The biggest thing killing Lemmy for me is needing a seperate account on every single instance if I want to participate in anything on an instance.
I thought this wasn’t how it was supposed to work.
I saw this post on another instance and tried to reply this exact message but got an error saying I couldn’t.
Using Liftoff if it matters.
I’ve had terrible experiences with all brands bar ThinkPad.
ThinkPad specifically too, IdeaPad, and Legion are consumer garbage.
Anything to qualify that statement or just taking a shot? Who offers better value machines than Lenovo?
Gonna guess Libre ? I think it’s French for freedom or something. CBF looking it up. I’m currently sleeping.
I do badly want to like these… but I don’t see the point.
Repairability wise mid range ThinkPad is nearly as good. Only major difference is I think Framework claims they will release schematics… and as someone who actually does component level repairs I’ve seen promises like this work I’ve or twice, but then they stop maintaining their data or pays get hard to get rendering the gesture null.
Upgrade wise… I switch machines every 4 to 6 years… at which point the chassis has a bit of wear and tear.
Spec wise I buy what I need and add a little headroom with the ThinkPad.
Spare parts are good for ThinkPad and Lenovo actually has component replacement guides that no one seems to mention or know about.
And when I do upgrade I appreciate having a complete spare machine.
I think it’s also not unreasonable to assume my style of buying and upgrading is not uncommon.
This leaves the Framework very few hardware advantages and nil price advantages.
I still think they’re a great idea, but I don’t see any practical benefit over a sensible alternative.
Genuine question… Have I missed anything?
Sounds like scare mongering.
Why would that be any different than a PC with the 2FA app on the PC?
Banking on suitably patched and secured phone is NOT an inherently risky activity.
I just checked and it’s almost double what I’m paying currently for 100/40 fibre.
I don’t know where you got your figures but u suspect they’re faulty.
At best it might be an alternative to Skymuster.
