How do I get a computer that won't have the NSA spy on me? Every Intel and AMD chip has a ME that allows direct remote access to your RAM, BIOS, OS, hardware, and can even boot your computer remotely. With all of the recent Intel security leaks over the last year, how do I get a machine where I have total freedom with it?

Leon3 is gnu/gpl, you can run into an fpga or get as asic.
Joshua Russell
Using an old cpu could be an option if you don't need much performance.

AMD reportedly now allows you to disable their ME. It is not clear wether or not it actually disables everything or what it disables. Not that verification matters when you have a billion transistors on a chip and it only takes a few to create your NSA backdoor in any stepping or new product launch. Hell, I'm sure NSA-like operations would pay you to implement their Backdoor IP's.

Easy, don't connect to the internet.

Get a Mac SE/30 with ethernet in the PDS slot. Install NetBSD. Done.
Austin Davis
A SPARC workstation basically.

Even if you have the safest PC, the NSA controls the network and will know everything you do on the net. Even tor isn't a real place to hide, as it has proven vulnerabilities that make it theoretically very easy to crack. And we know NSA's means are beyond any imagination.
Liam Thompson
Nothing is safe the NSA has a huge budget and team of hackers. Assume everything has exploits.

make your own from scratch
don't even trust off the shelf tools to dig up metal for your project, roll your own from base materials
Samuel James
Get a NxP ARM device or a pre-2013 AMD or pre thinkpad x210.
Jason King
SPARC
Pentium III
AMD Athlon
PowerPC
those are your options.
Ian Ward
Control your network to mitigate this

Been years since I visited here.
The nostalgia.

Alternatively, you could build a machine with a FX-9590, which doesn't have the PSP.
Another option is to go with coreboot, since it supports way more CPUs.

First of all, 90% of the backdoor shit people are freaking out about requires physical access. I've got some bad news for you, friendo, even if your system were totally backdoor-free, once someone has physical access that knows what they're doing, it's fucking game over anyway.
Does this make it okay for there to be backdoors in the first place? Absolutely fucking not, NOT one bit. But... It really doesn't matter that much because if you did something that put you on the NSA's radar to the point where they're seizing your shit, all those backdoors do is let them pound out more machines in a day that they've pulled the data from. You're still very much fucked.
My advice? Don't do shit that would make you a threat (perceived or real) to national security and you won't have an issue. I live very near to the NSA headquarters, and I've been inside the building more times than I care to remember (protip: the badges they give you to allow access into the building will literally expire after 120 minutes by changing color. DO NOT find yourself in a restricted area when your badge expires. You will end up sitting in a room explaining why you took longer than 2 hours to do what you came to do, and they will run a very deep background check on you, deeper than the one they run at the gate) and the people working there that monitor threats are already very busy and overworked, so if you think you're important enough for them to be spying on you, I suggest you seek professional help for your delusions. Unless you're actually part of a terrorist cell, in which case 1) wtf are you doing on a Norwegian fly fishing forum, and 2) kys

There are any hardware backdoors on modern gpu?
Luke Bailey
Silicon Graphics Fuel or Tezro. They are awesome and even today very usable for lot of tasks.
Nicholas Howard
Can you watch HD porn on the quad mips?
Adrian Perry
Of course. It was made for 2k 32bit uncompressed video editing. Discreet (now Autodesk) Flame used to run only on SGI Tezros.
Luis Barnes
After reading this thread it seems to be easier to fix the government than technical stuff they use.
Josiah Myers
for the average person NSA isn't a concern m8y
you should fear the google, facebook, microsoft, amazon
