Wired and Vice need a second to write it up, and see if it hits the mainstream &lt;i&gt;before&lt;/i&gt; declaring the issue ignored.&lt;p&gt;Not saying it &lt;i&gt;will&lt;/i&gt; get picked up, though I sure hope it does, but as you point out, it&amp;#x27;s a bit obscure and takes some explaining.&lt;p&gt;Still, there are numerous reports that the Facebook app on your phone &lt;i&gt;listens to every word you say&lt;/i&gt; to show you ads for things you were talking aboutm but on HN and other web forums, there are always an element of disbelief. We may believe that it must be something else - correlation to web searches from the same IP, but there&amp;#x27;s never been proof one way or the other. (A Facebook exec&amp;#x27;s claim doesn&amp;#x27;t count as proof.)&lt;p&gt;So there&amp;#x27;s a section of people that believe they &lt;i&gt;already have&lt;/i&gt; high resolution recording devices that we take into to bed. What&amp;#x27;s one more?&lt;p&gt;(Typing this, very gratefully, from an ARM Chromebook.)</text><parent_chain><item><author>WhitneyLand</author><text>One way to think of ME is, we all woke up one day and discovered we have had high resolution night vision spy cams installed in our bedrooms.&lt;p&gt;The next realization is there is no way to turn them off or remove them.

Why?&lt;p&gt;HN may be uniquely positioned to show us the answer. Take a community of people with generally above average interest and&amp;#x2F;or knowledge in this stuff, and the comments are filled with questions asking what the hell ME even is.&lt;p&gt;Apparently, ME is the perfect combination of opaque, obtuse, and obscure. It’s not rocket science, but complicated enough it’s hard to explain well quickly. It’s easy to be a highly technical person yet never have the need to cross paths with the subject. There has been some press, some activity, but all of that is simultaneously dampened for the same reasons.</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>“We have obtained fully functional JTAG for Intel CSME via USB DCI”</title><url>https://twitter.com/h0t_max/status/928269320064450560</url></story>

Tomorrow, there would be a simple and clear [screaming] headline similar to &amp;quot;Russians hacked the election&amp;quot; (general public doesn&amp;#x27;t need to know or understand how the network, computers or elections actually work). The day after tomorrow it would be illegal to buy anything Intel.</text><parent_chain><item><author>WhitneyLand</author><text>One way to think of ME is, we all woke up one day and discovered we have had high resolution night vision spy cams installed in our bedrooms.&lt;p&gt;The next realization is there is no way to turn them off or remove them.
