      BEYOND RIGHT TO REPAIR: Why Your Laptop Should be Easy-to-Repair

Your security, freedom and privacy are important to us, which is why we 
built the Librem 14 laptop. This is an ultra-portable and security-first 
workstation for your office or home. Unlike the big fish, we do not make 
money by forcing you to throw your old device and buy a newer, 
expressive model. We want to give you the control to protect yourself, 
through technology. Instead of costly repairs or replacements, you can 
upgrade or repair it yourself. We want to be planet-friendly.

Our team came-up with step-by-step guides where you can learn how this 
works. The Librem 14 <https://shop.puri.sm/shop/librem-14/> is 
purposefully made for easy repair and upgrades. We show how simple it is 
to replace the RAM, WiFi, storage, and battery in part one 
<https://puri.sm/posts/repairing-librem-14-part-1-ram-wifi-storage-battery/>. 
We will show you how to finish the teardown by removing the motherboard 
and screen in part two

      FACING THE TRUTH: The IRS Backtracks on Biometrics After Backlash

Do you care about your privacy and security online? Most people do care, 
but they often /feel/ powerless to do something about it. Last week in 
the US, we came across an example involving the IRS (Internal Revenue 
service) where people felt strongly, came together to demonstrate their 
power. They pushed-back on implementing Facial Recognition Technology. 
We feel collective votes, market action and voices /can/ make a 
difference. Read on to stay abreast of the story:

      Did you hear about how Awesome Purism just became…with AweSIM?

Purism launched its AweSIM cellular service 
<https://puri.sm/products/librem-awesim/>. This service was designed 
specifically with privacy in mind, with an unlimited cellular plan so we 
don't have to track your usage, but more importantly it allows us to act 
as a privacy proxy between you and the major cellular providers. While 
it's true that phone, SMS, and data still go over those cellular 
networks, only Purism knows who a particular account belongs to.
