Petition for Intel to release an ME-less

Interesante para al menos comprender el alcance del Intel’s Management Engine (ME)

The people over at puri.sm (https://puri.sm) have created a petition to ask Intel to release an ME-less version of their CPU. You can sign the petition here: https://puri.sm/posts/petition-for-intel-to-release-an-me-less-cpu-design/ and I have included the full text of the petition below.

For those who are unaware, the Intel ME is a a separate “feature” implemented via hardware and software on all modern Intel CPUs. It includes a custom operating system and has direct access to the hardware. It can access the harddrive without being hindered by your operating system and it can send data out via the network card.
