Comment on Local charity shop rejects pre-spychip PCs. Then they get destroyed.

Lashing out at me was unnecessary. I was pointing out that there are 2 catastrophic vulnerabilities that are going to be present in every chip that meets your criteria.
I’m not defending the IME or the PSP. The most generous thing I can say about them is that they are unnecessary. I’m pointing out that the chips that you want to use have been unsupported for so long that they have catastrophic vulnerabilities that have never even been attempted to be patched. There are more catastrophic vulnerabilities than just Spectre and Meltdown.

It was an attack on your bullshit. Not on you personally.
And I was pointing out that you are wrong.
You are advocating for chips that are /more/ vulnerable, not less. You are advocating for chips with a much larger attack surface and unknown vulns. Overall, you are giving poor advice from an infosec standpoint.
I’m waiting.

No, you weren’t. You were being pedantic. AMD will have Spectre. Intel will have Spectre and Meltdown. 2 vulnerabilities.
No, I wasn’t. Stop putting words in my mouth. Unless you know how to write microcode, I have serious doubts that you are capable of successfully patching the vulnerabilities on those chips.
Do whatever you want. I don’t care.
