jacquelines 🌟framework computer desktop offering hailed as huge win for repairability and upgradeability
actual update paths available:
1) swap out the cooler for no reason
2) swap out 2x m2 nvme drives
these guys have the most effective marketing + social media strategy in the entire industry
check out the ifixit coverage btw, including their masto thread.
very nice of the "repair your stuff" guys to post long justifications about how improved performance is worth sacrificing the ability to repair anything. very normal.
Val Packett 🧉@jacqueline DRAM failure rates are negligible tbh, i don't think I've ever even heard of memory failing
anyMouse@valpackett @jacqueline I've had RAM go bad few times over the last 15 years and <10 computers I or my family owned.
Mind you, it was never that the bad RAM would show up in memtest, only an occasional system crash under load that would stop happening once I resorted to pulling out RAM sticks one-by-one, so most people just assume their computer is toast and too hard too diagnose or repair.
That said, "repairing" is minority use-case, majority of times you need it to fight planned obsolescence
