Not sure how "shocking" this is. The people behind libreboot has been trying to inform about this for a long time: https://libreboot.org/faq.html#intel https://libreboot.org/faq.html#amd But obviously they are tinfoil-wearing conspiracy theorists, right? This is what has stopped me from spending any money on a new CPU from Intel or AMD the past years. Sadly, I don't have a practical alternative right now. Even though some shady "fixes" exists, I prefer to vote with my wallet. -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
