    Good.

    We always knew it was there. They sold their soul to the NSA decades ago.

      I remember the day I saw the “Intel! Inside” commercial and the logo, and I thought, I don’t fucking trust this company.

      Yeah no shit Intel inside, you’ve got every fucking three letter agency inside.

      I knew it was over the day they introduced UEFI and TPM.

          Pen and paper.

          And be suspicious about the paper.

        Wait what’s wrong with UEFI? My computer uses it, although I have an AMD chipset if that makes a difference…
