If I understand correctly the Comet Lake
based Librem 14 you linked to is “disabled” via the soft-disable bit

I think this is accurate:

So now I have a newer ME (version 11.0.18.1002) that is disabled thanks to the HAP bit

@Justin

I’d guess purism is playing semantic games, but hope I’m wrong.

They invented simple words “disabled” and “neutralized” and stick to them. What’s wrong with that? IMO it makes it easier for the public to understand compared with “HAP bit”.

According to this interesting thread from 2021 on Purism forum, Librem 14 has an Version 12 ME. Not sure if that means you got yours before then?
