This looks suspiciously like something I could buy : a lightweight well made Linux laptop, with long battery life. I currently use a MacBook and won’t get near a windows machine.

Two questions 1/ will there be a 15 inches version ? ( I’m not getting any younger I like bigger screens ) 2/ software-wise how reliable are the suspend/resume and all the laptop features ? I’ve been using Linux for about 30y and to me this is typically the bits that usually fail. To put it differently, how confident are you that things will work properly out of the box ?

Other than that , I love what you’re doing, please continue.

As other comments have noted, we have Framework Laptop 16 for folks who want bigger screens, and we had some updates for that product today too: haptic touchpad option and an entry-level Ryzen 5 version.

We've been sending pre-release hardware to developers at a bunch of distros to make sure that the core use cases like suspend/resume work as expected out of the box. You can check our general Linux support at frame.work/linux

It is unfortunately very heavy (2.4kg vs 1.5 for my mb air 15)

I take note though that the 13 inches framework is bigger than it seems because of the aspect ratio

I want to say as a fw13 owner that people don't realize that the 3:2 screen ratio gives you extra vertical space compared to your typical notebook and the screen does not feel small at all. That was an excellent decision from their design team.

Agreed. I have a work MBP 14" and a Framework 13, and I didn't realize until just now that they weren't the same screen size. The Framework 13 is very comfortable to use.

Agreed. Whenever I grab my thinkpad I find the 16:9 ratio jarring. I'm a 3:2 guy now through and through, can't ever go back.

I’m not @nrp but I think I can safely answer this one:

> 1/ will there be a 15 inches version ? ( I’m not getting any younger I like bigger screens )

They make a Framework 16, so a Framework 16 Pro now suddenly seems like a possibility, but I don’t think they’re going to make a 15-inch when they have the 16.

Framework 16 is way too bulky. I would like a laptop with a similar form-factor to ThinkPad P1.

But Thinkpad P1 is 15.6"? That's very close to the Framework 16.

Thinkpad P1: W 361.8mm x D 245.7mm x H 18.4mm

Framework 16: W 356.58mm x D 270.00mm x H 17.95mm

The Framework 13 roughly matches 14" laptops from other manufacturers. It's really a 13.5", and has a taller aspect ratio than typical.

> will there be a 15 inches version ? ( I’m not getting any younger I like bigger screens )

Seconding this question, though I would also be very interested in learning whether they're planning a 14" version.

I understand his frustration : I have a similar issue with video games - Xbox gamepass games sometimes leave the service. So I built an app that takes all my games across the various gaming services ( steam etc ) including the Xbox gamepass ones, and it grabs them from the achievements ( games I have played ) on top of the catalog ( available games )should they have left the catalog

That way games that are gone remain and I have a Netflix like interface to view all my games past and present

You do but you then make a career out of it : you become the fixer ( and it can be a very good career , either technical or managerial)

I tried subscribing to pcgamer ( as in, I literally paid for it ) two years ago but this didn’t seem to change structurally the amount of ads i was getting. I also tried to contact them directly but couldn’t find a relevant email address to reach out to.

I now use an ad blocker instead. I’m not proud of it, but being actively hostile to me is something I don’t quite understand especially when I’m trying hard to give them money.

I work for a mega corp, and our global overlord( who is ex dev) has tried Claude code at home, and figured out that generating large amounts of code comes with its own challenges - they explicitly don’t want this to happen so there’s no such metric.

This is one of the books I recommend to my coworkers who are interested in operating systems - it teaches a surprising amount of things by telling you what an OS will do for you and therefore why you need it, instead of telling you how it works inside.

It also remains being very pleasant to read in spite of its very large size( I read the whole book cover to cover ). Obviously you can also read the classics ( minix book, tanenbaum, Bach , and probably modern references ) but this one somehow gives the operating system a purpose which I find absent in the others I’ve read .

If you don’t mind developing, what made you switch stance ? many people never change their minds even when faced with overwhelming evidence , and based on your prior level of support, I’m quite curious about the actual process .

Hard to tell in retrospect. I think the thick layer of distrust against palestinians (which was built by debunked lie after lie from Hamas etc over the years) was finally breached by the sheer asimmetry of power that Israeli forces have gained against Palestinian civilians.

Just forget that the two parties are Jews and Arabs and instead make them Suaheli and Kazakh, and then put one group in such an "agency-less" position as Palestinians are, and give the other group the leverage in power as the Israelis have, plus the grievances. Even if you can understand these grievances – there is just no way these things aren't going to happen.

Plus: The state of Gaza has reached a level of destruction that is just ... well basically as if they have nuked the place (Like I initally favoured). At some point the humane thing would be to call it a win and leave. An that point has probably passed a long time ago.

Plus, I have read about the background of some of Netanjahu's cabinet members and they essentially tick all the boxes of what I find problematic with the aforementioned power asimmetry:

Prior aggresive behaviour against Palestinian civlians in the settlement areas, with the victims having no proper way of legal recourse. Like ganging up on random Arabs there and beating them up. I know there is backlash for this from within Israeli society but man, things are bad if a literal street thug is getting a place in the cabinet, because he behaved that way.

> many people never change their minds even when faced with overwhelming evidence

Not the OP, but many people do. I've changed my stance on similar topics multiple times in the past, based on new (to me, at least) evidence.

‘In other words: AI is making it possible to detect severe security vulnerabilities at highly accelerated speeds.´

Isn’t it rather : we now have a new family of security flaws detector, which find other issues on top of the ones already found by conventional ( human or regular static analyzers ) methods ?

If they supersede all the existing ones , then it’s quite major, and quite a bunch of vendors will disappear …

Same thing here , but triggered by tiredness/stress. If I sleep a lot and well, then it somehow fades until I’m tired again.

I assume my brain is somehow able to filter it out, unless it’s too tired/busy.

It depends on what you bitflip.

I once had a bitflip pattern causing lowercase ascii to turn into uppercase ascii in a case insensitive system. Everything was fine until it tried to uppercase numbers and things went wrong

The first time I had to deal with faulty ram ( more than 20y ago ), the bug would never trigger unless I used pretty much the whole dimm stick and put meaningful stuff in it etc in my case linking large executables , or untargzipping large source archives.

Flipping a pixel had no impact though
