Wonderful. I assume this means NV41 laptops that are currently in use are fused by default until the optional configuration setting is implemented?
- No, they are not fused for now. The fusing process will be optional during the firmware boot, users will be prompted for this.
- I see that LVFS support is still planned for Q3-2024 so how should QubesOS/Linux users update their firmware in the meantime?
- By using the Dasharo Tools Suite (DTS). Here is the documentation to update the firmware: Firmware update - Dasharo Universe
How long do NovaCustom (specifically NV41) laptops generally receive firmware updates?
- At least 5 years after your purchase. It is likely to be longer, because it is likely that another customer purchases after you.
Are there any plans to support enterprise CPUs that offer TME to achieve HSI-4 or no plans as of yet?
- Unfortunately, it is not feasible. We have the Ultra 5 125H and Ultra 7 155H CPUs for the next generations. We asked our ODM provider (Clevo) to deliver enterprise CPUs to make TME possible. Sadly, the MOQ for this was 10,000 units, which for our company is too small for now.
