  • If you have an original Framework (from memory, 11th gen intel 13 inch), there were hardware issues that I don’t thing could be resolved via software updates. I believe they worked in them for the intel 12th gen and later.

    I run a fedora derivative on an original framework, and I used a command to disable sleep and go to a deeper state (hibernate maybe?) so it doesn’t lose battery while asleep. And if you take out your HDMI, display port, etc cards and just use USB (or none) that resolves another power drain issue.

    But basically, it’s usable but not perfect. I’m waiting to see if there’s another gen of AMD card coming then might update my mainboard.

    I dunno, I like it as a laptop but I’m also seldom far from a charger.











  • I’m not gonna subscription my heated car seats but search is a service that costs an ongoing amount to provide. The subscription isn’t significant, it’s $5 a month for 300 searches (or $10 for unlimited).

    I know we’ve been conditioned to expect search for free, but if we want to get away from the “the user is the product” model then I think it’s a good thing to have a subscription to a service that has ongoing costs to provide.

    If you follow the source trail it lists Cloudscene as the source, who seem to be some marketplace for buying and selling cloud services. I highly suspect it’s a count of the data centers they have listed by their sellers, which would bias the US and explain why there are so few for China.



  • I don’t even have gigabit and if I try to download a game from Steam, it seems to eventually catch up to the disk and has to pause while the data is being written to disk. This is to an SSD.

    If I was the only person in the house I wouldn’t pay for gigabit, I’d just go for a couple hundred and that would be heaps. 100 would likely be plenty for most people too. But if you do a lot of downloading I probably wouldn’t want less than that if I had the choice.
