Who would’ve thought…
Is this the equivalent of Intel management engine?
No, IME is a proprietary subchip that has access to what your CPU is doing and virtually never turns off. IME is basically a full backdoor. Qualcomm is doing insecure telemetry that violates GDPR, but it’s not a backdoor.
similar sort of thing from the sound of it
Qualcomm has TrustZone, and Assange’s revelations had Qualcomm’s friendship among 80 corporation list with NSA.
are there archive pages for cgtn or other such domains? I’m not sure if because behind the office firewall, but I can’t read the contents, just the titles, :( Perhaps both URLs, the original one, plus sort of an archive one…
If you have Firefox, install Resurrect Pages addon. You will have easier time with geoblocked webpages.
Didn’t know about this add-on, I’ll try it. I believe the issue is about geoblocking webpages. Thanks !
I wonder if Mediatek is any better. They’re the biggest competition that Qualcomm has right now (except for maybe Samsung’s Exynos), but honestly, I wouldn’t be shocked if everyone’s doing this.
It’s almost certain that all telecom companies do this.
hell at&t was secretly splitting fiber to siphon all traffic on their backbone to the nsa back in like 2005 … if they’re going to those lengths you can be sure they’re considering all the other avenues as well
basically if you want to do something privately then don’t use a computer
