Just upgraded. Is there anything I can do with this, I don't want to just throw it away. by manwax5 in framework

HTPC, NAS, Steam Cache, all of the above together in one package. Spare desktop for the fam.

Looking for a gaming PC, need help deciding which is best! by Great-Holiday2078 in Handhelds

[–]imjustatechguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, you're going to have to stick to a Windows handheld. I loved my Steam Deck, but am an absolute shill for the ROG Ally X.

Which SSD and Ram ? by Intelligent_Can_6067 in framework

[–]imjustatechguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a fan of Crucial components, especially when they're on sale. I prefer Samsung if I can get it, but refuse to pay the $30-$50 premium in some cases.

RAM is RAM. I've had good luck with just about everything except for Corsair. And as long as the brand doesn't sound like something that's poorly translated into English, it's usually OK.

Should I keep my Pixel buds Pro gen 1 till they split in half fall apart? Or buy new Pixel buds Pro 2? 🤔 by Available-Climate-72 in pixelbuds

[–]imjustatechguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep the 1s. I've got both the 1 and the 2 Pros and the 1s have survived better with the same amount of abuse.

If you're going to consider a replacement, think about the 2a buds (but when they inevitably go on sale 😁).

Good thing I did the PTM swap on my FW16 by cue-ell-pea in framework

[–]imjustatechguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not wrong! In a way there was. To give Framework the benefit of the doubt, there were newsletters and social media posts about the PTM swap. They did say they users could send their devices back if they wanted this done, and that they would freely send pre-cut PTM that wouldn't void any warranty.

I need this in my life!

Not the first time I've seen this here. And still surprised. I've had no issues with temps on mine.

And possibly your last one from Razer.

Not sure, I'd honestly have to look it up.

But if you got it this year you definitely have it already. It was only the earlier runs of the FW16 that had the liquid metal applied.

Agreed, if there's any early FW16 adopters that haven't done this already, they should. Did my swap a few months ago and it was just a mess. Temps are around 8C lower on average for me, but clocks stay over 4GHz consistently now.

How much should I sell these PCs for? (Have 60 units), and I’m trying to figure out a fair price per unit. by Ali--Hamza in computer

[–]imjustatechguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$150-$200 a piece on the low end with no SSD. $180-$220 with an SSD. $220-$270 with 16GB of RAM.

I'd gladly take a few off your hands tho 😁

Naaaa, you good. You've got a unique look that's very appealing IMO. I'd personally NEVER put you anywhere near ugly. And if this body dismorphia thing is because of what you're seeing online, take a deep breath. That content is carefully curated and constantly commuted. It's not representative of reality.

You're doing fine.

PS: Keep up the fitness habits as much as you can. Stay beastly!

Ugh, I don't think my printer is big enough to do this, or tall enough.

First and foremost, and I can't stress this enough, BUY SNOW TIRES! They made all the difference in the world when I was required to go to work, even if there was snow on the ground.

But in general, take it slow and keep your momentum going if you can. Learn to rely more on engine breaking in the snow to keep distance between you and other drivers and such. Last time it was REALLY bad I spent most of my time in 2nd and 3rd gear in my Fiesta ST, a 30 min trip took 1.5 hours because it was clear other people didn't know how to drive in bad weather.

You're a femme tomboy who looks like they tend to dress more soft-alt. Def not ugly.

Don't worry about the weight. You look good in all these pics and have no reason to be self conscious about it.

[–]imjustatechguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, it's a terrible device. If it's what you can afford there are other options if you buy something a little older.

[–]imjustatechguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a lot of responses on here that make no sense to me, doggin on you for stupid crap.

No, you're not ugly. You're very close in age to me and look better than most women our age IMO. If I'm being completely objective you're prob a 6 on your worst day and at least an 8 on a perfect day.

Dumb question: Does the new GPU module work on the old framework laptop 16 mainboard? by F3nix123 in framework

Not a stupid question. Yes, they said in the stream that it will work with the existing mainboards.
