I had my bootloader nuked when I dual boot with different drives. And that is when I nuked windows.
I think the only way to make sure is to completely disable windows update (as windows update sometimes also handles drivers uefi etc, not just windows), and that is known to be hard
What? A company that is making -5 billion net income lost 1 trillion in market value?!
WHAT? eastern bunnies are made up? you cannot just drop that on a innocent stranger?!
That is just plain not true. If you are a enthusiast and know where to look then you definitely can find better deal than framework, but getting a dell (or even better dell?) for half of the price is simple not true.
On Dell website https://www.dell.com/en-us/shop/dell-laptops/new-xps-14-laptop/spd/xps-da14260-laptop, a core ultra 7 358H with 32GB Ram and 1TB SDD is 2749$ with no touch screen and a 2K display and windows Home.
On framework website https://frame.work/products/laptop13pro-intel-ultra-3/configuration/new, the same processor, ram, storage, with 2.8k touch screen, plus windows pro cost 2299$
Framework is cheaper than dell if you don’t try to find deals or buy older models.
If you buy older models, then framework don’t need to replace ram, I can upgrade my laptop to kitted out ryzen AI 9 for only 849$, https://frame.work/products/mainboard-amd-ai300?v=FRANTE0009 with my existing 64GB of ram. I don’t think you can get any laptop close to that quality with this price.
oh Sorry, bad at reading comprehensions :(
Nope, not on intel core ultra 3 unfortunately (unless you have LPCAMM2 lying around, which is unlikely), that is the risky part I mentioned in the end.
If you have a desktop with internet connection, maybe a USB stick would suffice?
There is also USB tethering from a phone that could work.
I am not defending framework. They should try to do better (maybe windows is the bottleneck? not sure). Just offering solutions to people who might encounter this problem later.
You also likely don’t need to reinstall/resetup everything, which is absolutely painful.
I would like to offer a slightly different perspective: I believe framework is uniquely positioned to survive the ram apocalypse (at least respect to their scale).
In the sense that, framework user can keep purchasing and upgrading components, like battery, screen, speaker, hinge, expansion card, without needing to worry about ram prices, and framework can profit from these component without needing to subsidize ram prices.
That being said, as a smaller company, they certainly don’t have the same amount of bargaining power on ram as most big players, and the launch of LPCAM2 is a bit risky, since that pervents people from purchasing new ram/board/laptops given the current ram prices.
And I don’t see why that is a problem. If a company is doing good thing and sustaining itself, I don’t see why they will need to be the next dell, hp, or lenovo. That feels like the toxicity of “endless growth” in the capitalistic view of the world.
Not to mention in most of the place I go to, these are the most popular laptops only behind macbooks. In many situations, they are even more popular than macbooks.
To me the point of framework is that it can reliably endure amateur (aka me) repair.
I have repaired a fair amount of device in my life, companies without a focus on repair will have fragile cabel and components. And everytime I open it up, there would be a high chance of me breaking something, forcing me to use a broken device after that.
Repair and cleaning will need to happen every two or three years for most electronics, and that usually means I will live with a corky device for the next two years, then produce a bunch of ewastes consists of mostly perfectly functioning parts, with one failed critical component (most of the time, said component has not even failed, just significantly worn).
For people who are not aware, “Yao-Shun-Yu” are the first three (half-mythical) kings of China. They are famous for their altruism and kindness.
At this point, I am not even sure naming robots after human rulers is dystopian or not.
Login keyring should automatically unlock upon first user login after boot, maybe you want to see if it is there, and troubleshoot that.
Possible reason that the login keyring is locked is: automatic login by bypassing password, or fingerprint login (only the first login, after that, unlock suspended machine should be fine) both will not unlock your login keyring.
If you need to keep these login, which I honestly don’t recommend (for a general purpose computer), then you can either
Both of these will store your password and sensitive information in plain text, meaning all program with access to your user space will have unrestricted access to these informations.
happy cake day!
To be completely frank, that is a very disrespectful thing to say. My students are intelligent and capable, and most importantly they are very respectful of other’s time and effort, both their teacher and their peer by choosing to understand the material instead of cheating. They attended school to improve themselves by understanding and absorbing existing human knowledge, not because they are ignorant.
Yes he ordered a Trump phone in order to expose it.
I am quite surprised that in the school I am teaching in, student have a much more negative attitude towards genAI than professors, especially in the context of education.
30% of the professor feel that genAI can play a role in education, whereas only 11% of the student holds the same view. That seems to reflect quite well in my homework, only a very small minority (10%) uses some extend of genAI in writing open-ended writing homeworks.
If we really need to summarize the web that frequently, then there is something seriously wrong with the web.
Framework said that even LPCAMM2 cannot support the desired ram speed of strix halo.
