Where did you hear about a reputation for durability? I’m familiar with the phrase “if you can’t afford two BMWs you can’t afford one” because of how hard it is to maintain them

Yes please, I use my quest 2 sparingly but would love a to hit it with custom firmware

I’m going to add my +1 for framework, I got the batch 5 original framework 13 with pop os on it and a windows 10 copy on a 250gb expansion card. Its been my main work and play laptop and I enen replaced the main chassis after it got smashed (long story) involving the sidewalk. Anyway I love what framework is doing and the decision has arguably already paid off within these last two years.

I agree, it takes a lot of copium to believe that all of this “phasing out by 2050” shit itsnt straight pandering. Its like a smoker with lung cancer saying they’ll quit in a few years. We are hopelessly addicted to our lifestyles that depend on fossil fuels. The only one thats ultimately going to shift our society is mother nature when she eradicates us through famine, extreme weather and chaos

The point is if they do it for this there is no reason they wouldn’t do it to other forms of media. Youre either introducing a strawman argument or missing the point

Sacrificing privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying you’re ok giving up free speech because you have nothing to say

Lol I’m sure they’ll implement those planned green measures… Any day now…

Hmm, tracks. I will continue using nothing from them

I think I’ll just upgrade to sailing the high seas rather than paying these clowns

One of the best mind bending and heart wrenching video games I’ve played in a long time-Soma

Since they were purchased by epic games last year, roughly half of the original staff were laid off. Being bought by a corporate entity that values profitability over all esle is devastating to a website like this where music (and culture) have thrived

They’re not doing these jobs for fun. These are people that have themselves and their families to care for. Its possible to be mistreated at your job while also needing the income from your job

I suppose that depends on how urgently you need a new computer. I waited several weeks for one of the first releases, but have been using it the last two years and it has been well worth it. I accidentally smashed the case when it slipped out of my bag on concrete and was thankful I got a framework when I was just able to swap it with a new shell of their marketplace within a week

Who watches the watchmen?

Thats horrifying

I also agree with this sentiment. I got a used t440p which I used for years in school before upgrading to the framework 13. I still love my old thinkpad, but its now my cheap in home media server. I would agree that old thinkpad are easy to find and a cheap (but still very useable and still to some extent repairable) option for work and school.

(X) Doubt

Seriously though, outside of work I kicked windows out of my house in 2020 and haven’t needed to go back. To be fair, my job doesn’t have any software requirements that would tether me to windows, but the gaming performance this year has been nearly flawless for the majority of my library, beyond anticheat some games actually run better on linux when you consider the reduced overhead in a lighter distro

Would it be possible to create a fork of chromium to avoid google’s influence?

Agreed! I highly recommend waistline after using it for three years. If definetly gets easier once you logged most of your frequent foods. Its a but scarce for unpackaged foods (eg… Fruits and vegetables) and alcohol, but overall more than a suitable replacement for my fitness pal.
