me_cleaner Python script able to modify an Intel ME firmware image with the final purpose of reducing its ability to interact with the system. https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner Intel ME Intel ME is a co-processor integrated in all post-2006 Intel boards, which is the base hardware for many Intel features like Intel AMT, Intel Boot Guard, Intel PAVP and many others. To provide such features, it requires full access to the system, including memory (through DMA) and network access (transparent to the user). Unlike many other firmware components, the Intel ME firmware can't be neither disabled nor reimplemented, as it is tightly integrated in the boot process and it is signed. This poses an issue both to the free firmware implementations like coreboot, which are forced to rely on a proprietary, obscure and always-on blob, and to the privacy-aware users, who are reasonably worried about such firmware, running on the lowest privilege ring on x86. What can be done Before Nehalem (ME version 6, 2008/2009) the ME firmware could be removed completely from the flash chip by setting a couple of bits inside the flash descriptor, effectively disabling it. Starting from Nehalem the Intel ME firmware can't be removed anymore: without a valid firmware the PC shuts off forcefully after 30 minutes, probably as an attempt to enforce the Intel Anti-Theft policies. However, while Intel ME can't be turned off completely, it is still possible to modify its firmware up to a point where Intel ME is active only during the boot process, effectively disabling it during the normal operation, which is what me_cleaner tries to accomplish. #intel#me#mecleaner

Hi all, As Aurora Store, team behind & its user base grows, the requirement to keep things going on for free and open source also increases. This made me make an autocratic decision to include promotional app in Aurora, these apps will be more of sponsors and are intended to help Aurora OSS project financially. The Promotional Apps will appear in For You page and is completely optional. You don't want to see it, you can disable it from Settings -> Customization. This section would also allow us to add all apps that have been banned on PlayStore for some reason, but only if the dev wants to add. For now, there is a single app 1XBet more will likely come soon. Use the promo-code 1XAURORA if you would like to try it out. A detailed proceeding regarding the same will be updated to the wiki & policy soon. Thanks - Aurora OSS Get latest build here : https://t.me/AuroraSupport/218733

Democracy in Telegram groups Many of us spend time in specialized telegram groups. The power over communication here belongs to random people with their own shortcomings. Conflict and abuse occurs regularly. Is there another way to keep order so that scam spam doesn't flourish and no one has total control over group members? In my case, these thoughts led to the development and testing of a system that can be connected to your Telegram today. First of all, you need to determine what is the key aspect, the currency of the system. Not karma and not points, not likes and not a rating. Time itself became it. What follows from this? https://habr.com/en/post/556474/ #telegram#democracy#whatUthink 📡@nogoolag
