I always worder if these sums include the fee of the lawyer. Would really be a much smaller payout if true.

We are talking about full remote camera access. Google it, there have been scandals about it already.

It used to be a major pro-AMD reason for me too, but it's become irrelevant since pluton. Weird thing is, pluton was announced with much fanfare for Ryzen 6000, but I've not heard about it since.

Edit: I just read up on this topic again and found out that both purism and system76 disable the Intel ME in all their products (don't know if all of it is disabled, since it normally controls a lot of necessary components)

Edit 2: they can either remove most of its code from the flash, or use a disabling system that Intel had literally developed for the NSA.

Difference is that Intel's Management engine can be controlled via the network whereas AMD's platform security processor is local-only.

The much bigger problem is Microsoft's Pluton coprocessor, which they plan on making mandatory for using windows in the future.

Nothing. My car has AC and I can buy cold water anywhere. There's an umbrella in my car though.

They do have great products, they just need to learn, like basically all corpos, to just shut up.

Fair point, I just wanted to mention that there are unofficial, de-googled OSs that do work with banking apps so that newbies don't get the wrong impression

The apps my bank uses run perfectly well on graphene

Or disable bitlocker on the old system and reenable on the new

Interesting, I'll give that a try before switching to something else entirely. Thank you.

I use their G Hub to remap my mouse buttons and sometimes my config just gets ignored and I increase mouse sensibility instead of pausing the music

Then why were there essentially no blow ups from other motherboard manufacturers? Tell me if my information on this is wrong, but when there's only one brand causing issues then they're the ones to blame for it.
