IntelME, or Intel Management Engine can now be disabled on some CPUs. This means we can potentially Libreboot newer hardware.
https://hackaday.com/2016/11/28/neutralizing-intels-management-engine/
>A few months ago, [Trammell Hudson] discovered erasing the first page of the ME region did not shut down his Thinkpad after 30 minutes. This led [Nicola Corna] and [Frederico Amedeo Izzo] to write a script that uses this exploit. Effectively, ME still thinks it’s running, but it doesn’t actually do anything.
Same OP as last night. Posting again because this is huge.

Buy whatever you want. Use what you have. I didn't come here to shill Intel products. This is just a message for all existing Intel users who don't want to be buttfucked by a micro controller with complete ring-0 access.

That's great news. Unfortunately I'm too poor to buy or send off my X220 to someone capable of removing that stuff at the minute
it's a shame because as someone going into journalism the idea of having a backdoor free machine would be lovely
