Anybody in for a good Intel conspiracy theory?

Intel x86s hide another CPU that can take over your machine (you can't audit it)

LOL... ME has been with us for quite a while now, I guess someone needed to write up something alarming. If they understood how the SMI function worked, then they would really be terrified.[emoji4]

Old news... this made the rounds years ago. I am not 100% sure I would call IPMI an "older system" either

... this is similar to an older system called "Intelligent Platform Management Interface" or IPMI, but more powerful).

If you think about it though, power on/ off and remote consoles (serial or iKVM) are super useful features but are also security nightmares.
