    You can disable it, and maybe remove it one day completely (I’d count replacing all of the intel code as removing it)

    Libreboot already disables the Intel ME by default, using me_cleaner, but the T480/T480s specifically have an additional quirk:

    One of the benefits of deguard for Intel MEv11 is that it sets the ME in such a state where you can run unsigned code in there. This is how the Intel Boot Guard was disabled, because it is the ME that enforces such restrictions; more information about deguard is available on a dedicated page.

    The deguard utility could also be used to enable the red-unlock hack, which would permit unsigned execution of new CPU microcode, though much more research is needed. Because of these two facts, this makes the T480/T480s the most freedom-feasible of all relatively modern x86 laptops.

    With deguard, you have complete control of the flash. This is unprecedented on recent Intel systems in Libreboot, so it’s certainly a very interesting port!

    Libreboot uses both me_cleaner and deguard on the T480/T480s.

    I think I’m going to move my patch to a sunnier spot too, for some meatier buds. I just go out there and lay under the plants sometimes it’s amazing.

    As much sun and air (through pruning) as possible, both are signs for the plant to grow those nugs as big as possible because they have the best chance to be pollinated.

    I also want to make some hemp cord so I can make friendship bracelets 😂 I want to use “every part of the buffalo”

    I hope you don’t plan to do it by hand. I seriously doubt you’ll have fun whacking rocks with branches in a stream for days just to get some scratchy twine. Less than a century ago it was common for women villagers to do it in my country.
