Thank goodness for Framework laptops being repairable ... I just accidentally stomped on my wife's Framework 13, cracking the LCD panel. Ordered a replacement and it's on the way ...

#frameworklaptop #righttorepair

✍🏻 New blog post! 📰

About a year ago, I replaced my MacBook Pro with a #FrameworkLaptop 13 — and I'm amazed at how much more you can get out of a grand less

https://blog.sebin-nyshkim.net/posts/one-year-with-the-framework-laptop-13/

I need a new laptop (and your help).

I recently lost my «Framework Laptop 13» (Intel 12th Gen i7, 64GB RAM) on the train. It never reappeared, although it was left in a train heading for the depot. (Was it stolen by the cleaning personal?)

Now I need a new device.

I'm not really keen on getting another Framework device because of their «Big Tent» approach (and supporting far-right activists without regretting it), even though they have really nice hardware. Looking at you, @frameworkcomputer.

The new device should have about the same specs as the old one: a recent CPU, at least 64 GB of memory, be around the same size and weight as the «Framework 13», be easily repairable and upgradable. It will run Fedora. An open firmware would be a plus.

Is there anything out like this?

I'm thinking about getting a Tuxedo laptop (@tuxedocomputers), but I’m not entirely sure if it's the best fit. Does anyone have suggestions for a device that meets these criteria.

What are your suggestions? Thanks for any hints.

Anyone else experiencing panel scuffing from their Framework laptop keyboard?

In fairness it's not only the Framework, all recent laptops I've owned have this problem. My older laptops - X200 and X220 - never did because the depth of the bezel ensured the panel never touched the keyboard.

#frameworklaptop

Quick tech question.
Does the battery below qualify as a #SpicyPillow?

Just opened up my #Framework16 for something unrelated and noticed this.

Touchpad module used to show the ballooning.

#FrameworkLaptop

We bought a bunch of framework 13 at work, before the DHH/Omarchy “Big tent means we can pretend Nazis in our community aren’t a problem” debacle. All of the laptops have a spicy pillow.

If you own a framework, check the battery today! Also limit max charge percentage to 70% or 80%, and then drain the battery if it’s above the configured threshold.

So @yubico has these nano keys, meant to sit in your laptop unobtrusively long term. They still stick out, though, so I wonder, why not pack one of these into a @frameworkcomputer expansion module so they can fully realize that function, for those of us with modular laptops? #FrameworkLaptop #yubikey

Framework Laptop 13 Pro könnte endlich mein ThinkPad X1 Yoga 2nd Gen aus 2017 beerben. Bin gespannt auf erste Testergebnisse.

Vielleicht haben sie tatsächlich die m.M.n. stärksten Schwächen der letzten Generation des Laptop 13 non-Pro beseitigt:

- Akkulaufzeit (Katastrophe!)
- Häufig startender und lauter Lüfter
- Touchpad

I guess a win for open-source and open-hardware in a way, my #FrameworkLaptop laptop had issues with recognising USB ports and there was a major boot issue with my operating system. #fedoralinux fixes the boot issue 'automagically', Linux has really progressed! I followed the guide to reset the motherboard on Framework's site, and now the USB ports work perfectly fine.

Framework Laptop 13 Pro is a modular laptop with longer battery life, better screen, and up to Intel Core Ultra X7 Panther Lake

Framework has been selling modular, customizable, repairable, and upgradable laptop since 2021. But while most laptop makers ship brand new models every year or two, Framework has taken a different approach by keeping the same chassis for its 13 inch laptop year after year, which means that every time the company has released a new mainboard, customers have been able to buy a new mainboard and […]

Framework introduces a new one-piece haptic touchpad module for the Framework Laptop 16 (instead of 3 part), a one-piece keyboard, a new Ryzen AI 5 340 mainboard option, and a 10 Gigabit Ethernet module (made with a partner). #FrameworkLaptop16 #FrameworkLaptop #ModularPC
