@OldInternetFeel That platform was pretty long in the tooth by then.

@Qualcomm QCNFA765, in my Chinese @Lenovo ThinkPad , is vendor trash with a fake open source driver. Every creature involved in bringing this interface to market should be ashamed.

@FrameworkPuter

Hey Framework guys: I have a rather expensive and capable Legion 8 Pro (high-end gaming laptop that I picked up as a refurb) that I would cheerfully throw over for a Framework if you had only one additional hardware option.

A real full-travel keyboard like Thinkpads used to have before Lenovo enshittified them.

Words do not exist in any of the tongues of men to express the intensity with which I hate and loathe modern laptop keyboards. Short-travel chiclet keys with rubber-dome switches, AAARGH!

I know I can't have Model M buckling spring switches on a laptop, but *damn* something mechanical with tactile feedback would be good.

I know I'm not alone in this. There may not be a lot of model M fans out there, but if you have any hopes of selling into the gamer market you're going to have to go mechanical for that.

Any chance of this happening?

You may not be aware but Teachers Unions are psychotic, radical communist organizations who create Cole Allens every day. Federal law enforcement must break up these terrorist groups immediately.

Do any of the neckbeard laptop outfits actually put isometric pointing stick on their keyboards? Design wise, everything looks like a MacBook simulacrum.

[Schnarrwerk @schnarrwerk]

@slimbook Everything looks like an Apple Chiclet keyboard now. So much for the thousands of man hours already spent developing the best key shape, only for everything to have gone downhill since the ThinkPad T42.

Laptop dock conectors weren't perfect but they were better than this USB C junk.

@IMPDnews Please enforce against general antisocial driving behaviors also. On the East Side especially, I get menaced by 3rd world drivers every time I go somewhere.

Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death, and upon those in the tomb bestowing life.

If an organ committee was worth a damn, they would ask questions about the reliability of a builder's stop action before becoming enamored of titillating sounds

Psalm 34:1 - "I will bless the LORD at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth."

We investigate whether injecting biblical Psalms into a large language model's system prompt produces measurable changes in performance on standardized ethical reasoning benchmarks.

The mil-spec organ relay is tested in a recital of 20th century French music, where audience members queue up to have a turn smashing the relay chassis with a club.

@PCBWayOfficial This is some inane third world stuff.
