Let's be pragmatic. Does anyone know if ME blockers work? Can you please post one if it does? Can we start a list? Are the destination ips it can be controlled from hard coded, can it be blocked via simple firewall rules?

EG tool: https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner

List? https://github.com/ransom1538/intel_me_cleaners/

You can use me_cleaner, and it's better than nothing, but the ME is still required for booting the motherboard.
