If they're relying on binaries from Google, then it's already compromised.

there are a handful of vendors that will sell you an intel chip with the me disabled, as well as arm vendors that ship boards without an me-equivalent at all

the point of my post still stands

    Do I need to be the US Military for that?

    Intel ME is not a feature for user, it is intended to control any modern CPU except the ones coming to US Army/Navy. It is needed to make Stuxnet-class attacks. The latest chip with possibiliy to have the ME provenly disabled is the 3rd gen.

      Purism sells a Comet Lake box with the ME disabled (or so they say).

      Many ARM vendors sell powerful arm computers without any ME-analog on board.

      > It is needed to make Stuxnet-class attacks.

      I have issues with the presence of the ME and I think we agree on a lot of things, but this statement is lunacy lol

        So, there is no any fresh x86 processor without that shite. I have no devices with ARM so I have nothing to say about the latter.
