All of the biggest surveillance tracking was under the guise of anti-theft. Lojack, Intel ME anti theft, etc
"It's for your own good. trust us, we promise it's only for good stuff"
Do you have proofs that Intel ME was actually used for tracking?
😂😂 found one of 'em
😂😂 this is all very funny, bud, but if you make such assumptions without proofs you will quickly go insane.
Inel ME is ridiculously complex for the goal of collecting telemetry. Intel uses drivers for that purpose.
ME is likely used for security. Not yours, though:
cope, but also seethe. dilate, even.
Ya, kinda feel that. I mean Apple has the best anti theft features,yet they are stolen regularly 😔
But what good is a stolen locked iPhone?
Screen for parts and that’s about it.
