NSA literally does not give a shit about you. They have so much harvested data they can't even go through all of it. It's literally all dumped into a computer for analysis looking for keywords in certain languages to flag you for national security threat.

TL;DR you're not important or dangerous enough for anyone to care.

t. CIA nigger

Racist bitch enjoy your ban faggot

>you're not important or dangerous enough for anyone to care.
Until you are.
Hope you aren't a politician who say, tries to reduce the NSA's funding or power.

more SJW than firefox

Ironically, trannyboot is backdoored itself.

>someone getting banned for being racist on Sup Forums
That would be a first.

>Tfw your computer only boots in shitlord mode

This is all very informative and all but doesn't actually answer the question.

wut?

>he doesn't remember when moot let his gf be a mod

I actually got banned from /ck/ for calling a Chinese chef a chink once

It is now that based Sup Forums user leaked keys

Intel internally btfo

x86 has to fucking die!

No. I'm not paranoid. I like both CIA and Jews, they're very smart guys.

Does anyone stop you from using another -march? Do your shit on an ARM tablet, a Raspberry PI or an ARM Chromebook if you don't like x86. I'm happy with x86.

You're a short-sighted idiot. Sup Forums used to joke about being spied on by the government. It was seen as something only tinfoil hat wearers believed in before Snowden and others leaked evidence of it actually happening. At the moment the NSA or whoever can't harvest everything but technology isn't standing still and eventually they will have the tools in place to do so.
TL;DR things change

I was getting banned once a week just for using nigger on /tg/ before I gave up on the board. Not in reference to niggers or anything, just as a general insult

Fucking entryists are infiltrating this site. There's a mod on Sup Forums who is known to take requests from /leftypol/ on 8 chan, banning things to manipulate the board in their favor. Exactly as moot wanted it.

Unfortunately that poster was just LARPing. As soon as any decent questions were asked they stopped posting.

It's a measure of security and big politics. You're not that guy, CIA would pay attention to.

Hey, that's some nice bitcoins you have there. I'm sure you don't mind us folks at the NSA backing up the keys. You have nothing to hide after all.

The point is it doesn't have to be done in the first place as inevitably someone will abuse the power of holding that much information.

>Unfortunately that poster was just LARPing
So you assume

Get a load of this nigger cattle.

Burden of proof is on the poster. They could have easily forged that Intel employee document and we've seen no evidence of any keys being released.

>flag you for national security threat
And ignore you. They potentially check SNS and phone activity as every police state do.

No, Libreboot won't do shit against the CIA niggers because they're adding hardware implants to hard drives and processors anyways

Libreboot is shit

Yeah, your SSD firmware is probably compromised as well.

Libreboot helps though. It's just not complete protection with the ME and alike.

The only way to be safe is use more than 10 year old hardware.

it's a honeypot designed to lure in those that believe they can get away

There is currently no evidence of a breach or intentional backdoor in the Intel ME or AMD PSP that would allow for government agencies to backdoor your shit. Even the two major leaks we've had in the last five years haven't turned up any evidence of one (and they have turned up a lot of evidence of them spending resources developing/deploying other exploits, which suggests to me that they don't have a master key). But getting Libreboot/Coreboot to run on those chips would be a good step towards making sure that doesn't happen in future. This only really applies to the NSA anyway, who do mass passive surveillance, anyone like the CIA who does active surveillance will just sneak into your house when you're not out and physically swap the components if they really really want to and are only going to bother to do that if you're seriously under suspicion.

>Keywords in certain languages
Like the word "Sup Forums" in English?

This, just like the browsers having a "send do not track request" it helps to single out the people who more than likely have something they want to hide.

I doubt it. It's part of Richard Stallman's GNU crap and he's pretty insistent on making the stuff under his auspices pretty paranoid-friendly. He won't even bother owning a laptop that isn't running it.

It's a step, but there's much more needed.

RISC-V is another step.

>Libreboot helps though. It's just not complete protection with the ME and alike.
This is why you need to get either
1. an old CD/C2D era laptop and libreboot it (at least thinkpads and a few macbooks are librebootable). They are not very powerful, but are very much usable for many regular tasks. Esp when compared to the old 100% free option - that Lemote netbook (I owned one: it wasn't very usable)
2. one of the newer ones with ME made not dangerous. This is possible for a select few Thinkpads w/ libreboot and is likely becoming possible even for the X220.

This is when it comes to laptops, anyway. I haven't needed a tower in years so I've only looked into these issues on laptops. I would guess that it is possible to build a fairly secure desktop.

> It's part of Richard Stallman's GNU crap
Not anymore, actually. The lead dev of libreboot had some sort of a problem with the FSF (accusing them of discrimination) and left the GNU project.

Coreboot is the actual project.

Libreboot is just some silly spinoff by some crazed SJW.

Found the nigger

Libreboot laptops seem too expensive desu.

>Coreboot is the actual project.
It is not fully free, doesn't make it the priority, so the fork is the one I'll always use.

Also, its the libreboot/minifree folks who are working on disabling ME on those Thinkpads: minifree.org/product/libreboot-x220/#libreboot_todo

You can do it yourself for X200/T400 if you own the hardware or you can do it via software for X60/X60s/X60t and certain T60 models (the software flash is easy as heck, so if you can deal with a core 2 duo laptop, it is very recommendable to everyone)

Fuck off NSA faggot and stop stalking me.

Yes

They have no power. They provide foreign intel to elected decision makers in the government.
You'd know that if you weren't a Russian troll.

Where is your god now?

If the government can access your important data via a backdoor, so can a script kiddie who bought a hack from some iranian hacker.

>iranian hackers
No such thing. You need electricity for computers, and Iran is literally a stone-age country. They haven't even invented the wheel or the bow and arrow yet.

>using trannyware
>unironically, kys Leah Rowe

yeah but it can be removed while keeping the chipset functional

Reading is hard, we know

Perhaps the NSA does not care about me, specifically. It does care about my data or it wouldn't archive it. How sure are you that someday there won't be some legislation that allows companies to pay for access to that data? Your carefully written and well developed CV could be considered just a cute appendage someday by employers who can pay to know the real you.

If you aren't working to dismantle the NSA and other intelligence agencies legal authority to trample your 4th Amendment right, you are working to enhance the fascist collusion between the government establishment and the multinational corporate hegemony.

tl;dr - NSA, Apple, Intel, Microsoft, Alphabet, Facebook, Cisco, Oracle, IBM, HP, and Qualcomm are just a few of the biggest of the worst threats to humanity. That is the enemy we face. That is the enemy that must be dismantled.

But how do you know that when you flash coreboot to it, the Intel AMT isn't doing something fucky on-the-fly like a firmware-level Ken Thompson compiler hack? (Sure, it's not actually compiling, but there are going to be hardware calls that have to be in binary and they'd be easy-to-recognize triggers to reinsert a backdoor during ROM flashing)

...

What if I told you there is no practical reason in deleting the ME partition from EEPROM. It was only used back in the day when flash memory was expensive and the whole technology was new. It is basically a place where firmware is held. Intel can and possibly could put this said memory chip directly inside of their processor, alongside with special RISC co-processor to run this code.
Your dun goofd fuckos

Ironically the people who care about mass surveillance are people who would never get a job anyway.

This is kinda where I was going with There's no reason they'd have to keep the backdoors ONLY in the BIOS/UEFI eeprom. You could put them anywhere, and built right into the CPU die itself would be the most logical place to put it, because there'd be nothing you could do about it except swap the CPU for one without it... If such a thing existed. But I think it's also likely there's a backup in all Intel NIC firmware.

The NSA will start giving a shit about you when those algorithms flag you for speaking out about the government. When you're flagged, a human will need to manually review you. Computer backdoors will be used, your cars will get GPS trackers, your phone's camera and mic will always be on and sending data back.

> Intel can and possibly could put this said memory chip directly inside of their processor, alongside with special RISC co-processor to run this code.
but there is no practical reason to do this.

they don't go out of their way to create backdoors to be used as backdoors, their tech (intended for convenient functionality) just doubles as backdoors. there's no intelligent conspiracy behind all this, there's just several actors who do their own thing and end up creating bad things.

>your cars will get GPS trackers
already happened, what do you think OnStar is for? Cash4Clunkers is all about trying to get rid of the cars without it.

There is another thread right now

not that I know the technical detail of what a compiler hack would be capable of but doesn't the checksum for your rom solve all this?

Old knowledge though. ME is bullshit, but it can be disabled on a few models. But ME wasn't created to be a backdoor for intelligence.

Also; I was not aware that it was found on every i3/i5/i7, I thought certain cheapo i3 models lacked the functionality.

You are not familiar with silicon fabrication process. First they print absolutely identical chips on a wafer, then they cut the wafer and start testing. If a chip fails to run at certain clocks with all modules enabled, these modules are disabled by microcode and now it is "i3" instead of "i7", but it doesn't mean that they did not include the me functionality in it tho.

a single rogue employee can destroy anyone's life anytime

So this is what qualifies as bait these days? You got replies that you wanted from redditors at least

>tfw the keywords scanner can't recognize irony
>tfw some intelligence agent is looking through my internet fap history right now
and not a single kike was gassed that day

He was probably a janitor at intel or his dad works there
