<h2>Spotlight on the Restricted Boot Option on Librem 14</h2>
<p>Most Big Tech efforts to secure the boot process give the vendor
control over what software you are allowed to boot on your laptop,
with keys they control.</p>
<p>Purism has released Pureboot <a
href="https://source.puri.sm/firmware/releases/-/blob/master/changelog.md#pureboot-release-23">version
23</a>. It offers a new high-security feature called <em>Restricted
Boot</em>. By default PureBoot will allow you to boot any USB
disk you choose, and offers a failsafe boot mode so you can boot
into your system even if signatures don't match. Restricted Boot
tightens down boot security so you can only boot trusted, signed
boot images.</p>
<p>Let's see how you tighten down your boot security with <a

<h2>How to Hardware Flash your Librem 14 Boot Firmware</h2>
<p>While we design <a
href="https://docs.puri.sm/PureBoot/GettingStarted.html">PureBoot's
defaults</a> to meet most people's needs, you can also create
your own version with custom features, pre-approved USB keys.</p>
<p>You can flash your custom PureBoot using the built-in menu. If
your custom build has an issue, you can recover from bugs that
stop the boot firmware from loading on your Librem 14 by hardware
flashing the BIOS with a chip flasher. We show you how to unbrick
your Librem 14 with the help of <a href="

<h2>Purism at "Le Capitole du Libre" in France</h2>
<p>This year we supported the French Free Software event "<a
href="https://capitoledulibre.org/">Le Capitole du Libre</a>" in
the city of Toulouse.</p>
<p>We shared our philosophy about making computer devices that
respect people's digital rights to privacy, security and freedom.
We also demonstrated the <a
href="https://puri.sm/products/librem-14/">Librem 14</a> as a
powerful laptop with its 12 threads CPU and maxed out 64 GB of
RAM. Next to the Librem 14, we had a couple of Librem 5 demo
devices along with a dock that was attached to a mouse, a
keyboard, and an external 32-inch monitor. People could try the
laptop and the phones at the booth.</p>
