Seen your meme during my lunch break doom scrolling on another site. Happy to see you are here on lemmy too!

There is a UFS-II specification and even a PCIe version specifically for micro SD cards. It was all planned out, and it would have been trivial to tell consumers: "Yo need card with more contacts as shown in picture". But no, the biggest manufacturer of flash storage is samsung, and they decided they'd rather sell higher storage capacity phones as a premium. Easy to do when you're the second biggest manufacturer of of phones and apple already paved the way.
Nice list. I chuckled at the fact that the bitcoin section does not recommend bitcoin :) We're also here on lemmy, if you ever need help or just want to say hi
Fascinating. Thanks for taking the time to type it out
It's worth it for the dry storage and automatic loading alone. Printing multiple objects one after another on the same bed and same print job, but with different materials is also a great feature and huge time saver for small parts. For actual multi-material prints the best use cases are imo writing into the first layer with a different color or using 2 different non-adhering materials for a thin layer between supports and the part. All of these things require very little filament changes and significantly improve the usage experience.
At least the framwork has windows support - I couldn't bear the thought of forcing linux onto people and have them missing out.
You are doing it wrong. Framework is easy to DIY, use that option and bring your own memory and storage. Only get what you need right now, you can always upgrade later when prices come down. Instead of the included charger, get a high quality third party 65W GAN charger. All that gets the cost down to about 1600 with barely any downside. Don't buy a modular device without using the modularity to your advantage.
lol. Look at the current state and trend of tech and tell me with a straight face that it's you who will be getting the innovation. What amazing feature was introduced in the last 10 years you couldn't live without? How much garbage was introduced just because companies could get away with it because the average consumers PC is powerful enough to not notice the spyware/adware/bloatware running in the background?
Yes, buy the new thing. Consume. Trash. Buy new.
I don't even value repairability to save a buck long term. I value it because I know I can get my system up and running again ways before I finish setup on a new device.
They have no build-in ports besides audio on the framework 13. The framework 16 only has 6 expansion bays, nothing else.
Electrically? Yes.
Mechanically the expansion card has higher durability because the force on the USBC is minimized. It's also convinient to have build in "carry slots", so for your standard loadout you don't need to bring a bag with accessories. Compare it to the dongle storage in a wireless mouse.
Agreed. If you buy the minimum spec bare bones version and get RAM and NVME from a third party, the price is somewhat comparative to other MRSPs. If you go for a higher spec or compare to sales prices instead of MSRP you pay up to 50% premium according to my research.
If you however factor in downtime of a broken and non-repairable device, plus the time spend on setting up a replacement, the framework can easily compete if your setup is complex.
Good advertising on your side
