Neutrality

I marked the article with {{POV}} because it is missing significant viewpoints, specifically the fact that Intel Management Engine cannot be audited, cannot be disabled, and is a de facto binary blob that has been criticized by the FSF and other open source software advocates. This page reads too much like a pro-Intel piece. ViperSnake151 Talk 13:33, 16 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Good move, considering the custodians at NSA, GCHQ, etc etc will hardly permit marking as an Imperial snow job as opposed to company sales pitch. Nice touch calling a back door a "bug"!--Alkhowarizmi (talk) 13:49, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Intel Active Management Technology System Defense and Agent Presence Overview link

The original link was dead, so I replaced it with an updated link. However, the file that Intel hosts has no extension. It's a PDF file, and renaming it manually fixes the issue. However I don't know how to make a note of that in the reference itself so future readers know what to do. What's the best solution?

I checked your diff which changed

http://cache-www.intel.com/cd/00/00/32/09/320960_320960.pdf

to

https://software.intel.com/sites/default/files/82/9f/41003

I downloaded the file from the new URL and it is a valid PDF document titled "Intel Active Management Technology, System Defense and Agent Presence Overview".

I don't know how best to indicate what is going on in the reference. The documentation at {{cite web}} mentions "pdf", and asking on its talk might be best. Or, someone at WP:HELPDESK will know what to do. Johnuniq (talk) 23:42, 24 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
