Who would’ve thought…
are there archive pages for cgtn or other such domains? I’m not sure if because behind the office firewall, but I can’t read the contents, just the titles, :( Perhaps both URLs, the original one, plus sort of an archive one…

No, IME is a proprietary subchip that has access to what your CPU is doing and virtually never turns off. IME is basically a full backdoor. Qualcomm is doing insecure telemetry that violates GDPR, but it’s not a backdoor.

I wonder if Mediatek is any better. They’re the biggest competition that Qualcomm has right now (except for maybe Samsung’s Exynos), but honestly, I wouldn’t be shocked if everyone’s doing this.
It’s almost certain that all telecom companies do this.

basically if you want to do something privately then don’t use a computer
