   @newt Oh, I'm super familiar with him. Sad there isn't a larger market for this. @foxhkron @SuperDicq

     @adiz@mtl.jinxian.casa @newt@stereophonic.space @foxhkron@cybre.club New CPUs don't respect your freedom and I find ultra high resolution displays to be inconvenient. I'm fine with my Thinkpad as it always was.

     @SuperDicq @newt @foxhkron @adiz Some Thinkpads do support hi-resolution 1920x1200 screens.

     @SuperDicq @newt @foxhkron @adiz if you put it that way, old CPUs don't respect my freedom of running heavy modern software

     @banshee@woof.tech I never said anything about privacy. This is about the freedom to know and control what your computer does. But I don't doubt that there are probably also privacy issues with modern CPUs that have Intel ME firmware or AMD PSP firmware integrated in them.
     
     The cut off for Intel is the i-series CPUs (i3, i5, i7, etc.) and for AMD the cut off is after the Bulldozer architecture.
     
     With many Core2Duo and Bulldozer CPUs you can replace the BIOS/EUFI firmware with GNU Boot, giving you as the user freedom over the firmware that runs on the motherboard.

     @SuperDicq
     How do new CPUs violate my privacy? And what is the cutoff? (year, architecture, features?)
