They wouldn’t because they don’t have the manufacturing capacity to dilute their product line like that. The whole concept of the Frameworks laptop is to keep as many parts as possible between generation so its always upgradeable between generation. We’ll see how well they can stay on this course.

Ok, that sounds cool. You got any picture?
- Comment on Tough, Tiny, and Totally Repairable: Inside the Framework 12 3 days ago:
I guess it doesn’t really work in their case because they only update certain parts each time, while all other parts stay the same revision, so you do need to refer to the specs to know which model you’re referring to.

Can you give some examples on how they’re making it worse for developers? I’ve never used Mac OS before, so I got no clue what’s different about it.
- Comment on Tough, Tiny, and Totally Repairable: Inside the Framework 12 3 days ago:
The number only indicate the screen size. The other two laptop models are the Framework 13 and 16. The only thing that made it confusing for you was your assumptions, since it all seems pretty straightforward to me.

How does Helium fit through places that Hydrogen can’t even though its bigger? Is it because Hydrogen would react with things along the way while Helium won’t?

How are you complaining of someone not recognising a joke when you failed to recognise that the response was a joke, as well?

Would a tip even make a difference when it comes to piercing skin?

I’m not sure a syringe would be allowed during filming such scenes. Maybe they don’t have the budget for a fake syringe prop.

What does that even mean?

Guess I’ll still be waiting for Valve to update their search function. Thanks for the suggestion, anyway.
- Comment on You can now search for Steam games by adjustable difficulty, mouse-only options and other accessibility tags 1 week ago:
But I prefer browsing in the Steam app. Do they have a plugin for the built-in Steam browser?

My problem is his general conclusion to always prefer China. Making decisions without considering the situation you’re in.
- Comment on You can now search for Steam games by adjustable difficulty, mouse-only options and other accessibility tags 1 week ago:
I’m still miffed that we still can’t filter for two tags at once in Steam, unless its just me who doesn’t know how to do it. Everytime I filter more than one tag, it just acts more like an ‘or’ rather than an ‘and’.

That is until they have enough data to be able to sabotage a major part of your country’s infrastructure and use it as a bargaining chip to exploit your country, then it won’t be less damage. Its just theoretical, but we know that’s one of the reason any country collect data from another country’s citizens.
Just weigh the risks every time instead of defaulting to a position of China all the time.
- Comment on Jeff Geerling: Self-hosting your own media considered harmful (updated). Youtube removed his content, saying that self hosting content is "dangerous or harmful content" 1 week ago:
I would go so far as to say they are already in a shit state, but they’re just not stopping the process yet.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 3 weeks ago:
Tell them to copy and paste that text from their phone to their TV and tell me how it goes. First, you gotta explain what apps are available on whatever TV they’re using, though.
You also conveniently forget to mention the amount of work you need to setup a domain name that points to your Jellyfin server vs just telling them to sign up for a Plex account and tell you the email address they used.
Btw, the average person have no trouble signing up for an online account. How do you think people create an account for their social media, email address, and online shopping? Just google Plex and sign up. It’s a familiar process for them, unlike dealing with URLs or VPN apps.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, but the proportion of people who used computers during that time is much smaller than the generations after, meaning they only represent a very small minority of non-technical computer users.
Not to mention that my country lagged behind in terms of computer adoption during the 90’s and 00’s compared to developed nations, so it is even less likely for you to find that category of people around me.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 3 weeks ago:
They can if forced to, but they never have to do that normally. What you’re telling people to do is make normal people do things they don’t normally do when browsing the web and saying its as easy as making them sign up for a Plex account. Most people have done similar things as the latter, but they only have to type a full URL once or twice in their lifetime.
That is way beyond the comfort zone of most people I know. The general use case of web browser for normal people is googling the website they want and clicking the link while being blissfully unaware of what a URL is or does.
This does not mean they are mentally deficient, it just means they spend their mental processing and memory on other things they deem actually important.
- Comment on Plex now will SELL your personal data 3 weeks ago:
Then, you are completely out of touch with how most people use computers.
- Comment on Considering the old model is made with shrink-wrapping this is viable option 3 weeks ago:
Its pretty common to be that level of knowledgeable. A lot of people are casually interested enough about animals and biology to have heard discussions about muscular structures that they can determine when something doesn’t work. It doesn’t mean they can form their own hypothesis on what a spinosaurus skeletal structure is used for, especially if he knows that even experts are still arguing about it until today.
It’s wiser to trust the words of someone who knows his own limitations and admits to it than someone who confidently uses a word without knowing the meaning. You can’t seem to grasp that people can have a varied level of knowledge about different things within the same subject.
You’re basically saying that someone being confident about your car having a puncture is being paradoxical if he also doesn’t have the confidence to say what punctured it.
- Comment on Generative AI's most prominent skeptic doubles down 3 weeks ago:
The article literally mentioned AGI, which is why he commented about the relationship between LLM and AGI. I agree with him, LLM by itself will never be an AGI, but it can definitely be a part of it, especially if it takes the role similar to the human language centre.

Its impossible to know if your joke might be offensive to others when you live different lifestyles.
It’s like telling people not to serve food that might be prohibited by the religion of one of their dinner guests when they have never interacted with the religion before.
What OP does here is trying to educate himself, which is the right move, in my opinion.
- Comment on Considering the old model is made with shrink-wrapping this is viable option 3 weeks ago:
He’s not an expert doesn’t equal he lacks any knowledge whatsoever. He might lack the knowledge to theorise what the bones are used for but has enough knowledge to know that it doesn’t work as a muscle attachment point. How is this paradoxical?

No, because you don’t save the bullshit along with the content. Also, it is a lot more organised than saving the html.
