> Purism do not respect users’ freedom: https://libreboot.org/faq.html#will-the-purism-laptops-be-supported That statement is true at one level, unfair at another level. No one has found a way to completely turn off the Management Engine (Intel's hardware back door). The machine cannot boot without it. People have found a way to disable the Management Engine once it finishes booting, so that is what Purism does. This is not entirely satisfactory, I agree. But it isn't Purism's fault. People must make up their own minds about whether this is good enough, but don't condemn Purism for it. -- Dr Richard Stallman Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://gnu.org, https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
