Ah of course.
- They could simply strongarm my ISP to give them the public IP of my home router in Arizona.
- The could use the Intel ME (or other CPU equivalents) on the router to get access to my home computer.
- And same for my home computer.
So maybe I wasn’t so wrong after all. Maybe my paranoia was well-founded!
So doesn’t the secret to success (ability to use latest/fastest high-end Intel CPU on home computer) now boil down to: Putting it behind a ROUTER with the ME neutralized? Anyone know of such routers?
Since routers don’t need as much CPU power, it shouldn’t be a big deal to have them with an older fully ME neutered CPU - or even without any ME to begin with!
