secret bios intergrations and schizophrenic ramblings
Intel ME and AMD PSP are secret backdoors that your CPUs have had since 2008. These systems operate independently of your main operating system and have extensive access to the hardware, which has raised concerns about privacy and security. Because they can communicate with the network even when the operating system is not running normally, some people worry that they could potentially be abused to remotely access or control a computer. Governments and intelligence agencies have historically had relationships with technology companies, which has fueled speculation that technologies like Intel ME and AMD PSP could be used for surveillance. However, there is no public evidence that Intel ME or AMD PSP are deliberately designed as government backdoors, and their documented purposes are primarily hardware management, security, and system functionality.

Certain old laptops and a handful of desktop PC's have had their BIOS reverse engineered allowing people to make completely opensource firmware which removes the functionality of ME and its counterparts. Libreboot is a good example of this as it removes the Intel Managment Engine entirely and allows the PC to work without it.
