Todd Weaver (CEO of Purism) interviewed on Digital Trends Live.
They talked about hardware kill switches, the Librem 5 smartphone, releasing hardware schematics, and ethical online services.
Our laptops have visible Philips screws on the bottom. You can remove the bottom case yourself, without any special tools and without Purism’s permission, and get access to the RAM, drive bays and the battery–and replace them yourself.

Today we answer the age old question...
What boots faster:
- a Librem 5 smartphone running PureOS (GNU/Linux)
- or a run of the mill Android phone
Blog & MP4: https://puri.sm/posts/librem-5-vs-android-which-boots-faster/
These are hardware kill switches.
Not a webcam cover. Not software disabled Wi-Fi. Kill switch.
Laptops should have these.
Ours do.
It doesn't happen often but, when the stars align just right, you can find some good discounts at the Purism store.
Right now Librem 15 laptops can be found for $250 off -- and the pre-order for the Librem 5 smartphone is going up by $50 in June.
Sensor calibration settings can be used by apps/sites to fingerprint iOS and Android phones.
We added a "Lockdown Mode" for the Librem 5 which allows you to defend against this.

The Librem One suite of online services (Chat, Social, Tunnel, & Email) wouldn't be possible without the amazing work of countless Free Software developers all around the world.
Here's a primer on the stellar projects we work with to make it possible:
