In this video, we are explaining what the Intel ME is and how to disable it.More information about Dasharo coreboot: https://novacustom.com/coreboot-laptop/0...
I have mixed feelings on ME tbh. It shouldn’t be in consumer grade hardware at all, but it definitely has applications in enterprise environments as far as device management goes. Having an out of band solution that runs independently of a given OS on your devices is handy.
But without someone forcing that, for consumer hardware they will just “disable”(read: not mention) the ME, because there are entities (the ones that should be enforcing secure consumer hardware) that very much enjoy the ME being there for them to take advantage of on consumer hardware.

Kinda like iDRAC for Dell servers
