🔐 What happens when Big Tech can suddenly cut off your access?
The ICC in The Hague experienced this when its chief prosecutor lost access to his Microsoft email account following US sanctions.
It's a reminder of why digital sovereignty matters.
🐧 At NovaCustom, we believe in Linux, open-source firmware and giving users control over their own devices.
Digital freedom starts with control.

🔧 Happy International Repair Day!
Technology should be built to last, not thrown away when something breaks.
At NovaCustom, we believe in the right to repair. That's why our laptops feature replaceable components, and we offer spare parts for at least 7 years.
💻 Repair, don't replace!
A big shoutout to Right to Repair Europe (they are not on Mastodon!?) for their efforts in making repair accessible to everyone!

🔐 How do you know your laptop has not been tampered with?
Heads firmware checks your firmware and boot partition before starting Qubes OS. A Nitrokey and optional TOTP verification warn you when unexpected changes are detected.
