Is the ME next? One can dream... that Intel will stop playing with all of this user-hostile "security" nonsense and focus on performance and power efficiency while also releasing all the detailed programming/design information publicly.
The industry has been pushing for copyright enforcement built into the hardware and OS. Windows 10/11 is the first client-server OS, aka the ultimate security risk since you all have been stealing software from yourselves with the rise of mmo's and steam, there's ZERO reason for any piece of software to require an internet connection.
Intel, MS, Sony and AMD are not going to give up on trusted computing. They want to remove control of our PC's to jack up software prices and force the public to pay for software and games.
