USDT is now <$0.95, so the arbitrage opportunity is getting more exciting by the minute. It will be very interesting to see how long they can hold out against that.

This is truly wild to watch happening in real time. At the time he published his post, UST was around $0.90 and the recovery path to near term stability at $1 seemed plausible. At the time of the HN post, it was at $0.30 and the death spi

This seems to be common in battery powered test equipment. I have a decade old Fluke multimeter and five year old Mitutoyo calipers that both seem to be powered by magic. Neither has needed battery replacement despite regular use.

Yea, we're not fans of these types of awards in general, so we apply to only the few that we feel have meaningful competitive categories. In the case of Red Dot, getting a Red Dot award isn't particularly meaningful, but the &quo

We're seeing better S0ix results than before on recent kernels, like 5.15 that Ubuntu 22.04 will ship with and 5.17 on Fedora 36. There is one workaround required to get to the lowest power levels. This is currently in exploration in

As noted by other commentors, we have a wide range of keyboards currently available with the laptop, including ISO ones. In the UK and countries in the EU we currently ship to, we have British English, French, and German, which are all ISO

Our English International keyboard is indeed ANSI. The two differences are "Alt Gr" and a euro symbol (which is missing from that image, and which I've just captured as a bug internally). This is the keyboard layout most po

We ship the DIY Edition without an OS to let folks bring their preferred distro. We looked at doing a pre-built SKU with a Linux distro, but found that preference is fairly even among the top five or so most popular distros with a long tai

We've handed three systems that can boot unsigned bootloaders to folks in the coreboot community. Our plan in the near term is to help them create a shim loader that can be signed to run on any Framework Laptop, which then enables any

This is most likely an error in our fasteners guide (which I wrote, so it's on me). I just sanity checked one of the M2 fasteners with calipers, and it does indeed follow the ISO standard 0.4mm pitch. We'll double check the numb

Technically you can use the 50 pin header we have for the input system for GPIO, i2c, and USB. The webcam and display headers also have i2c and USB: https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/Mainboard/blob/main&#x

Yep, they are actually part of the webcam module: https://frame.work/blog/1080p-webcam

Good catch, we uploaded a LICENSE file.

Great question on the additional parameters. I'll take that back to our mechanical engineering team.

Could you share which peripherals you see a need for additional documentation on? In most cases where a specific IC is controlling a peripheral or interface, we're at the mercy of the IC vendor or relevant standards body (VESA, PCI-SI

In the top left corner of the Mainboard there is a small button labelled "SW1".

They are actually physically at our warehouse. The constraint has been the fulfillment logic to ensure they don't ship out from the warehouse by a method that allows air shipment. This is in progress, but in the meantime, we can manu

We certainly hope so. As we look at the ~5 year view of this and have a substantial number of Mainboards in the wild that have been upgraded out of Framework Laptops, we want to do everything we can to foster an ecosystem of methods to re-

It works fully standalone. Technically the only required items beyond the Mainboard itself are DRAM and a power source (USB-C or a Framework Laptop Battery).

We're currently setting up the logistics infrastructure for the Marketplace for UK and EU. We'll have waitlist functionality open sooner so that you can at least browse the product catalog though.

This release is aimed more at the former. We're happy to connect with and support anyone who wants to make a serious attempt at a drop-in replacement board though, and would use that exercise to create more documentation to share publ

We hope and expect that many of the re-use use cases can have longer lifetimes than a laptop normally would (e.g. a pfsense box that happily chugs away in a closet for a decade), but past that point, it enters the same disposition stream th

I'm happy to answer any questions anyone has on this. This is an initial set of documentation, and we'll prioritize writing/creating more based on what is most useful to enable Mainboard re-use.

Yep. We considered building an M.2 2230 NVMe USB-C adapter, but it was more efficient to just use a USB-C NAND Flash controller that interfaces the same types of flash that NVMe SSDs do. One less layer of translation.

We're not there yet, but we're trying :) Some other companies that are tracking towards sustainable success that we look at are: * Oura * Wyze * Peloton (though they made some growth mis-steps) All three of those follow a subscrip
