Re: Intel ME
The ME with AMT is basically just Intel integrating BMC functions within their silicon. I don't care if the BMC is off die, on die, or suspended in a pocket universe near the chip, it's still a BMC and, for security, we should be able to fully control and manage it as the miniature network-connected computer it is.
Anything else is planned obsolescence in the best case, and downright malicious in the worst.
