How secure is System76 laptop with disabled Intel Management Engine compared to other mainstream laptops?

However, the risk to all users if an an easily exploitable vulnerability is discovered in the future is extremely high, so it is still worth advocating against Intel ME.

Could you clarify what you mean by “advocating against Intel ME”? In this thread you said:

What people consistently fail to realize is that the following two things can be true simultaneously:

1. Intel ME is bad

2. You should not disable Intel ME

OP pressed for more info and you replied:

Well this is something that will be covered in actual detail when we write a KB article or post about this topic, I’m just saying what is the case for people who encounter this post in the meantime and have immediate concerns.

That was from September 2024. Is an article currently in the works? I’ll also mention that this discussion is being had elsewhere and people there are saying disabling ME is a net negative.
