1. purchase license for remote recovery service. 2. enable service on laptop bios, encrypt drive, enable intel kill switch. 3. now I can see all computer's GPS history in a nifty web portal. It has pretty maps and charts, good manager bait. Now I can set fences based on country, state etc to start a wipe and shut down if it leaves that fenced area. 4. User reports stolen laptop, we report to security service. 5. Remote wipe sensitive directories, execute any custom commands. 6. Alert cops to pick it up, start a timer for kill switch based on battery life. 7. Cops don't pick it up, battery is low, disable machine completely with intel switch (only new part here). If you own a laptop, get in the bios right now and look for computrace activation. If it is a business class machine, it is already there and has been for years. If you don't like it, don't get an aircard. All of this technology is up and running for me and a lot of other corporations. If you don't like it, and you work for me, fine. Quit. If you are a home consumer, disable it. Every other service on your computer is equally vulnerable to unknown unwritten malware.
