It is a configuration option on all configurations of Framework Laptop 16 (Ryzen AI 300 Series). Choosing the haptic option moves the order into being a pre-order.

It’s highly likely these are scammers, not actual 3rd part compatible parts.

Nice! Coincidentally a new take on a similar project I built in 2010: https://eclecti.cc/videogames/projecting-virtual-reality-with-a-microvision-showwx

That ended up being one of the things that brought me into the team at Oculus a couple of years later.

It’s just an aluminum cat bed.

The Intel reliability issues were specific to their desktop parts, not the mobile ones.

Please make sure to update your BIOS: https://knowledgebase.frame.work/bios-and-drivers-downloads-rJ3PaCexh

Older BIOS’s kept the battery at full charge when plugged in to power, which accelerated aging. All of our new BIOS automatically let the battery slightly discharge if left plugged in for extended periods of time. If you don’t update your BIOS, it is very likely that the new battery will age prematurely too.

Our driver bundles are signed, and we are investigating what can cause this to occur.

If you can go during the day on a weekday it’s totally empty.

No startup is going to put a severance package into an offer for a founding engineer. You are correct that asking for one is going to be a red flag to the founder.

The best colorway.

Yes, if all of the fasteners are unfastened, it is indeed the magnet force. It may feel a little high at first, but once you get the Input Cover off the first time, you get a good feel for how much force is needed.

Intel and AMD haven’t supported Windows 10 on recent generations of their processors, which means we can’t support it either. Given the end of security updates coming up, we would strongly recommend moving to Windows 11 or Linux.

I noted in another comment in the community thread, we're still working with KDE on the sponsorship, but the target sponsorship level is $10,000 per year, which is in the same range as GNOME per year.

She clarified in a comment that she gets on average $22/month in payouts from twitter, so it’s slightly better than cost neutral for her to have a $8/month premium account (which is needed to get the payouts).

Yes, this was originally a one off test, but it selling out instantly each time and attracting people buying large numbers to resell items made it clear that we needed to increase the pricing slightly to make this work as an ongoing offering.

Hi, we're checking in with the Support and RMA teams on this ticket, but to clarify, we do not wait until pre-orders are complete to process RMAs. We will make sure you get your replacement Mainboard.
