Yeah, gin is probably a personally preference
For me it tastes like perfumed alcohol

I like my alcohol more… honest

Same for me

Was working at a fast food stand at night in my youth (well, for nearly 10 years) and Jägermeister was the only shot we had
So I drank that with the customer

Don’t even want to look at it anymore…

Wasn’t there at least a Japanese experiment, in which they transmitted power by laser to the earth?

Don’t remember how successful this was though

First time in hearing this, so thank you!

Soldered RAM is really faster then socketed RAM?
I can’t really see why, when only looking at the connection level.

But soldered RAM also means, they only need to support exactly this RAM.
So they can leave out some stuff handing different speeds and can optimise for exactly this RAM.

Is that the reason?
I’ve actually never thought about that until now…

Looking at the form factor, it seems to mostly address typical desktop use without having a full blown workstation with a big tower, which one usually builds and upgrades by oneself.

I’m also not sure, if this niche is the right choice for Framework though…

Edit: the more read about it, the less I see the appeal as well…
Maybe we just aren’t the target audience, but I can’t really figure out, who they want to target

I loved my Pulse 15 (Gen 1) from Tuxedo

It was a performance monster and still had amazing battery life.
But as others have said, they only take some finished Clevo models - like most small distributors, who can’t afford their own factory.

But they verify that everything runs with Linux, else they sometimes patch stuff.

And I need to highlight their support!
After years with my Pulse 15 the battery became a pillow, because I used a USB C charger that wasn’t working right (always switched on and off, which killed the battery)
Pretty much without questions asked I got a new battery for free.

Now I have it to my nephew, who enjoys Minecraft on this laptop (still Linux), but the CMOS battery was dead.
Got that one for free as well after warranty

So, I can’t really complain about them.
Actually the opposite.

But I still settled for a Framework 16, because I wanted something different and the models at that time weren’t fitting my use case…

As said, I was young…

I was 16 and saved all my money for my own laptop.

Was looking at a MacBook Pro, which was sold on eBay as an outlet unit with minor defects (like scratches) for a third less.

Bought it and sent my money through Western Union just to never see it - or any laptop - again

16 year old me was more than heart broken…

Thought about that second interpretation after posting my answer
Could have easily interpreted it the same way…

Still somehow enjoyed the video

I think, I even knew this prototype from another article. But was fun seeing it put to test and partly disassembled

My ISA Fritz! ISDN card fucking killed me…
I could, and did, live with the terminal for quite some while, surfing with Links, listening to music and even watching videos. Besides the obvious open IIRC chat in one terminal.
But the Fritz Card was horrible to setup. I need to say, that it was ok, when it worked, but as far as I remember, I needed to compile the kernel with support for it and afterwards needed to configure some memory or bus addresses somewhere.

As this was my only computer as a teenager, this was just a horrific experience. Cutting myself off from the information live line multiple times until I got it right.
Also setting up dual boot the first time was a fun adventure…

Just wait for Hurd!
Hurd will kick all those little asses, you’ll see, whenever it comes out!
And then GNU will be really independent and superior!
Can just be like a few years now!

Edit: I shouldn’t type anymore today …

Yeah, was the first thing I thought, how the fuck do they want to cool them?

What if the script fails?

Do your will

If you lose the ability to do your own will, and only do what is expected from you, that’s when you lose yourself

Disregard society. Doesn’t matter if you’re currently confirming or not, when you do something.

You do it, because of your own will.

I think, with that ethic base framework, you can just be yourself.

Ah, some piercings in some places can feel very nice

But I’m with you on the Ideology stuff - especially the fascism part

Although I don’t really follow any specific channels, that’s probably a very good approach

Surprisingly, haven’t seen that with FreeTube
But I use my mobile client much more than FreeTube on my PC…

Hopefully we can still find a way around

Although, maybe it’s time to sever the ties and just move to PeerTube - which would mean, that the will need to also produce some content

Since some weeks I’m also getting an error in NewPipe/PipePipe, that my IP is temporarily blocked at YouTube - although I usually can just immediately resume and only get the error in the middle of the video like once or twice

Anyone else - and especially maybe with a solution?

Thank you!
