@mntmn oh cool.
Given how #Framework has put me off with their sponsorships and how the continued #Enshittification of #ThinkPad|s (and me not stomaching the cost of a #3Dprinter for the #NUCbook) m, I do have the privilegue of my daily driver tools being not hard-locked to #amd64 and thus being able to switch architectures…
@[email protected] @[email protected] #ARM64 grows because #Intel and #AMD basically gave up delivering compareable computing power in the same thermal, electrical and price envelope. - See [Z3735F](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/80274/intel-atom-processor-z3735f-2m-cache-up-to-1-83-ghz/specifications.html) (2,2W), [N3010](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/91710/intel-celeron-processor-n3010-2m-cache-up-to-2-24-ghz/specifications.html) (3W) & [x5-E8000](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/92124/intel-atom-x5e8000-processor-2m-cache-up-to-2-00-ghz/specifications.html) (4W) having no successors of equally low TDP or even lower in production! The closest ist the [i3-N300](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/231806/intel-core-i3n300-processor-6m-cache-up-to-3-80-ghz/specifications.html) (7W) and [N95](https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/231800/intel-processor-n95-6m-cache-up-to-3-40-ghz/specifications.html) (15W) respectably. Add to it the rise of #SBCs like #RaspberryPi that further kicked the cost down in terms of basic computing and the big #Linux #community that welcomes cheap #hardware and does it's best to put it to good use. - See the #MNTreform by @[email protected], which embraces #ComputeModules and doesn't have any #amd64 #mainboard (or rather #SOM) option AFAIK... It truly confirms @[email protected] 's saying that #Innovation in Computing it actually *trickling up* and thus #tech gets moved from the #Desk to the #Rack to *"the #Cloud"*... - I mean, in many #DevelopingCountries the #Desktop and #Laptops get skipped for very cheap #Smartphones and cheaper #Tablets to the point that regular #PC's ain't common outside of businesses and government offices... Obviously, I wished for truly #OpenSource'd #RISCv to take the place but that's about 5-25 years lagging behind #ARM due to #patents in many key technologies like #PowerSaving... - But we've to admit that on a global scale, #Flathub [is]( https://social.linux.pizza/@Oleksii/115820203243718625) a #RoundingError in terms of #SoftwareDistribution, because not every Desktop - Linux distro supports it, much less uses it per default!
@fuchsiii @puniko and given #Framework takes pride in sponsoring some serious asshole, I guess you gonna consider #DIY then?
@tommi @fraxinas thanks for showing more spine and integrity than @frameworkcomputer! 
I hope that you guys will find a different company / project willing to see your #integrity as inspiring enough to at least consider hiring you.
@slaine I know. #VIA did keep a foot in #embedded since they were still offering new C7 chips in 2016 and are only beaten by like DM&P's #Vortex86 SoC's and their #ICOP-branded #SOM|s...
This is why #RaspberryPi (and to an extent #DMP) own the market, as I can literally just order either conveniently online with not much of a hassle.
@simonzerafa I mean obviously #reuse / #UseLonger is better and if your options are "corporate surplus" or nothing then I'd never judge.
To me it's just that #ThinkPad as a brand has really died as every single Device is a #downgrade in #repairability & #upgradeability compared to my #X230Tablet:
They have #SolderedDownRAM even on P-Series #Workstation machines, not just cheap cheap #Lenovo consoomer devices.
Batteries ain't toolfree-swappable anymore!
#WWAN modules are worse (i.e. #Fibocom #850GL aka. #Intel #XMM7360)
#Linux support gets worse and neither Lenovo nor @ubuntu feel responsible on a "#Ubuntu-certified Workstation" (i.e. #P15v)
Less & Worse #Docking options.
Most machines don't offer Linux or to eveb to opt-out of #Govware noone should pay their overcharged premium for (in fact #Microsoft pays Lenovo $25 for every #Windows #preinstall so they don't ship Linux, they don't even pay the $10 for an #OEM-#UEFI-Key, much less the $135+ of a #SystemBuilder version they charge for!)
...
Personally, I wish I had €.€€€.€€€ so I could just develop the #NUCbook and be done with the #Enshittification of #Laptops / #Notebooks!
I mean, I'd not have any issues with a "shitty" #Netbook if it's prized acceptable.
Cuz then I might be better off buying a used #ThinkPad with #USBc, remove the dead battery and stap a Powerbank to it.
Tho I'd rather start the #NUCbook project instead or buy a @frameworkcomputer / #Framework12 instead...
@krutonium @hexaitos nodds in agreement I need to make the #NUCbook and #PocketCrypto in #transparent acrylic / resin too...
I mean if @frameworkcomputer were to offer a transparent case option you'd bet @fuchsiii would go like "#ShutUpAndTakeMyMoney!" on it...
@bwana I consider doing something like a #NUC #PCcase...
Also I'd not want to ruin an expensive collectors piece just to dremel around and find out.
It'll also help me designing the #NUCbook and I was considering to basically just scale up the two long sides for that, embracing the #FrutigerAero #aesthetics if the form factor!
@nixCraft cool...
Personally I'd propably make a "screenless" #NUCbook down the lane and use that as an #AiO similar to those that @vwestlife seemingly likes...
Would've been the ideal testing system for OS/1337 ....
