https://puri.sm/learn/blobs/ Indeed, blobs seems to be one point. Another thing seems to be that they advertise that these laptops have no hidden features or remote control. How they could claim to guarantee this and how a customer could possibly believe them, I don't know. Having hardware kill switches is also nice, but guarantees that they truly stop any access to camera, mic, or whatnot might be hard to make. Trust or no trust, they might be offering some desirable hardware there. -- I appear to be temporarily using gmail's horrible interface.
