Check out the cutoff switches in Librem 5, in the future worth as much as an Apple 1.

It finally arrived after what feels like a decade of waiting...

This phone has a separate modem instead of an integrated one on pcb. In theory you can replace this modem with a US modem (I think 3 different modems are available)

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) announces that the Board of Directors has accepted Göran Marby’s resignation as President and Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Marby’s departure is effective immediately.

I wonder what happened here, effective immediately is really unusual.

@thomascovenant Nice I think every phone should have a few of these switches.

I'm sure Edward Snowden would be a very happy person to see that happening. I don't think it will ever happen of course.
