I’ll start: The Red Hot Chili Peppers are 3 years older than Guns N’ Roses.

    All Intel CPUs have a Management Engine, basically a smaller CPU within the CPU designed for controlling the rest of the chip. It’s particularly good for things like IT management or devices because it operates with direct control over the other parts of the chip. This device’s firmware is based on Minix.

      it’s also particularly good for the nsa, reason why many people decide to block it (or at least minimize what it can do, since it can’t be blocked anymore)

      Cool, thanks. I work at Intel for a third party, but I have no idea how they get the chip to actually work. I only get the manufacturing process. Thanks for the info
