I'm holding off on adding suggestions to the intro because dngray provided some feedback to this section on Matrix (right after you announced that this page is ready on the on-topic room) that you may want to read.


For convenience, here's dngray's feedback.

looking much better already 👍️

While browsing privacy forums, I often see a lot discussions regarding x86 hardware security features. Unfortunately, most of the threads are riped with misinformation. In this post, I will bad advices I have seen.

i'd probably re-word that lolz, because some of those words aren't words
"Often when browsing privacy forums there are misconceptions surrounding x86 platform security, particularly in relation to "What laptop should I purchase?" In this post I'll make some recommendations about what I think are the best options and why.
for example, because advices isn't a word, and riped isn't either
and quite often misinformation is actually just a misconception, a conceived thought that a person has thought was true but actually isn't. It's a better word because people often associate misinformation with something done on purpose.
so it's probably the word you're actually looking for

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/misinformation as opposed to which is generally on purpose

the opening paragraph of any blog article should be clear about it's intentions
that is your opportunity to capture the reader's attention

- It is detectable. An easy way is to just go visit port 16992/tcp on your device.
- To be extra sure, you can also run `nmap` to scan the port from a different device.
