Unfortunately it lost me at the risk to brick my computer. Intel needs to be brought to court to stop enabling IME, not with hacks. If i have to use IME, the system I use will be considered insufficient for secure purposes and i'll just use another system for secure matters.


The risk of bricking isn't so bad as long as you keep a copy of the original firmware. If the patched firmware doesn't boot, you can always revert back.
