This is so creepy:
āThat supplemental unit is part of the chipset and is NOT on the main CPU die. Being independent, that means Intel ME is not affected by the various sleep state of the main CPU and will remain active even when you put your computer in sleep mode or when you shut it downā
Thatās straight-up creepy, a chip that stays alive when you shut down means you never truly power off, time to lock it down or consider alternatives. š
Ya youād need to unplug or flip a switch on a power strip
Or use a faraday bag...
For cell phones at least, a computet might be a little harder...
Only use ethernet maybe, and unplug the cable when done? That way it has never had access to your protectli/router via wifi. Guessing, so educamate me if that wouldn't work, please! š
