Well I would say Gordon could be correct. I say that due to
Intel ME and probably AMD SE:
The Intel ME can be disabled in the motherboard BIOS. Whenever
I build a new machine it is one of the first things that I
disable.
Also, the Linux kernel can be configured and built without
the MEI driver by disabling CONFIG_INTEL_MEI, which is located
here:
drivers/misc/mei
However, it is almost certain that most distros, and all of the
mainstream distros, have it enabled by default.
If you a Linux distro lackey, as most users are, then your
motherboard and your kernel both include Intel ME and therefore
you have no one to blame but your stupid, idiot, self.
