Replying to Avatar ₿TC Self Custody

From Libreboot website:

"Libreboot already disables the Intel ME by default, using me_cleaner"

If you have a T480/T480s:

"Libreboot uses both me_cleaner and deguard on the T480/T480s."

Also, I strongly recommend to use Raspberry Pi Pico and Pomona Clip, please do NOT use CH341A, it is absolutely crap!

Thanks for the update and clarification! I think I will toss the CH341A since I'm not savvy enough to do the 3.3v mod to make it safe. The quality is also suspect.

I should have read further in your guide as the rest of the steps have details on getting rid of ME.

Appreciate the guide, it is giving me confidence that I can actually do this!

The Raspberry Pico already works on 3.3V and you do not need additional modifications to do :)!

Thanks a lot for your words man, this guide was a huge personal effort and I am glad it can help others!
