I’ve yet to see a point to the framework other than people who aren’t going to buy it hyping up how customisable it’s going to be like I can’t already cover my MBA in stickers to show how much I love linux

apple should be forced to steal the dockable usb-c dongle idea from the framework laptop

those things should become an industry standard, it's such a stupid simple and elegant solution to having the ports you actually want and easily replace them when a port wears out



reminds me of the swappable drive bays on old latitudes. a good idea but going nowhere unless completely standardized

i ordered an m1 macbook air because lenovo had trouble delivering thinkpads. i am not fully comfortable with the decision but at least its the most degenerate platform anyone will ever run my code on so it is good for testing. and it is supposedly a pretty nice laptop

i hope i did not gently caress up too much

but jonny, just think of how you can cheaply buy another pile of company assets when they liquidate suddenly



those tiles are a core77 student portfolio version of a dongle. they're not bad, per se, but i don't want a pile of tiles in my bag more than i don't want a pile of little cables

no way their bringing back any ports, just keep your fingers crossed for a good number of fully featured usb-c ports. the one other port i think would be huge value to have would be a usb-a port, i still use more usb-a than i do usb-c, and don't foresee many of the devices involved being outdated for another 5+ years. but no way they're doing that either.

but at the same time I doubt they’ll be able to produce said motherboards in a way that’ll make them come even close to competitive

it would be super easy to put a seal around the MacBook logic board now that it’s so tiny and low power but they would much rather sell you another machine if you sneeze on it I guess

its like they want to punish the consumer for not buying an ipad, I swear tim actually hates computers

i honestly can’t tell if you’re trolling

it’s extremely useful if you shoot photos and videos on something that isn’t an iphone, and hooking up a cable is a huge pain even if the camera supports it

i use mine constantly.

not suggesting it’s enough for them to bother but it’s still very very useful.

what's wrong with this? seems better than advocating the purchase of a $1000 yaesu, which will be sold on ebay after the purchaser discovers that ham radio is 99% chuds and loses his enthusiasm for shitposting on the airwaves

That's a common argument and there is a whole spectrum of radio quality/price points.

a yaesu ft-60r is vastly better quality, you pay $150 for it, and if you don't like it, you can sell it for $130-140

a baofeng is trash, you pay $25 for it, and if you don't like it, you can sell it for $0

they're e-waste


i will say they're great second or third radios. horrible first ones.

yes yes i get how apple views its marketing thanks

i'm not sure though. like they'd never include them on the air but it wouldn't surprise me on the pro. either case - them being there or not - is possible imo.
