Now seems like a really good time to twist Intel's arm to the back and force
them to get rid of these invasive blobs, once and for all. Going open source,
should be the very minimum solution, after all, how can we trust a company like
this otherwise, if they don't at least try to be as transparent as possible.
They lack trust enough already as it is, them now admitting it should mean no
more roadblocks to get rid of it once and for all.
If they got to the point and they admitted it (and its no longer a case of
proving its existence), and still don't want to do the right thing, then imho,
all hell should break loose.
Even if AMD is fucked up in this way as well, I'll buy AMD until Intel get this
right. Because right now, Intel needs to look good again, while AMD does not
after its come-back. Boycutting Intel now, may force its hand to do the right
thing. Push em where it hurts.
And if Intel finally does the right thing, then who knows, AMD may follow suit.
AMD is halfway there already anyway.
AMD has PSP, which is their version of ME. It is no better.
owner controlled POWER is the future, if enough people buy TALOS
products eventually they'll be a lower end option (FYI the TALOS 2 price
is appropriate for high end server hardware, it is actually less than
Intel's stuff)
If google can't convince intel to offer a way to remove ME then no one
can, certainly not a small company with no real connections and no
hardware engineers (purism)
