Modern CPUs have a backstage cast
"...this is interesting is because POWER9 is basically the first time the public got a real view of how sophisticated the backstage cast actually is of a modern server CPU."
Not quite correct; the OpenSPARC T1 and T2 were publicly released and available by 2008.

"Large parts of this process are handled by vendor-supplied mystery firmware blobs, which may as well be boxes with “???” written in them.
The maintainers of the me_cleaner script likely have the clearest view of what is known.

Laptop with deactivated Intel ME running OpenBSD as a hardware wallet for top cryptos
I consider a dedicated laptop with deactivated Intel ME running OpenBSD (maybe from USB flash) can be a much secure alternative to a proprietary hardware wallet connected to your casual multi-purpose laptop.

Why I Use Old Hardware
If you are sensitive about the Intel Management Engine, the original Core 2 Duo/Quad systems are the last where it could be fully disabled.
Anything later will forcibly shut down after 30 minutes if (at least a fragment of) Intel's closed & bug-ridden monitoring code is not present.
I ran me_cleaner on a few of these systems, and I do all my finances with them running OpenBSD (usually on q9550s).
Yes, this effort to run old hardware is worth it for me. Below are the bios images that I was able to produce:

Ask HN: How to know if laptop enrolled in Intel Management Engine?
What's you're interested in is called Active Management Technology, it's not supported by all boards, but typically if it is there's a bios screen labelled something like "AMT Configuration" where it can be enabled or disabled.
https://virtualizationreview.com/articles/2020/01/13/configu...
Intel ME is its own can of worms and can only be fully disabled by modifying the firmware image, see tools like me_cleaner.

How to go about lost ME chip (for Thinkpad t440p)
I understand that for the bottom chip skulls runs me_cleaner described on github on the present chip content -> deleting the parts that are not necessary for starting the boot process. That is why I do not have a good image file for the lower chip as I could not manage to make a good backup of it.

Google announces official Android support for RISC-V
it's possible to disable intel management engine for all cpu's prior to 2009, and post 2009 you can disable many of the features. Combine this with a motherboard that supports libreboot and blobless boot, and you can LIBRE THE SHIT OUT OF IT WHEEEEeeeee

Question about IME
If you asking about the reference in the me_cleaner readme about full network access, this is less to do ME and more how it integrates with other Intel platforms. ME requires network access for platforms like Intel AMT. If your network card does not support enterprise level remote administration feature like AMT, you have nothing to worry about. If you ran ME cleaner, you also have nothing to worry about.
