😂😂 this is all very funny, bud, but if you make such assumptions without proofs you will quickly go insane.

Inel ME is ridiculously complex for the goal of collecting telemetry. Intel uses drivers for that purpose.

ME is likely used for security. Not yours, though:

  1. Security of the company, for example, when someone decides to steal large amount of CPUs or something like that. We’ve seen something similar when a South African shop was robbed of Samsung TVs, which were remotely disabled.
  2. National security. Obviously, should a great war break out that would directly confront NATO, the US would be quick to pressure Intel into remotely messing with enemy country’s computers.
