All AMD Processors Since Phenom II Have BadBIOS Circuitry That Leaks to the Military

  • 🔧 At about Midnight EST I am going to completely fuck up the site trying to fix something.
Pretty plausible. They make a different version of their chips for the Chinese market with one of the modules swapped to one China wants.

But we need a source or it's useless.

Do you still think it's the 90's? Times have changed and intel fucking sucks now.

considering that the am386 court sperging between amd and intel happened before clinton even took office and that the am486/5x86, k6/k6-2 and original athlon chips were all pretty damn competitive when they were respectively released.. and come to think of it, the 64/64 x2 was fucking ace and phenom ii was still decent. actually i'm pretty sure bulldozer was the only time amd actively decided to fuck themselves up the ass

even as a third-rate conspiracy nut i'm not entirely sure what the fuck badbios even is - in general you should just operate under the assumption that all x86 cpus have been compromised for decades and that the cia is trying to come up with new "interrogation techniques" by looking at the shit you jack off to. at this point i'm convinced that the only truly airtight computer is a fucking abacus

I have an Atari ST which is similarly hackproof

Hey now, I give you a disk and tell you it's an unreleased ST game and you will pop that floppy in and the word "NIGGER" will scroll across your screen endlessly. Until you shut it off.

IME interfaces was around way before Intel implemented it, it was like RDP/VNC from the boot level on a separate network port so even if the server shit the bed it was accessible from the outside. It was introduced in 98-99 or so and was called IPMI. I think that the current IME is just parts of IPMI from the now defunct north bridge moved into the CPU. If you use a PCIe NUC it won't work, going back to the old two port solution.

How would you know to FOIA what you're looking for?

That’s all you need, is to describe documents that you know or have a hunch exist, you might get some run-around but the process is weighed in the requesters favor. So with a little homework it would be trivial to find a thread to start pulling, if one were so inclined. There are journalists who made careers out of throwing FOIA at the wall and seeing what sticks.

Thanks for explaining it all. I've been planning on sending an FOIA to my state government, but I had no idea whether specific documents had to be requested or not.

It will be a back-and-forth process but it’s really not that difficult, they’re banking that a lack of guidance will have a chilling effect and it works. Let me know if you want any assistance drafting it, I can show you one I did to the national guard of Florida asking about covid infections that didn’t go anywhere but it still serves as a template
