Hello fellows
I was wondering which side would be better:
Having some old Thinkpad but with coreboot/linux installed and the ME therefore disabled, but having security flaws with ancient cpus and no microcode updates?
or
Having some new high end device, with proprietary uefi and just linux?
I‘m bothered about those 2 options… Privacy and Security are going hand in hand for me and with this consideration Coreboot/Libreboot just seem to be useless nowadays.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/results?search_query=intel
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
i am intrigued, can you give an example of a vulnerability as a result of no microcode updates?
Coreboot and Libreboot are useless right now since the motherboard designers meant for them to be so. If I could install Libreboot on everything, I’d be the happiest I could be, but that is sadly not possible. I’m surprised Google still pushes out Coreboot for every Chromebook they have, although Chromebooks are a different kind of cancer to deal with
