@matthartley I finally got my hands on a framework laptop. Just so happened that someone was selling their 11th gen on Craigslist for about $450. So now I'm a part of framework ecosystem and I also get to experience the upgradeability of it down the road. There was a small dent in the top cover, but I was able to hammer that out fairly easily since the screen was easy to remove. Hooray!

Hello old friend.

I got this laptop for free from Microsoft ironically from a Twitter contest years ago. She may be a 4th gen Intel laptop but it still has some pep. At least I can get usb-C 20v PD to barrel jack cables for this.

@socialhappiness.bsky.social You would recognize the sticker.

Nothing like putting up a new switch to expand your network.

Ha! The Display unit for the Legion Z2 GO is running Ubuntu in the background instead of SteamOS. Lol. Can't really click on the interface though so I don't know which version it runs.

Next batch of stickers to be converted to magnets. These were from the Tri-City Comic Con in Pasco WA a couple months back. Just now getting around to doing this. Plus the our local renaissance fair is happening tomorrow, so I will probably have another batch of stickers to do as well.

This was fun indeed. It solved a problem I had with LM Studio. I honestly thought implementation MCP modules would be difficult, but it was pretty painless. Also Warp is an amazing tool for terminal use.
