I'll of course hold on to my current laptop for as long as it lasts, but a Framework will be up next.

    I feel like an absolute idiot for ever being anti-laptop. I got a framework and my PC immediately became a server. One of the best investments I have ever made.

    Yes! Laptops do have their cons but I feel like all the people who are anti laptop are just people that have never got to experience great it is to have a laptop.

    quite the opposite. if I never experienced laptop I'd probably want one. the idea of the laptop is cool... but the only reason I'm anti laptop is because I have worked with laptops. of all kinds too, from the shitty basically no hardware ones to the gaming laptops i can play the latest games and work with blender on. they're all uncomfortable. desktop rules.

    Before you make that decision, please familiarize yourself with Framework's continued support of noted racist David Heinemeier Hansson despite the explicit and massive pushback on their forums.

    If my dentist is a racist, should I not go to the dentist? Seems like letting my oral hygiene suffer because of it would be a case of cutting off my nose to spite my face. In your search for a life lived in ideologically purity have you found some acceptable alternative?

    No, you should start looking for a new dentist.

    In this case there is no other dentist. The closest you can get is a thinkpad, and they're still not quite as repairable as a framework from what I hear, and I'm not sure they don't donate to Trump himself for all I know, searching for lenovo controversies gave me this at a first glance

    Lenovo has faced multiple controversies, primarily related to security issues, including pre-installed malware and backdoors in their devices, which have raised concerns about user privacy and data security. Additionally, the company has been criticized for its ties to China and alleged espionage risks, leading to bans from certain government networks in various countries.

    So no racists maybe (guess we gotta ask them about Uyghurs and other non-Han Chinese people, but) possible security risks, pick your poison I guess.

    Should i give my next possible dentist a questionnaire to find out their possible forbidden thoughts? How many thoughts are ok before moving on in my list of dentists?
