It is so invasive into human rights and people's right to freedom, privacy and free speech. Not to mention to risk it poses towards the future of our democracies, or making dictatorships significantly worse than they are today. In the name of terror, lets slowly erode and destroy democracy and all its values, bit by bit, year by year, until it collapses. Sounds like a good deal, lets keep this facde up that it's needed to fight terrorism, it's definitely going to end well. How on earth are these people getting away these crimes against humanity?

Re: [qubes-users] Does VT-d protect against this?
VT-d, intel's crappy IOMMU doesn't protect you from ME by design. There is no disabling ME contrary to what some companies might say - me_cleaner simply nerfs it. If you want a PC without black box supervisor processors here are your open source firmware options: Ultra high performance: TALOS 2 (POWER 9, so no qubes ATM unless you compile it yourself) - price is appropriate for high end server hardware (for the same performance x86-64 would cost more) Will be RYF upon release Performance: KGPE-D16 KCMA-D8 Can play games in a VM via IOMMU-GFX, with the best CPU's equal to FX-8310. They support OpenBMC for open source remote management. I use these and they're great. Laptop: Lenovo G505S (needs blob for video/power management, but can be replaced with free code as there is no hardware code signing enforcement anti-features) Novena (needs blob for 3D video accel) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
