Apple ain’t gonna be happy about that.

There is an algorithm to prevent false positives. Part of that probably takes awhile to determine a malicious tag

no i believe that is tile and the penalty is because it doesnt have some of the anti-stalking measures like the airtag

I walked around the city with some friends for a few days, and the second day, after spending about 6 hours together the day before, he got notified a pair of airpods was following him - mine.

Of course. But this is huge news for Framework and subsequently huge news for Linus to share. Usually he get's first dibs at stuff like this from this brand.

Only problem... well the LTT stuff yesterday.

same, gave my airpods to my GF, took them off my account, we went out and my phone had notices that a set of airpods was traveling with me for an hour. she got a notice that the prior owner of the airpods may be tracking her location even though it’s not on my find my iphone account

Maybe they knew the suspect had an android device...

This is what I've been waiting for.

Well, honestly I'm waiting for a 15" because 16 is a bit too big, but I'll consider it if they have a killer screen and audio option, because I'm tired of stagnant computers, graphics, and terrible audio out of Windows laptops.

Pretty sure it is legal and if you find it and destroy you have to pay for the equipment.

The key word being "Caught". Apple isnt actively monitoring who is using Airtags for what. The clause only comes into effect if it goes to court and Apple is defamed in the process.

Tell that reassuring piece of information to the dead/raped stalking victims.

I forgot, damn

No, joke is on us, now our taxes have to pay Apple 2 million.

I like how easy it will make going from sittting on the couch working back to my desk where this is set up.

I know what I’m gonna replace my desktop with if this actually goes through.

That's reasonable, I hadn't considered where the textures and geometries are coming from.

Makes sense if the owner is with you, that it wouldn’t notify until they are not with you.

Doesnt Apple have a specific clause in their user agreement that makes you pay an absurdly high penalty if you are caught using it for stalking ?

Ahh yes. Buy a couple of these and then pocket the rest of the money you pulled out for these cases. Simple tbh.

Yes he did, so any time he will talk about Framework he'll still try to be as neutral as possible. But if you really want someone 100% neutral to see review/test of those laptop from, LTT won't be the best option.

As always, it is always best to watch multiple review from different channel/media, especially when it is about a product you want to buy.

NVIDIA kinda fucked up MXM platform a few times. I remember MSI making GPU upgradeable gaming laptop, back in Kepler era GTX7xx, and when Maxwell came out (GTX9xx), they couldn't offer upgrade for a long time because of how the new GPU architecture was heavily modifyed in terms of power delivery. Also each MXM module cost an arm and leg individually, even if you are MSI/Asus and can get them for much cheaper than a random customer. Meaning it wasn't much more expensive to just sold your last gen laptop and get the new gen one.

So I'm still waiting to see how Framework handle this, because in the past much MUCH bigger company broke their teeth on that.

I'll need a new laptop soon, so I'm looking into this and hope for the best to Framework.

Theres nothing that's fundementally stopping a manufacturer from doing that.

But it's designed as an internal connector:

-Full 16x slots are big. Bigger then any external connectors that I can think of off the top of my head, or 8x.

- your going to get an unpleasant surprise when you try to disconnect something while running without compatible hardware and without jumping through the hoops you gotta do on the software side to shutdown the power to a pcie device (and not accidentally power down something like your internal sata or USB controller). Same goes for connecting something.

- the devices are also in general going to be designed for internal use (exposed fans, exposed PCBs that you could shock with ESD, etc.).

- You can't expect users to know that e.g. plugging in a PCIe device might rerout pcie lanes from say your NVME controller to the new device and that will make buyers *very* unhappy and support tickets will go through the roof, your don't expect your VGA connector to stop working because you have used all your USB slots for example because to an inexperienced that's what it would look like.

- And i'm sure there's a lot more reasons I could think of that an external pcie connector is a terrible idea.

How does that compare to laptop dGPUs though? Which are already neutered performance-wise for heat and power consumption reasons. Both of which also get worse as you scale up to more powerful GPUs just as happens with PCIe bandwidth.

>Thunderbolt tops out at 40Gb/s, PCIe gen 4 x16 tops out at 32GB/s

Last I knew GPUs don't use nearly that much PCIe bandwidth if your not SLI-ing or something.

It has it available, but doesn't use it.

Could become more relevant as directstorage becomes a thing though.

They're still doing miles better than a typical laptop company. If you bought a HP or Dell or Apple and you wanted an upgrade, your only options are to sell it second hand or throw it away. Framework provides a third option of repurposing the mainboard, should you wish to so, plus it creates less e-waste because the screen, keyboard, battery, chassis etc. don't have to be replaced if they're working fine
