Since sandybridge its been worse. This was all mostly scrubbed off the net but let me share this. When Sandybridge was released Intel had slides they showed the public and hosted on their site that said this was the first processor with 3G connectivity (before we had 4g/5g/etc). This was sold as "a way to disable a cpu that has been stolen". Immediately it stunk. Who would you call to do this? Intel?
This was around the same time Microsoft was trying to rollout Palladium which was their new DRM at the time everyone knew was going to turn into what today is.
Then the 3G stuff all was silently not brought up again and scrubbed from past pages. If you look hard enough you can go find mentions of this on your own. Similar to the old Microsoft Telemetry pages that mentioned "employees could remotely access your computer even if off to download relevant files relating to a support request generated by Telemetry."
Then that was all scrubbed too.
You people are fools for not actually archiving anything.
