Charliebrownau is still asleep at the wheel recommending non-solutions. Or simply failing to grasp the whole picture around CPU hardware rootkits.
Intel IME got put in after 915 chipsets Bascically ALL the Multi core cpus for years have had it
Allows remote control of all Intel computers
no matter which CPU
Get around it by using
Risc V
AMD
Some older Intel CPUS that can DISABLE IME
Also Intel Based Chromebooks dont have IME
(Emphasis mine) Unless he means specifically pre-2013 AMD chips then, no, it isn’t “getting around” the hardware backdoors the industry has been shoving down throats.
