They've managed to disable the Intel ME in their laptops. https://puri.sm/posts/purism-librem-laptops-completely-disable-intel-management-engine/ https://puri.

  No they haven't. You can't "completely disable" the ME in modern Intel x86 laptops, it is literally instrumental in the boot process. They can turn on the HAP bit and run me_cleaner, this reduces the amount of code which runs on the ME. This is an attack surface reduction. It is wholly misleading to refer to it as outright disablement of the ME.
