The libreboot laptop mentioned by Francesco have Intel AMT removed. I didn't even know what this feature does, and looked it up.
It's no surprise that corporate giants like Intel oder AMD evolve into that direction, but still, thinking about the kind of implicit power (for example, theoreticaly they could activate webcam and mic and transmit over WLAN) makes me shrivel. Gross: "Security technologies that protect access to the AMT features are built into the hardware and firmware. As with other hardware-based features of AMT, the security technologies are active even if the PC is powered off, the OS is crashed, software agents are missing, or hardware (such as a hard drive or memory) has failed." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Active_Management_Technology -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
