> Why does this need to be built in at such a low level that not even flashing a new OS can see it/stop it? Why can't it be something users can opt in to, or at a minimum opt out of? Whether sinister or not, it's a "call home" mechanism built into to the lowest levels of the hardware, an area where users are powerless, even though they "own" the device. It's done by the ROM, at the OS level, not the chipset. Some custom ROMs will proxy this request to mask your IP. |
