Intel ME confirmed for running minix

Sure, then I'll just put it in a faraday cage and hope the 1,000 exploits in the hardware and software running on it that I don't know about don't leak anything important.

Instead of being cynical about everything, try developing sensible threat models. Do you have super secret business plans and data? For this kind of data, it's probably best to keep it on a computer that's never connected to the Internet. So what about doing stuff on the Internet? Dedicate an Internet facing computer that doesn't store any kind of data permanently but is reset every time you turn off that computer. How about Internet spying? You can work with Internet privacy tools like Tor, Freenet and GPG.

The only thing I know about QNX is that complete system with working web browser fits on 1,44 mb floppy

any TL;DW for this?

How to Become the Sole Owner of Your PC

is there a way to disable/limit it or do I have to get a different CPU?

You mean ME? Just use me_cleaner.

There's also a recent presentation on BootGuard which is preventing me_cleaner to work on machines

What CPUs affected?

That's not an actual use though.
