The same companies that can’t make a proper website to sell their products? Please. Framework’s got it in the bag. I don’t remember the number of times I typed dell.com or Lenovo.com, looked for a replacement for my 10-year old XPS, and cam

There might be some confusion about the transition to what some call post-literate era: era where text is not the primary medium. That’s not necessarily bad because you get the advantages of other mediums - oral and visual but it is somethi
