They know, they acknowledge this, and are working to that goal The present situation is that ME is mostly disabled: https://puri.sm/learn/intel-me/ "A neutralized ME" "While finishing our first coreboot port, we have successfully neutralized the Intel ME thanks to the great work of the “me_cleaner” project, removing its kernel, network stack, and about 92% of the Intel ME binary. There remains a little over 7% before complete removal." > Purism isn't a trustworthy company. No company that does not produce all the hardware and software it sells can be. Puri.sm is trustworthy in all *they* do, it's Intel and AMD that are not.
