All modern CPUs have backdoors. Dig into Intel ME or the AMD equivalent.
Duh.
Oh, are they about to unleash their new computer security marketing campaign to sell us motherboards? We know all about it from our conditioning on Microsoft software, the king of intelligence backdoors.
SuperMicro had an issue with their Chinese-made server boards a while back. They found "extra" components on their motherboards and didn't Ghislaine Maxwell's sisters produce some search software for Hewlett-Packard servers a while back? Intel also had some sort of security vulnerability in their chips as well. There was a Windows fix implemeted to hide it.
I would not be surprised to see the ten days of darkness only affect targeted individuals.
EVERY PC has built in backdoors. That's what Tailored access programs are for
Presumably this is for Windows machines and no other?
Gee, I thought that was the "Trusted Platform Module". And huge numbers of mobos have that, from every manufacturer.
