I normally love southern food but chicken and waffles is one that I don’t love as much. I normally just eat the chicken and then eat the waffles separately

A negative one that brought only Reddit energy and vibe to this place

It’s not even useful for testing or development either because it can only mock up existing features that have already been tested 😂 unless your game is literally 100% recycled unoriginal garbage, this won’t work

Why would you waste all that time collecting the ridiculous amount of game footage required to train the model on your unfinished game, and then do that over again the moment you make a change, when you could just… test it…??? It’s literally faster and less effort to use traditional means than it is to try to use AI. 🤦 not to mention, you’re going to have to test it normally anyway, whether you use this or not, there’s no getting around that

bottled water quality is less regulated than tap water lol

Nah you’re 100% in the wrong here, and it’s wild that you bring up respect, as if this attitude and behavior isn’t incredibly disrespectful. Calling someone is literally not disrespectful. What the fuck is wrong with people

1. yes, this is how interviewers must conduct interviews in order to have guests agree to be interviewed, to some extent

2. Did you see his latest interview with Bill O’Reilly though? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7qZE4C_neo

Or famously, Jon Stewart on Crossfire? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFQFB5YpDZE

EDIT Also in the Crossfire one your exact concern is addressed by Jon directly

EDIT again, also his “both-sidesism” seems to be being critical of both MAGA right wing nonsense and neoliberal capitalist nonsense, but I have not seen much criticism from him of progressives. If you have some examples, I’d watch them. So I don’t see how that he is “steeped in neoliberalism” because he is often critcal of it.

Can framework physically be upgraded? Yes. Is that practical, realistic, or something the makes sense for a typical user to actually do (beyond RAM and hard drives, which is common to be able to replace on most laptops already)? No. See all the reasons I’ve already covered. To market the product based on that like it is something great that a user will expect to do and why they should buy it, is pretty scammy behavior, especially when the laptop is priced at a premium and this is justified by these impractical features.

Ir16 is as repairable and as easy as framework to replace/upgrade typical components as one should expect for a laptop, like RAM, hard drives, and network card. You remove 9 screws, the bottom panel comes right off, and there is access to those components. I wouldn’t expect to easily replace other parts of it or the entire mainboard, but again, no one is practically going to be doing that with framework either anyway.

an unrelated and fairly ignorant take

It’s actually related (given all of the comments suggesting framework and parroting scam marketting points), and not ignorant, just realistic. People often want to defend their purchase after they’ve been duped.

brutally

lmfao watch the video

A few, not a lot, and not on any games worth playing

Are they allowed to play dodgeball?

especially in the Apple space

Offtopic, we are discussing linux laptops.

With Framework its 5 screws

Aw gee, then Framework wins! With Focus IR16 its nine phillips screws… 😩

Either you’re holding onto the case for many many years continuously upgrading, which I question why an old case is so valuable to not just replace it too when you replace the entire mainboard, or you’re not, which makes me question the entire “upgradeable” concept.

Either way it doesn’t really make sense. You can easily upgrade the parts that don’t require a whole new mainboard, already, on literally any other laptop (hard drives, RAM, network card, battery).

It’s neat that you can customize the ports on it and swap them out, which is the only real difference from any other laptop, but to me it seems like a gimmick and doesn’t justify framework premium price when there are plenty of laptops out there with the ports that I need already

Also upgrading CPUs that are so close in generation and only a marginal performance difference like you have done is atypical and does not reflect the purchasing behavior of 99% of users. There’s no real perceivable performance difference between those two CPUs for what most people actually use a laptop to do: web browse.

reusing 90% of the parts

Oops you need a whole new mainboard anyway to upgrade the CPU… oops you need new DDR5 RAM for the new CPU… oops these framework parts cost a premium at about the same cost as a new laptop anyay. Congrats, you now have an upgraded laptop in an old case that’s already gone through wear and tear… at least you kept the SSD that could have been popped into a new laptop as a secondary drive?

If the laptop is old enough to merit CPU upgrade, then its likely already experienced plenty of wear and tear. Also I never said anything about the screen wearing out, I specifically said the case. I gave credit that at least the screen would carry over

in a few years

You’d think the point of repair and upgrade would be for the laptop to exist and be used for more than just a “few years” (otherwise what is the point?) so consider the realistic and more likely case of upgrading it more than a few years from now. Its worth it to keep an old used case, especially when you are paying a premium for framework?

It’s great that it can be repaired easily though and there are internal parts available for purchase, but you can also find internal parts to many laptops available if you look for them, the only real difference is ease of repair

I considered buying framework for my laptop but once I thought about it realistically, it stopped making much sense.

So… all the normal stuff that is normally upgradeable on a normal laptop is upgradeable for framework too? Good point…

The only “replacing the entire guts” you would do is if you replaced the mainboard for a CPU upgrade

That’s exactly my point, yes. Again, the “upgradeability” of a framework laptop is unrealistic at best and a scam at worst. It’s exactly as upgradeable as most laptops unless you’re replacing the whole mainboard which is not very realistic. By that point there is likely enough wear and tear that it makes no sense to keep the case, keyboard, and screen… and with framework premium prices you aren’t saving money on the SSD or RAM (which, no, you likely can’t reuse on a CPU upgrade, most likely you’ll be going DDR4->DDR5). I do give them credit for repairability, which is great, but “upgradeability” specifically is basically a marketing scam and will not make any sense for 99% of users.

I expected the downvotes on my comment because my opinion goes against the framework fanboys, but I hope my suggestion of KFocus IR16 is not discounted because of my opinions on framework. It is truly a great choice for linux compatibility

https://kfocus.org/spec/spec-ir16.html this is an absolute gem, built just for linux. It comes with KUbuntu preinstalled but can be wiped and replaced with any flavor of linux, and all of the hardware and laptop functionality is fully supported by linux.

Framework is way overhyped and even more overpriced. Its “upgradeability” is totally unrealistic at best, scam at worst. Sure you can pop in a new USB port or display output, but that’s about it before you’re replacing the entire guts to upgrade it and keeping just the worn out case and screen…? Gee sounds great… Repairability is a real point for framework though. Can you still not update the BIOS on linux? Its linux support is historically not great but may have improved

Desktop computer mainly, sometimes a laptop. Tablets are painful to use IMO
