What is a MDM? Can it be wiped off, or is it ingrained in the motherboard?
One of the used Thinkpad I was looking at has a MDM. Is it going to be an issue? If so, can I bypass it? I'm going to be using Linux anyway, so would it cause any issue?
you are probably thinking of computrace, a rootkit installed by sysadmins that lives in the bios and can install backdoors, brick the computer, and create police reports. if it's an old thinkpad chances are the subscriptions are probably expired and it will automatically deactivate after about 15 minutes on wifi on windows.
