We're adding more Bezel colors throughout the year. We have Transparent available now for pre-ordering. We've improved our manufacturing infrastructure for Bezels recently to make it much easier to create new colors than it was

It makes total sense! A half worn out battery may no longer be useful to you inside of your laptop, but can still be useful as an external power bank.

That's correct, it is a 16:10 16" display.

We don't have any benchmarks we can share yet, but we absolutely expect that there will be press reviews that do comparisons between Intel and AMD-based Framework Laptops.

They do use different mainboards in order to enable all of the functionality that exists in the Framework Laptop 16 (6x Expansion Cards, the Expansion Bay, and the Input Module system).

We would absolutely love to see a Tenstorrent Expansion Bay Module.

We’ve opened the specs specifically to avoid this scenario! The information we have up on GitHub today is enough to get started on module development, and we’ll share any additional information that is useful to enable third party board ma

Absolutely! We’ve been chatting with Jack Humbert, and he’s actually been prototyping an ortholinear keyboard module for the Framework Laptop 16. There are likely some photos of it in press articles about the event today.

I’m happy to answer questions that everyone has about what we announced! It may be a little while until I’m able to jump back on though.

The preferences reason is the main one. We regularly run surveys in the community about distro preference, and we haven’t yet seen any one distro get over 30% of the vote. In response to that, we’ve written guides for setting up the top 3

We’re trading anecdotes here, but in all of the Series A and earlier startups I’m familiar with, the Founder/CEO is the the lowest paid person in the company. I would assume that non-Founder CEOs being hired in would typically be the

This came out of our own internal observation that 2TB 2230 SSDs were available from our suppliers, but seemed to be completely unavailable on the retail market, despite there being a clear need for Steam Deck users. Edit: Just expanding on

We don’t foresee any issues continuing to make parts and modules available, even with increased demand from module re-use projects and products. In fact, we explicitly encourage this kind of re-use, because it benefits everyone. It’s a gre

Apple does a much better job than most big tech companies of canceling or rebooting projects they don’t think will be successful before they ship rather than after. See for example the car project and AR/MR, both of which have been re

It’s probably cheaper now to get a sublease on commercial real estate or a lease in a class B/C building in most parts of the US than renting the equivalent sized residential garage. It certainly is in SF at least.

It’s not made obvious by the article, but this lawsuit is for non-payment on a lease of one floor of 650 California St, not for non-payment on the 1355 Market St headquarters. They are also not paying rent at the latter, so presumably anot

Cisco tried a fairly extreme version of this, but a new CEO put an end to it due in part to morale damage in the bulk of the company not working on those projects: https://www.ft.com/content/a81c934c-cb31-11e9-af46-b09e

For most consumer electronics devices, the energy that goes into manufacturing them vastly exceeds the total energy used during their lifetimes. In that sense (ignoring differences in emissions from different energy sources), from an envir

It is indeed exactly the reverse in the US currently. Pay ranges for software engineers tend to be higher than for hardware engineers at big tech companies, and many folks with electrical engineering backgrounds end up going into software

This seems like a great way to hire freelance copywriters/ghost writers too. I would absolutely hire someone I knew could match my tone well for writing generic unattributed copy.
