Your only real escape would be to run a CPU that's so old or
low-spec that you wouldn't have the performance to run a modern
web browser with Javascript support. Of course those web browsers
are where people generally enter information worth snooping on now,
so there's no real escape anymore.

You simply need a non enterprise CPU that doesn't have the mini minix.
That feature costs money. And has to be enabled in the BIOS. The BIOS
may not have support for it, and then the feature is dead, useless.

 It seems that you're talking about a specific documented exploit like
this one:

No, I am not talking about a exploit, but a computer department feature that you can buy or not.
You simply have to buy processors or motherboards without the feature.
It costs money to have this feature. Just don't buy it.
If your computer is a work computer that has been provided by the company, it is their choice and their problem, not yours.
