ok So we have something to talk about here. So I've noticed there's something called a hardware enforced no logging #vpn and it's located at vp.net .
In theory this does sound promising, but I've noticed some issues with it. And it makes it look more like a scam VPN.
1st off, it uses the #intel SGX, or Intel software guard extension as it's Real name the problem with the trusted execution environment is that it's closed source. And you can't really verify If it actually works For all we know it could be running aside Intel management engine.
Second. And this is probably what makes it not anonymous. It requires a fucking #kyc EG credit card, stripe/link, amazon, et cetera. At least @mullvadnet Does not require KYC, and cannot be linked back to you because It uses randomly generated account numbers and Is even more anonymous if you pay in #monero XMR. Even has an onion service. But this? This VPN doesn't. So if that is part of your #privacy test this VPN in particular fails it.
As @kkarhan puts it, KYC is the illicit activity.
And by the way I'm talking about the VPN mentioned earlier not MULLVAD, That passes the privacy test. Just wanted to be clear about that before I go on to my next statement.3rd, again even though Client is open Client is open source it uses Client is open source it uses proprietary components like Intel SGX. Oh and by the way I don't think this particular VPN has undergone independent #security #audit. There are several red flags here and I would not use this particular VPN. If you're looking for privacy with a VPN I would use mullvad!

The #Intel 286 was an odd one. It had a 24-bit addressing mode (improved from the 8086/8088's 20-bit addressing) with protected virtual memory, so that was cool. But using this mode was a one-way trip: the only way to get back to the 8086/8088 “real” mode was to reboot!

But the #IBM engineers designing the PC/AT had other plans…

Atlas-OS/Atlas: 🚀 An open and lightweight modification to Windows by #Acer and #Intel, designed to optimize performance, privacy and usability. - #AtlasOS, or Atlas, is an open-source project (#MIT / #GPLv3)that enhances #Windows by conveniently applying privacy, usability, and performance optimizations, all while maintaining functionality and customizability.

Get Linux or waste time with this ? Intriguing.

Gewalttätige Demonstrationen verhindern Intels Chipfabrik in Magedeburg.

Fake, klar.

Versprochen waren 3000 neue Arbeitsplätze und Deutschland wollte die Fabrik mit 9,9 Mrd € Subventionen unterstützen. (Aus dem "Klimafont").
Nach Adam Ries wären das 3,3 Millionen € pro Arbeitsplatz.
