You are worried about the Intel ME, and not Windows 10, or Google, or Facetube, or your cell phone?

Please face reality, and rid yourself of the paranoia.

Also, Intel is in the first stage, whatever I install insecure is less insecure than Intel according to a security chain

Is this a technical answer? This seems a technical forum

What technical answer do you want? Ask a technical question instead of posting some link to paranoid drivel.

And, as I asked, are you not concerned about windows 10, google, facetube, or your phone? Are you not concerned about alexa or siri?

Technical question? Post one in the appropriate forum. If you want to engage in nonsensical paranoid drivel, there are plenty of other forums on the web.

And, like I said, face reality.

Something that is not detectable, nor removable (also think it about nano-meter technology) embedded in a processor, what kind of technical question do you need?

Also, I answered your question, showed you google and microsoft forum questions I posted as well. Is not this an evidence of concern?

This is like "spit and run away" since you reply and no longer following this thread.
