I think that it should be advertised more the fact that intel ME can be removed also on recent hardware. Speaking of Blobs, the storage as well has its own firmware and so on. And this is still there even in the librebooted laptops. Many people install the most recent ssd on those laptop and

I'm not really liking the vibe of that conversation. It seems to be asserting that a "minimized" ME plus Coreboot is the same or really close to Libreboot as if the ME is the only issue. This is clearly not true since Coreboot itself is not libre software and has its own blobs. Libreboot is
