There are bios hardware flash that will disable/uninstall all but 2 packages of Intel ME IIRC removing 5 packages. This is so far the best I have seen for getting as close as we can with limiting what amounts to a intel low level OS which tech has the power to circumvent anything we do at the user OS level. No longer does the baremetal term apply as it use to in the past. The CPU and chipset manf as wanting and taking more and more control away from the primary OS thus locking us down more and more and increasing their control of the entire PC. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
