Any intel processor you purchase is botnet enabled

You're safer getting a processor made before 2011. Which one you should get, I don't know, just get one pre 2011 because I believe that's when all processors became botnets. Correct me if I'm wrong on the date.

You're already 100% pwned by the TLAs, so just stop thinking you can escape it. Nothing makes you look more pleb than thinking you can outsmart 10,000s of people with twice the I.Q of yours.

They also have laser swords and practice secret CIA ninjutsu.

My brother is in the CIA and he told me all about everything in this post.

>>542892

Have they invented the dragon's tooth sword yet?

>Wireless interface adds a layer of difficulty.

>Wireless more secure for once?

Limitations of IME and AMT when using a wireless interface:

>"Wireless management interface disabled by default. The wireless management interface is always initially disabled, even if valid wireless profiles are configured in the ME and Intel AMT is enabled. Wired Intel AMT interfaces can be enabled by default at the point of manufacture."

>" Power-state sensitivity. As mentioned above, the wireless Intel AMT interface, like the host wireless interface, is powered down when the host is in low-power states. Thus, the key value of wireless Intel AMT connectivity pertains to its ability to connect to machines with non-functioning operating systems, as well as to isolate malware-infected systems from the rest of the network. The wired management interface remains enabled in all power states, as long as the host machine is plugged into a power source."

Well, two of my computers' processors are botnet free.

Intel 80486 486DX2 66MHz

Intel 80586 Pentium 60MHz

I also have an AMD K6-2 300MHz processor on a motherboard somewhere in the basement that needs to be put into a case and resurrected.

You can run linux in CFW PS3.

>>542904

You're going to have to get a single board computer. At this point they're the only devices that haven't been completely coopted by the botnet. Use a Beagle Bone Black, the Raspberry Pi was developed by SJWs to get more niggers and wymyn into STEM and its build quality sucks ass, the Beagle Bone Black was developed by actual /tech/ies who actually give a fuck about open source and durability. Performance will be shit, but here your priority is not performance but instead security.

Build a faraday cage, problem solved.

>>542973

How does AMT actually get network access? Is there some known interface for NIC vendors to implement which allows AMT to utilize the NIC, or what? And if this is the case, why don't we just have a single generic networking driver for all NIC's supporting this interface?

>>543052

I already have both a beaglebone and SJW Pi. The former I bought so that libreboot flashing instructions would be easier to follow, and with the latter I bought into the media hype that surrounded the original model B. They mostly sit unused on a shelf. I was going to use all of these underpowered computers to simulate customer terminals in a library system. I could play around with PXE boot and other shit that way. I'd recommend Odroid C2 as a "daily driving" SBC. If it's not entirely free then it's 'mostly free' I think.

But I want hardware that's powerful enough to handle VPN traffic through pfsense. For that reason I'm looking at low-power AMD. But I'm not sure it's going to compare well in terms of price/benchmark when compared to Intel Atom. The power to dollar ratio of the old Atom 330 or D525 still beats most of the SBCs on the market. But they're still weak when compared to "proper" CPUs.

I don't know I'll figure something out. And I won't be using >>543040 Intel 486 to run torrents you fucking nutter.

>>543083

>well its all on the same motherboard.

Not sure. Could there be some kind of standard nic architecture that is integrated with the Intel chipsets?

>why can't we have a generic nic driver if this just werks for Jewtel?

Good question. If it works with random PCI nic cards as well as on board, then you have something here. Maybe the nic has limited functionality through AMT?

>run torrents

Get fucking taste, and you will have almost no need for BT. Fuck, the last thing I torrented was OS/2 for PowerPC, only because the direct download wouldn't initiate.

Seems like every piece of passive fiction made after 2001 is trash, and every game made after 2006 is complete garbage.

>>543471

>my tastes are the only ones that matter.

I generally agree with what you're saying, but would you tone down your autism?

Also torrenting games is nice in the sense that even if the story is shit, you can enjoy the physics or other things, and vice-versa. Never having paid a dime for shitty games.

>>543480

Downloading shit all the time is an indicator of having no fucking taste. No matter what kind of music you like, there isn't that much that's genuinely good, and this is an even more dire situation with games, TV shows, and movies.

If you enjoy dipshittery, then have fun.

>>542818

vpro is bad. Only way to avoid cpu backdoors is to buy a SPARC server.

>>543471

>and every game made after 2006 is complete garbage.

You talking release dates or what? Because STALKER: SHOC was released in 2007 and is the last vaguely A game released that is worth a damn.

Is the AMD FX-8370E botnet?

Technically still a part of F15 (Piledriver), but it was released in Q3 2014, so...

>>543079

In what manner does a Faraday cage even mitigate the problem?

Only some laptops have the 4G chip

Correct me if im wrong but xeon chips dont have the AMT that everyone is worried about.

>>543653

My plan basically. I think I might actually end up rehabilitating that old Pentium Dual Core desktop I have lying around seeing as I plan on building a big-ass gayming PC. Obviously I'm only going to use it for vidya.

>>542883

Yes goyim buy a processor that has hardware-level exploits instead of reading the fucking specifications of your high end computing machinery to check if it includes AMT or not

>>543681

You're technically wrong. It's safe to assume all post-2009 Israel Intel CPUs are botnet, including the Xeons.

Therefore, this also means that all pre-Management Engine Xeons are as safe as any other hardware manufactured back then.

I can see why you would make that assumption, though. I believe a good plurality (don't quote me on this) of the TOP500 run on Xeons.

>>543622

AM3+ should be fine, at least Wikipedia doesn't list any TPM for FX processors.

Core 2 Duo is ok as long as you replace any proprietary firmware/hardware and use libreboot or coreboot, right?

>>543471

>Bayonetta is complete garbage

Back to /v/ with you, friend.

Anyone with a few hundred dollars to put this to test?

>>543845

>>543864

I have a NIB i5 from ~2013 sitting in a box in the living room.

Now I have a use for it.

>>543845

No ohfence m8 but why would you do this?

Why wouldn't you just cut tiny pads out of electrical tape for the CPU contacts? Magnetic rays?

Is there hope yet for botnet-free?

>>543810

Alright, thanks. Even if it is botnet, I'd prefer being surveilled by China rather than Israel.

>>543653

I have a sony media center pc that kicked ass for its day.

fuckin DUAL CORE P4 at a whopping 3.8 GHZ!

also has a really cool (but not functional) case and is heavy as fuck.
