The more impressive thing is that they managed to get the Nvidia upgrade to be backwards compatible with existing Framework 16 models.

That’s the push I need to really, truly believe they’re committed to the goal of upgradablity. Too many “modular” products have come out where the “upgraded” modules were only available if you bought the newest version of the base product.

In the next year or so, I’ll probably be buying a new laptop, and this has convinced me that Framework is probably the way to go.

Apple has EU problems. Google got legally fucked in the US with the Epic lawsuit.

Didn’t they just lose a major lawsuit over their treatment of sideloaded apps and stores?

Are you sure you weren’t just in Houston?

The issue is they used to base it on vehicle classification AND size, but the manufacturers just classified everything as a light truck to getbaround hlthe regulations. So they got rid of that loophole, but now a Toyota Corolla has less-strict fuel economy standards than an old-style Ford Ranger. So they essentially outlawed small trucks.

It’s not just trucks, either. The small cargo van no longer exists. The Ford Transit Connect, Ram Promaster City, and Nissan NV200 were all discontinued around 2021 because they can no longer meet CAFE regulations at that size.

The Gord Maverick is a small truck, but it comes standard as a hybrid and has very little towing or hauling capacity as a result.

2 things:

1. The new truck has 4 doors. That’s a crew cab.
2. Part of the reason for today’s massive trucks is a change in CAFE regs starting in 2012 that bases fuel economy standards on vehicle footprint. It’s easier to make a larger footprint than a more efficient vehicle.

Autistic boys sometimes get called quaint. Other times people call the police and they get shot.

I’d appreciate help from the rest of the world.

Please embargo us. We need our economy to be in ruins next November, with Trump and his goons as the culprits. Heck - if you can fuck our economy by January, we may even be able to primary some current Republicans so thet Trump is fucked by the midterms no matter which party wins.

These jank movies do have a function.

People gotta learn to use cameras and decorate sets and shit. Might as well make a dumb movie out of it and hope to sell a few units.

That’s so close it should’ve just announced the day it released and blown all our minds.

That’s the point. Musk wants control over the entire internet.

If all the other internet infrastructure was abandoned, he would be the most powerful person in history. Want to regulate him afterwards? He could just shut down the internet in your region until you accept his terms.

I want to see the answers on the right.
