This is why I got a #FrameworkLaptop !
I spent maybe 10 minutes opening up and closing my #Framework16 to snap a picture of my mainboard for a potential warranty case.

It took me 10 minutes because I was hyper-paranoid about missing a step, but you can realistically do it in under 5 minutes.

I don't like tinkering with hardware, but I'm not tech-illiterate either, so this is a good middle ground of what is doable.

I've put in a deposit on a Framework Laptop 12 DIY Edition. Looks like ham radio was the thing that finally got me to commit to Linux!

Looking forward to using it for:
- Portable operation (POTA, public service, etc)
- Dire Wolf for APRS
- Reading and marking up ham .pdfs

h/t to @KR4BVU for turning me on to Framework.

V neděli jsem streamovala unboxing a sestavení nového Frameworku 12, tak kdybyste chtěli zjistit, jestli ho chcete nebo ne, můžete se mrknout tady:

Right to repair, but not to fix security?

Framework’s philosophy empowers users to open, upgrade, and repair their devices. But with great openness comes a security catch.

On the Framework 13, pressing the chassis intrusion switch 10 times resets the BIOS, removing passwords, Secure Boot, and more.

We flagged this to Framework. Their response?
"It's a feature..."

That’s risky. This reset might help with recovery, but it also hands an attacker physical access to critical settings.

Kieran explains the issue, what this means for security, and how to protect your device.

The Framework 16 laptop detects when it's booted partially assembled. It boots into a special mode to walk you through completing the assembly. The screen updates to reflect your progress and prompt the next step. This requires no tools to complete. Impressive! Watch:

Framework Laptop 12 review: I’m excited to see what the 2nd generation looks like https://arstechni.ca/KgL5 #frameworklaptop12 #frameworklaptop #framework #Features #reviews #Tech

TIL that the lid close sensor on the #FrameworkLaptop is on the audio / mic jack board. If you don't reconnect it properly when you swap the mainboard... your laptop doesn't know when the lid is closed, clamshell connections to hubs think the screen needs to stay on, and it doesn't go to sleep properly...

(separately to fixing that, I still need to get suspend/hibernate working again, something is wrong there as well)

Working on being fully on-brand - new transparent purple bezel for my #FrameworkLaptop (and some transparent purple expansions too, not visible from this angle).

You should be able to fix your stuff. Das neue Framwork-Laptop ist da! Love. So aufgeregt war ich schon lange nicht mehr. Hardware wie sie sein sollte. DIY. #FrameWorkComputer #FrameworkLaptop13AMD #FrameWorkLaptop @frameworkcomputer

Ooooo, the new framework 12 inch looks like an opensource Surface and I'm very here for it. I love all the colors, especially the bubble gum and lavender! It's a tablet too, so I could use it to replace my ipad when it finally stops getting security updates. They're even going to have a stylus and its fully repairable. This is very tempting to invest in possibly as soon as next year depending on when my updates for my 2018 ipad 11-inch stop.

Anyone have experience with color calibration on linux? Specifically with gnome?

The gnome docs suggest a pantone huey is the best supported and cheapest option. I can find them on ebay for around $20. Will I regret not going with a more expensive option?

Hey #FrameworkLaptop 13 owners: I had a strange issue where video playback would sometimes stop once I physically moved the laptop, e.g. from the couch to the desk.

Turns out I can click my touchpad – from below.

To reproduce, grab the laptop (lid open) with one hand, with your thumb next to the touchpad and the other fingers on the underside of the case, opposite to where the upper half of the touchpad is, as pictured. Your grip should feel safe and secure.

Now, quickly lift the laptop.

The latest #FrameworkLaptop 16 feature: regularly crashing during sleep mode so you open it to a booting laptop instead of your presentation.

I got a lot of questions about the laptop at RustWeek. The short version is: its behavior would be unacceptable for an EVT prototype.

Sigh.

Upgraded. Let's see what this AMD Ryzen can do over the Intel board it was rocking before. #FrameworkLaptop #Fedora #Linux

Finally got around to setting up the fingerprint reader on the #FrameworkLaptop to work on #fedoralinux, a nice simple setup on KDE and it works really well for logins and sudo authentication too.
