Re: [Trisquel-users] The hijacking flaw that lurked in Intel chips is worse than anyone thought

Thank you for clarifying that- it makes it much clearer why nobody picked it  
up for so long (although what convinced them to use the said comparison  
function is still beyond comprehension...).

As for your point in regards to caring, you're unfortunately probably right.  
The most mainstream news source I've seen carry this was Slashdot, and even  
then I suspect many readers probably aren't greatly moved by this revelation  
(disclaimer: I do have a ME-enabled device presently, so perhaps that's  
hypocritical to say). Perhaps it's a little too much to propose there were  
malicious motives behind it, but it can't be ruled out...
