I made a mistake when I wrote the post mixing up disable and neutralized but I hoped everyone would understand I'm talking about disabling it.

My Librem 14 has disabled ME; my Librem 15 has both disabled and neutralized ME. Both with Heads, TPM and Librem Key. I don't understand how the difference between disabled and neutralized matters here.

Yeah I didn't know it was possible because some laptops have the TPM in a seperate chipset than the one that has intel me. I thought they only set the hap bit to neutralize but I learned here that they can also disable it on laptops that have TPM on a 2nd chipset.
