Our take on “enterprise”
While the highest profit margins in the PC industry come from large-volume purchases for businesses, this set up a downward spiral for user freedom. Business users are not the owners of their personal computer, which immediately divorces ultimate authority (“root”) from the end-user.
In “enterprise” environments, when malicious software is found, the machine is just “wiped” and the end-user is protected by the IT department’s hard work to secure the machine. In that environment, locking 100% of users into a black-box tamper-proof Management Engine (ME) makes a lot of sense.
Who is “root” gets even more complicated by using enterprise asset management and third-party tools.
Purism believes in end-user privacy, security, and freedom; users with full power over their computer can make a positive change for the future of computing. Therefore, we want users to choose to completely own their hardware instead of just getting to use it until its “end of life.”
Internet-connected users will update their BIOS faster, fixing security vulnerabilities as they are found. Better security saves you time and money. And it’s more fun when users have more freedom.
El Salvador's President is going to present a bill to call Bitcoin legal tender and move to add Bitcoin as 1%+ of the countries reserves to add 25%+ to the GDP. Nice ROI!

Looks like a pretty massive majority that the President's party has in the legislature, so odds are looking like a GO.
