Intel Wants Us All to Abandon Local Storage and Use Their Tech as a Local Cache For the Clood

"Ring -3 rootkit" should redirect to the ME article and not to the AMT one. ME sits most deep, AMT is just software that runs on top of it (non-vPro systems don't even have the large ME firmware that includes AMT, but they still have ME).

normalfags will eat this shit up sooner or later
the future is going to be fucking awful

Insecure faggot shitposters like you are exactly what we don't need on this board. How about you tell us what great distro you use? You won't because your scared of being made fun of.

For the record, I use Gentoo, but the very idea that the distro a person uses can be the object of ridicule/praise is kind of hilarious. These /g/-tier distro epeen stroking threads are just so absurd and pathetic. Don't you two ever step back a think, "Hey, this is kind of a stupid thing to argue over"? Because it is.

Bump, why would anybody fall for this trick?

I'll be pursuing this line of thought. Thank you user.

Someone I know thinks we're doomed as a species to cycles of growth and decay, and he can't seem to conceptualize a successful future humanity that even manages to branch out to our own solar system. With the scenarios some anons are presenting, I would rather my friend be right than live in the dystopias we and the corps keep dreaming up. I hope you're right and people massively lose faith in technology (specifically high-end electronics and software) and maybe give ourselves time to unfuck our cultures before we mutate into something even more wretched than we already are.

It's always the young generation who is excited about whatever is "new and shiny" and who willingly accepts it. Have you heard teens or even early twens go around complaining about how tech has gone and is going to shit? No, and if, it's an irrelevant minority. The overwhelming majority will accept everything which is served to them by the corporations, they're even proud of rejecting "old shit stuff" with the "new and shiny" things. Back in the 90s there were older people who saying that computers will lead to no good, but do you think that the youth listened to them? Heck no, literally every young person loved computers, loved mobile phones, loved the internet, whatever was new was exciting to them. To today's youth those 90s or even 00s tech is ancient shit which they eagerly believe must be disposed of and replaced with whatever is carefully posed to them as "current" right now. They embrace "social media", chiclet keyboards, stream services as a replacement of buying shit on CDs/DVDs etc., smartphones as a replacement for a personal computer, cameras and microphones everywhere, zero privacy, shitty mainstream operating systems who control the user rather than the other way around, stuffing internet connectivity into everything, and so on and so forth. To them all this is normal and they will fight to defend it and will actively help to kill off what once was. Not every single one of them, but the overwhelming majority, and that's more than enough for those conditioning them to achieve their goals.

The promise of convenience and capability sold at the gradual cost of everything else would sum up the whole situation.

Heck no, literally every young person loved affordable and cheap computers, loved PDAs, loved the internet, whatever was new was exciting to them. To today's youth those 90s or even 00s tech is ancient shit which they eagerly believe must be disposed of and replaced with whatever is carefully posed to them as "current" right now. They embrace "anonymous imageboards" over real-name identity Usenet and BBS systems, tactile mechanical keyboards, bittorrent as a replacement of buying shit on CDs/DVDs etc., Coreboot laptops with audited boot as a replacement for a personal computer with Clipper chip and backdoored cryptography, cameras and microphones everywhere, so there is less chance for police to frame you for what you didn't do, more privacy, shitty mainstream operating systems that actually don't BSOD every week or so, stuffing internet connectivity into everything without having to pay $500 for 28 kilobaud modem, and so on and so forth.

Have you never heard a kid say that they were "born in the wrong generation"?
