There is an option in their BIOS to turn it off. This seems available on some
models like the "InfinityBook Pro 14 - Gen7", but not all of them. It is
mentioned under the security section.

Some security specialist around Dmitri Skljarow found in 2017 how to switch
off parts of the ME on Skylake and Kabylake processors. [1] I don't know if
Tuxedo's solution is based on that or if there are other/newer approaches for
it.
