Yikes. That's a tad worrisome. Thanks for these updates. Hetzner has some machines that support Alder Lake's relatively new TME-MK. I've not looked deeply into whether they've exposed that into their products, but it's probably worth looking into if you're particularly security-conscious.
Another one to add to the list is Greenhost [0], based in the Netherlands. They're not particularly price-competetive, but the company is invested in doing social good. They have a reputation for active lobbying against bills that are perceived as harming user privacy, transparency about their efforts and shortcomings with sustainability practices, etc. [0]:https://greenhost.net/ "David A.
