Intel PIII: Is Big Brother Inside?
Intel has revealed that each Pentium III chip will carry a unique serial number that can be read by the computer's software. Intel claims that the serial number will facilitate e-commerce, promote "digital content protection," prevent counterfeiting of Intel processors, and help to track stolen ones.
Isn't this post a little late?
Why do we even discuss this, I'm Li Wei, there are millions of Li Wei's out there. Who knows who really I am ?
I do not have an Intel laptop neither an Apple iPhone or any money on my accounts, why do I have to care about such little things, why all these things are so important for you, the life is so short, we will all die eventually, think about positive moments in your life, you will live longer ?
Which freaking device has no ID?
What kind of stupid a– paranoia spreading post is this?
Lol you are worried about intel tracking you. Your entire life is being documented already by Google, facebook and NSA.
Apple has serial numbers on their phones which they track. Google has a serial number for you. FB does too. Car manufacturers have a VIN for your car.
Get out of here
Big deal...Chinese already are able to uniquely id your machine without serial numbers....through AI.
Is it 1999 again?
Yet another reason not to buy it
