In less distressing news: my personal laptop is on its way out.

@xgranade @aud @astronomerritt i have one and it’s great!
Also don’t be scared of the DIY version, assembly is straightforward (though the wifi leads are a little fiddly)
-
@xgranade @aud @astronomerritt also my home desktop is a Framework mainboard, which I kept after upgrading, happy to answer questions.

@cthos useful knowledge, thank you! I'm not afraid of bullding a laptop, I've built PCs and I've actually replaced a laptop wifi card before (which was EXTREMELY fiddly because the laptop was not built to make this simple task easy) (which is one reason why Framework appeals to me actually)

@astronomerritt it’s so so good. 5 captive screws are all that’s preventing you from getting at innards and it’s all so well organized.
Even changing the display is simpler than it has any right to be.

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] well fuck, that's fucking cool!

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] I think I have yet to interact with a wifi lead that can't be described as "fiddly", at the best of times.

@[email protected] @[email protected] one time I broke a screen on a macbook pro and tried to replace/repair it and then I had fucking cat hair and dust constantly squeeze in between the glass and the LCD for the next decade.
no... no thank you. -
@[email protected] @[email protected] Eventually it got so bad I tried to seal it up with cheap "washi" tape (washi tape my ass) from Amazon so I just had mildly decorative tape framing my dusty ass macbook screen for a year or two
oh, graduate school. -
@aud @xgranade @astronomerritt here’s a shot of the lil friend connected to an egpu:

@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] what the fuck! It's cool and even sleek looking!
