Oooh this is very nice!

Haven’t noticed any issue. That said overtightening the top screw does cause the button cover to warp a bit.

Being poor sucks.

No kidding. This didn’t ruin me but it was painful. And on top of that, it’s smaller disks for significantly more than I did last year.

I bought them for years ahead. My primary pool is gonna start having drives fail from age and use, and it’ll need replacements. So I’m gonna be sticking these in as they fail over time so I use all the service life I can get from the existing (8TB) drives.

The AI search is just crazy, especially when you adjust the model quality.

I call it Ubuntu.

Mostly yes but there are functional differences in convenience. For example the standard upgrade process is completely manual. You have to disable third party repos. You have to change the repos. You have to check if you have space. You have to remove obsolete oackages. And more. On Ubuntu, the software update tool does all that, eliminating a lot of possibility for error. To an exoerienced user, the Debian process is fine. A novice would have plenty of opportunity for frustration and pain.

Oh man, I was like a kid in a candy shop when I got my hands on Flash 4… built quite a few sites with it.

It’s a Framework with 11th gen Intel i5. I’ve never seen it below 11W while doing this. I don’t recall the exact number I got in Debian 12 but I think it was in the 11-13W range. The numbers were similar with Ubuntu LTS which I used till about a year ago. Now I see 9-10W. The screen is 3:2 13". Not sure about the enconding but I have GPU decoding working in Firefox.

It fluctuated between 8.8W and 10.3W.

It’s GNOME. It did tell me it’s gonna do that upon choosing shutdown. So does Windows. 😂

It’s pretty good. Replaces a few things already. Some broken, some defective. The system works. The only real issue I had was the CMOS battery would drain if the laptop stayed unused for a while. Framework developed a battery replacement module they shipped to people able to solder. 😄 I have the first version. They fixed a few problems in the second, including the battery issue.

Thanks! Unfortunately I’m on OG i5 with CMOS battery solder mod and all. 🫠

Might not be too difficult to achieve by connecting a small electric motor to the scroll wheel axle. Then you could vary the resistance by changing a pot hooked the motor’s terminals.

Good point. It measures at about 13x8.5cm.

It’s like an alien name out of Rick and Morty. 😂

You probably can modify the existing one to fit your hand fairly easily.

I could reprint the housing one day, when I get a printer myself. 😂
