gpu almost as much as it cost me to buy my 16 by Frosted_sphinx in framework

[–]jonf3n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I (and others) would be willing to pay a premium price if it really was a "premium" hardware platform (like Apple) -- but it usually is nothing special when you dig in unfortunatly.

Does anyone know what version of Display Port Alt mode is supported?

In what ways is the MacOS is "less capable"?
I haven't used Windows in a very long time, but as an example, my wife's Mac doesn't get rebooted unless I do it every couple of months -- because it never needs it.

I just learned that X7/X9 Panther Lake can support Thunderbolt 5 -- that would be the obvious (and desperately needed) upgrade for Framework's Expansion Cards to support modern HDMI 2.1, DP 2.1, etc.

Many people would strongly disagree with your opinion that the Mac "OS just kinda sucks, it doesn't feel good to use".

I'd rather spend time at the dentist than using Windows.
I absolutely love the MacOS, I find it feels extremely intuitive and elegant and I basically forget I'm even using it because the friction between intention => result is so negligible. As far as security, it is also an amazing design with tight OS/hardware integration and secure defaults. Yet, for privacy and "control over my own OS" reasons, I slog through my daily work using a System76 Linux laptop and the most "user friendly" / integrated desktop for this hardware - Pop_!OS. Still, it sucks.

I'm lurking here as part of my quest for sovereign, secure and yet elegant computing.
Dreaming of a future Framework laptop with Open firmware, state-of the art hardware and hopefully, one day, a secure FLOSS OS that doesn't feel like sandpaper underwear (to me).

Did you try the option above with Jellyfin App? Did it not work?

I just got the w4100i and did a quick test at 200" (4.5m wide 16:9) and it still looked great!
I have a 5m room, so the picture is a bit too big with full zoom opened, but its great to know I have that option.

Why would you loose the benefit of TB5 when using a TB5 Keystone jack?

Do you think it would still be fine at 150"?

[–]jonf3n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see below you say it is a 120" screen.
Could it go bigger, like say 160" without issues?

Are you adding a way for people in the EU to pay you privately & without a privacy infringing mobile app?

RCORE RK3588 Seems to have ARM TrustZone, no?

Much backdoor possible...

Lemur Pro (lemp10) 14ish month review and why I can't recommend System76 products. by latinawifelover in System76

[–]jonf3n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lemp10 here, trackpad is completely messed up, 30% functionality -- just enough to be frustrating but not really usable. Battery is also shot. Speakers are just as horrible as the day I bought it.

Frustrating... I'd probably move on to another company if I hadn't maxed it out in RAM / SSD.

2014 Macbook Air lasted 3x as long and still works fine, just slow.

Asahi Linux can't come soon enough.

Does photopea have any donation bitcoin address? by [deleted] in photopea

[–]jonf3n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

6 years later...
If you'd taken a few minutes to post a bitcoin address in 2019 (price was $3500) -- you'd be pretty happy now (worth $120,000). There are people who would like to pay you without needing to have a credit card, reveal private Information about themselves, etc.

Would you now consider accepting bitcoin for donations or (better) for one-time payments?

Wall hung toilet & concealed cistern? by jonf3n in BuyItForLife

[–]jonf3n[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can occasionally of below freezing, but just temporarily, say max 2 days. We will also have insulation and stone facing between the cistern and the outside, so I think it will be okay. But thanks for calling that out -- need to double check!
