- Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
- Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
- Bigotry will not be tolerated.
3. Post Linux-related content

sudoin Windows. - No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
4. No recent reposts

Wait, what? That's so cool! Care to share somewhere I can start looking into this?
A government hackerman would be the same guy. Except working for the government.
This is cute and all, but I'll bet that <country-s-intel-agency> would have other ways to get into your computer.
β edit: wrong ending bracket
/rant: can we get angle brackets back for god sake?
Hero.
We can get around Intel ME?
Some computers do not require having the ME firmware installed. Usually, these are computers supported by a 100% free BIOS replacement such as GNU Boot (see the compatible models on the website). Libreboot was fully free in the past but it's not true anymore since it does now support computers needing the ME working (at least for computer initialization) but neutered so that most of it can't operate. However, you can't be sure whether a neutered ME is harmful or not since we don't know what it can really do as the initialization source code is not known.
