Kim Stanley Robinson proposes this in his recent novel, The Ministry for the Future. He mostly skips the details around how it would actually work though, beyond needing an enormous amount of human labor for verification. In real life, th

The latest Fedora 34 respins (and soon Fedora 35) work out of the box with everything including the fingerprint reader. Ubuntu 21.04 supports everything but the fingerprint reader, which needs libfprint 1.92.0. There is a pretty active co

This is a really good take. I would be very interested in seeing how a multi-million user AR equivalent to VRChat would play out. Layers of it could be extremely compelling or extremely ugly, like different rooms in VRChat are. Gibson, Vi

Just one point of clarification. We (the Oculus team) were based in Irvine, CA, but we were well under 100 people when we relocated to the Facebook headquarters in Menlo Park in 2014. Organizational barriers came and went, but there wasn’

We need to put out more documentation around the host side of it, but it is USB4, supporting DisplayPort Alt Mode on all four ports. For Thunderbolt, we can't state anything until we can complete certifications. For the device side,

We actually do take photos with the screen on, but we use super bright studio lighting photography, which makes it hard to get enough dynamic range to show both the product and the display well. In the future, we'll take the time to b

Definitely. We ship the Framework Laptop DIY Edition without an OS under the expectation that folks will bring their preferred distro. We're testing with Ubuntu 21.04 and Fedora 34, and the recent respins of the latter have full Fram

Thunderbolt 4 is basically a superset of USB4. It's USB4 with some of the optional features required, and more rigorous testing required for certification.

The touchpad PCB acts as a passive signal passthrough for both the keyboard and the fingerprint reader, so that we can have a single cable going from the Input Cover to the mainboard.

There is a small amount of signal loss from the extra connector pair. This is normally fine, but if your monitor+cable situation is already flaky, there is potentially risk there. We would recommend picking up a cable designed to higher p

You can technically unplug the fan, but with a U-series CPU, it will just be throttling most of the time. A lower-power/lower-performance mainboard without a fan is something we could technically do in the future if there is customer

You can run 4 4k 60hz monitors simultaneously if you turn off the internal display, or three if you keep the internal display on. The maximum external display resolution is 8k 60hz, but you can't run multiple of those.

Absolutely. We see the health of the ecosystem as a positive end state for us, regardless of whether we're selling the most modules or third parties are. We're standing up a marketplace to help foster that.

The battery impact for us at this point is likely more a factor of additional firmware and driver tuning that we need to do. We've tested to 10-11 hours in MobileMark 2018, but have actually seen video playback runtime (which should b
