@star true, but also like I have a fw 13 and with all the issues I had with their firmware and their support team (which basically is only able to say "make screenshot of the motherboard" and "send the whole unit in, we'll wipe it and see if it works then")

And yea that all makes me very much not recommend it. Like I use my MacBook air m2 way more often than the framework

@star @commanderred tbh the reason i wouldn't buy framework again is that i put up with subpar hardware and value because repairability is a good mission and then they kinda added "fascism is just like someone's opinion" to their mission

but if the value actually checks out for you, shrug

@star @aura I mean for me it's not just about repairability but also Software Support. I don't like needing to implement the weirdest fixes for stuff. Might be worth looking in the newer Lenovo's again, afaik ifixit gave them a 10/10. Also ig what might be a factor is that framework actively has that problem, and at least in ur toot u used past tense a lot.

(Also sorry if that is a lot like I just wanna say like what my experience with it was but yea meow 🥺)

@star @aura like, they have a bug where the USB A module sometimes doesn't work in USB 3.2 slots. I was checking and it definitely is a firmware problem as new hardware didn't fix it. But still they insisted on me sending my stuff in that I needed for work back then instead of forwarding it to firmware engineers

@commanderred @aura well, i have a thinkpad t14s gen 6, the newest gen with the amd processors (which are very nice), and i have NEVER gotten this thing to sleep or wake from sleep reliably. i have had it for a year, tried two different distros, a myriad of weird tweaks and fixes, and it still just. won't. wake.

it's terrible and makes this thing really annoying to useeeeeeeeeeeeeee

@star @commanderred oh, i'm very aware.

the difference is that if you bought early framework hardware, you got a bad deal, made up for by "underdog going for repairability narrative", it was a bit more like backing a kickstarter than buying a laptop for value, so of course everyone who did this got rightfully pissed when framework take a shitty moral stance for no good reason (like, they're just being shitty enlightened centrists, it's not even money motivated, it'd be easier if it was)
