“We have obtained fully functional JTAG for Intel CSME via USB DCI”
One way to think of ME is, we all woke up one day and discovered we have had high resolution night vision spy cams installed in our bedrooms.<p>The next realization is there is no way to turn them off or remove them. It’s posisble even moving won’t help.<p>And yet we really don’t seem to care much. Lesser issues generate national outrage and high volumes of press coverage. Why?<p>HN may be uniquely positioned to show us the answer. Take a community of people with generally above average interest and/or knowledge in this stuff, and the comments are filled with questions asking what the hell ME even is.<p>Apparently, ME is the perfect combination of opaque, obtuse, and obscure. It’s not rocket science, but complicated enough it’s hard to explain well quickly. It’s easy to be a highly technical person yet never have the need to cross paths with the subject. There has been some press, some activity, but all of that is simultaneously dampened for the same reasons.
