what I have read, the ME has the dynamic application loader that can load applets. It w

From my perspective, on one side, they messed up on compartmentalization/access control. On the other side, the US is and should be held to a higher standard than China or Russia. Insiders are sworn to uphold and defend the Constitutio

Exactly. As a thought experiment, it's fairly trivial to set up an OTP communications scheme - like doing one from scratch in less time than it takes to order a pizza. It's traditionally been low-bandwidth, but as storage shrinks

The only piece of solid evidence I personally have inventoried so far is about 100k$ ad spend on divisive issues, rather than supporting a particular candidate. That was not massive (compared to campaign billions). It was targeted at region
