You can clean Intel ME with a USB programmer or RPi + cables, it isn't very hard.
By default it doesn't work over wifi so you don't have to worry about it if you use a laptop in which you never plug an ethernet cable.
Does the ME / PSP have its own address? How is an attacker going to correlate your online identity with it when you use a VPN or Tor? This is a legitimate question, I'm not asking it rhethorically.
There are BIOSes with a switch to disable it, but there's no way to check that it's actually disabled. That being said, PSP doesn't seem to be as pervasive as ME in the first place.
