I’ve been looking into ASUS NUCs 👉 ASUS Mini PCs. They’re powerful and upgradable, but…
🔒 Privacy is a concern:
Most Intel and AMD CPUs include:
⚙️ Intel ME / AMT
🛡️ AMD PSP
These allow remote management even when the device is off, which isn't ideal if you're aiming for full control.
🧠 That’s why I’m seriously considering ARM-based devices:
✅ No ME/PSP
✅ Lower power consumption
✅ Simpler, more open design
🤔 Any solid recommendations?

I am not aware of a node implementation built for ARM, all the ones I've used require x86 architecture

It runs on Raspberry Pi which is ARM.
ah word, I did not realize Pi was ARM
