Howdy all,
(This is a few months old, but I haven't seen it discussed here.)
It's really good to see this, and a good reminder that every impossible to break wall has a weak spot. Hopefully we can use this opportunity to liberate some more machines and have them running as free as possible BIOSes. I don't exactly know the issues with Intel ME since it's such a closed system, but the fact that we don't know what it does and that it prevents itself from being removed is a good enough reason to remove it, I think. It might be worth looking at the list of supported hardware of me_cleaner <https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner/issues/3> and go hunting for newer hardware than 2008 thinkpads. Jookia.
