*Improved Delivery Time for Librem 5 USA*

Great news: our teams have worked hard to overcome a number supply chain 
and manufacturing challenges for the Librem 5 USA 
<https://puri.sm/products/librem-5-usa/> and have been steadily shipping 
through orders this Spring. Here is the latest update 
<https://puri.sm/posts/improved-delivery-time-for-librem-5-usa-may-2022-update/> 
for our customers about how close we are to closing the gap  between our 
demand for the phone, and its faster delivery.

It's been really gratifying to hear all of the positive feedback from 
Librem 5 USA customers who now have their phones. Sharing some love with 
you:

"Your Librem 5 USA is exactly the product I have searched for, for years."

"Yesterday I received my Librem 5 USA. It is everything I expected and 
much more. The wait has been well worth it. All aspects including the 
delivery, packaging, quick start guide, and fit and finish of the USA 
rate 10 out of 10."

*The Second Best Time to Protect Your Privacy*

The last few decades have seen a dramatic increase in the depth and 
breadth of privacy invasions from Big Tech companies. Few people took 
active steps to protect their privacy 20 years ago, but the second best 
time to protect your privacy is now.

If you care about your privacy, what should you do, right now? Start by 
helping build an ecosystem that protects others. Get started now, says

*Improving the Stability and Reliability with a Modular Modem in the 
Librem 5*

Our team is continously improving the Librem 5 experience. The Librem 5 
<https://shop.puri.sm/shop/librem-5/> phone is a pretty exceptional 
device. It's a general- purpose computer running the same software that 
laptops run. Plug in a cellular modem into a laptop and you have roughly 
the same thing in just a different form factor. One of the hardest 
things these days is to get a removable cellular modem card that does 
audio calls in the first place. Learn how our teams are overcoming this, 
here

*Camera: It's Complicated.*

Cameras are like puzzles with several components and light sensors that 
work together. Dorota Czaplejewicz shares how the team is improving the 
camera experience based on Linux. Read the full post 
<https://puri.sm/posts/cameras-its-complicated/> to know more about how 
we are innovating in this area.

*Privacy Washing: Do As I Say, Not As I Do*

Privacy has became a buzzword in Big Tech's marketing lexicon. In a 
world where action speak louder than words, when these companies say 
something is for privacy, it's really about control.
