Apparently not, if you have a battery. If you're talking desktop, possibly, at least to prevent while-sleeping exploits. But it's tracking and sending everything done, regardless of vpn. Nasty.
I read that IME needed an ethernet connection to power up your computer when it is off. It is not possible for it to turn power on over a powered down wifi adapter.
So you are probably OK overnight if not using a physical wired connection to the router.
I had not heard of any 3g or 4g capability of IME but I am by no means an expert on it. (Edit:- Seems I may be wrong but it may be Called ProV and AMT)
There is some power supplied over ethernet although I am not sure if IME can use this to run. You would be better using a wifi adapter or disconnecting the ethernet at night than the power in my understanding. Any air-gapped computer should be immune.
You would need a PoE capable switch to power up any device.. and the device would have to be capable which most systems aren't except for phones, cameras, APs... devices designed to have no power cable.
I turn off my router and all my devices at night. Id think the lack of wifi would probably be a detriment. But then all Im doing at that time is sleeping anyway.
Im not really worried about the spying. I figure Im done for if they begin rounding people up enmasse anyway. I turn wifi and devices off to limit the radiation my family soaks up in a 24 hour period.
When Patriots win this thing somethings got to be done about the radiation. Have you ever wondered about the explosion of tinnitus around the country. Im certain its the wifi and phones. I have constant tinnitus but am otherwise healthier than 90% of my age group. It began around the time wifi became ubiquitous and the phones went from flip to smart.
Yes! We have been wired Ethernet in our house for 10 years after I got sick streaming video calls all day. That year we grew a table full of tomato starts in our basement near the WiFi router and the ones closest to the router all dies, then in between ones that survived but were weak, then the decent ones were several feet further away. We are doing this to our bodies why?!
Me too. At times it if deafening at night. My hearing is excellent and what I hear is not run of the mill tinnitus. At least I know that I am not the only one.
Would physically powering down (and unplugging) your computer at night help?

Also remove the battery if that applies.

The IME has cellular on the chip
Really. They got their bases covered, dont they?

Earbuds are way worse for your ears than cans or 90s headphones.

I did not know this.
Edit:- It seems they have some capability over 3g under AMT (Active management technology). It's hard to keep up with this shite.
