I have a System76 Serval WS with AMD Ryzen 9 3900 and Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti manufactured last year. The laptop's internal display went wonky late last week but an external display still works fine. It's annoying to reboot -- the GPU drivers aren't loaded yet when the boot disk passphrase prompt is shown, so the external display doesn't show the passphrase prompt (and importantly: whether unlocking succeeded).

In the past they had pushed a driver update that disabled the laptop display when multiple monitors are connected. I had recognized the problem since their system drivers are open source and was able to recommend & review a PR to fix [0]. It was nice to

I asked David Jordan, the engineer working on the firmware updater. >Not only aren't updates initiated without permission, I wrote the code to make that literally impossible without changes to the installed python code. The code is available at https://github.com/pop-os/system76-driver and https://github.com/system76/firmware-update

I am the engineer at System76 currently working on this. We are using ME cleaner with -S on all systems where possible - HAP bit will be set AND code removed. All systems will then be tested thoroughly in this configuration before it is released to customers. Relevant source code can be found in the following places, keep in mind that it is still work in progress: - System76 Driver with Firmware Update support: https://github.com/pop-os/system76-driver/tree/firmware_artf... - Firmware Update Frontend: https://github.com/system76/firmware-update Please ask me anything
