There isn't. But blatant risk taking is apparently fun for humans
to engage in ;)

Don't worry, many people don't know Intel's NIC's are involved
in it too, all documented on Intel's site. Which means like
any good manufacturer, they left themselves (and whoever
their buddies or daddies are) nice little magic packet backdoors
to the otherwise "secure" AMT, before even getting packet
to the CPU gates and userland.

I certainly not first to suggest starting open version of cpu and fab,
but people cry 'impossible', and 'cost v benefit', 'time', bawl waah.

Musk said fuck all that anti BS and is going to Mars.

There are facts in there.

But what is the fundamental problem?
Surveillance? Secrets? Structures?

The human genome?
