Well this explains why my RTX2070 is shit slow on video processing while I'm watching YouTube. I thought I had a driver issue, since the old RX 570 didn't have this problem.
1 NVDEC stream, Nvidia? What fucking year is this?

The statement "taxes is theft" is grammatically flawed because the subject and verb do not agree in number. "Taxes" is a plural noun, while "is" is a singular verb. The correct grammatical form would be "taxes are theft."

I hear you. It's a balance, though - there are washing machines built 100 years ago that still work exactly as designed, but you gotta turn a crank.

Microsoft actually owns another whole patent on a magnetically actuated locking connector, which is a plausible explanation for how their connector works, and Razer sounds like it doesn't even magnetically couple at all.

That's your argument... ok. Who's the troll now, then.

I'm not a troll, nor jealous. The guy does a punchable face in every thumbnail. He says he attracts views or something with that. But he looks like an idiot in the process.

I'm an electrical engineer, and, just...HAHAHAHAHAA.
There's no freaking way this works. Those solar panels will be destroyed by vibration, and covered in dust and oil, and be worthless in no time. These guys DON'T have some special robust panels that will survive. Also, panels that are flat have like 40% less energy output than tilted panels.
And how the hell are you gonna connect inverters and cables to panels in a LONG STRAIGHT LINE? Like, the most idiotic topology for a solar panel installation.
We have tons of space to put panels THAT ARE NOT RUN OVER BY TRAINS, why don't we put there there?

Well, for starters, magsafe is patented (making any 'official' copy hard to pull off) but 3rd party Chinese foils of magsafe are out there and I actually agree with the point that the SSD cart is kind of pointless.
*And making a homebrew standard doesn't really fly, especially for a startup like Framework. Thunderbolt already shares the same connector type as USB-C, and exposes traditionally internal PCIe lanes to the outside. Only scenario where Framework can actually make their own standard is if they genuinely reinvent a solution that had previously failed before like their just announced GPU connector that probably just made MXM look completely geriatric and obsolete overnight.

Are you pretending you weren't being a jealous troll and thinking anyone is buying it?

So the big deal is that you can upgrade the graphics on the laptop, right?
How is this different from laptops in the past with upgradeable graphics exactly? I can see some benefit (different cooling designs over time), but that being said, laptop manufacturers have done upgradeable graphics in the past. My gaming laptop from 2010 had an MXM slot and I upgraded from a 512mb card to a 1gb card...

non snarky answer -- They try to push broadcasters, streamers, VOD processors, etc, to their Enterprise cards that are batshit expensive.

Ok, that would be something, but current spacers system won't allow that - you need whole new top cover

The tech world is full of arbitrary limitations that exist for the purpose of getting people to pay more.

All I see is the potential of an ortholinear keyboard in a notebook. I agree they are kinda ugly, but I'm more a function over form type of guy.

The AMD chips are still x86, same as Intel. There shouldn’t be any issues aside from graphics drivers.

I went back to their site last night and I’m totally lit to see an AMD option. I’m not a gamer so a strong integrated GPU is good enough for me and will help with battery life. I almost pre-ordered it last night, but I’m going to wait a bit since they just pushed the delivery schedule back due to a delay from AMD on the new chip. 4nm thick CPU is crazy. My desktop has a R9 5900 and 3060ti. It smokes without hardly a sound. I’m really amped over framework now. Just need to make sure there’s no issue with Linux on the new CPU architecture.
