Further, he killed all trust in Intel. Now, no one will believe that there are no government back doors into everything they make.
There's literally Intel Management Engine or how is it called.
And they are literally an American corporation that has always benefited from American governments pressuring competitors from other countries, and that was important for MIC since 70s.
So that kind of trust was a clear no since long before I was born.
Intel is a us corporate they do as the US spooks tell them to do.
That's national security laws.
For real, this just further cemented me not wanting to buy any new Intel devices.
So true, I've officially bought my last Intel product, though I didn't know it at the time.. A shame cause I was interested in their GPUs at maybe some point in the future. From now on it's either ARM or AMD. Can't support a company (partially) controlled by a fascism regime.
Intel never deserved trust. They rigged the game by cheating on benchmark tests and deserve the karma they are currently enjoying.
I guess the average consumer would not be very aware of Intel being so shitty, but now everyone has a reason to be wary of them.
Their biggest problem is that people don't want to buy their stuff because it's bad, they can worry about their backdoory image later
Honestly this. Their cpus melting down over the past couple years and their refusal to even acknowledge it hurt their image more than any potential backdoor could.
