I think purism’s use of the term “disabled” may be quite different than
minimized and “neutralized”. If I understand correctly the Comet Lake
based Librem 14 you linked to is “disabled” via the soft-disable bit
whereas @fsflover earlier model was “neutralized”; to use purism
terminology.
c0d3z3r0’s open issue #340 ME cleaner still working for newer
platforms in the me_cleaner github appears to give more technical details.
To be totally honest I’m not sure what method purism is using on the
Librem 14 you linked to @ubersecure. Maybe there is minimal
minimization, maybe it’s just that they’re flipping the soft-disable
bit and calling that disabled.
I’d guess purism is playing semantic games, but hope I’m wrong. If you
or someone knows for sure, I hope they’ll chime in. Wish I knew more.
Best regards…
