Why exactly isn't there a setting or jumper to just disable this?
I don't really see a business reason for Intel to make this hard to do...
They could totally have made the machine reset if the ME couldn't be initialized. But they didn't.

In practice, the company was indeed a joint venture involving the US government who used a german proxy to sold compromised hardware to unsuspecting official. Everything went straigh to NSA.
Hm? That's what they did: if you disable too much of the ME the computer will reboot after 30 minutes.
The issue here is that ME can be disabled but intel doesn't want you, the "normal consumer", to disable it. Why?
