Summary: The above LibrePlanet talk by Denis Carikli is a remote (not physical presence) talk; it talks about bringing freedom to the hardware level (or closer to it) and it was uploaded by the FSF a few hours ago (slides here); From the official page: “But there is also software running before the operating system is even started (like BIOS, UEFI, the Management Engine or the PSP operating systems). They give the hardware manufacturers an enormous amount of control over the computers used by users, even if users use FSF-approved GNU/Linux distributions like Trisquel and Parabola. That control is for instance often used by hardware manufacturers to give companies the ability to remotely control users computers through features like AMT, and that control is independent of the operating system running on the computer. After giving some background for less technical users, we will look from a user point of view why and how to avoid nonfree software in that area.”
