Intel Management Engine (ME) - disable it - the better way!
* me_cleaner is a shitty way to disable it because:
- PTE isn't fully disabled
- not works for everyone
- might result in crashes or only works for half hour till it restarts
- https://github.com/corna/me_cleaner
Better version:
- patches Bios code (me firmware)
- works better especially for Core i-6000, Core i-7000

- reserve_hap 0/1 switch is 'best' solution so far //High Assurance Platform (HAP) enable
Problems:
- Boot Guard broken (no one knows exactly what happens here)
- Not works for very CPU (not works with e.g Atom Celerons, Xeon,...)
- Not every part decrypted (yet)
- No easy to use 'tool' avbl. for everyone
