I think that #CAMM is a bad design compared to #SODIMM & #DIMM...

• Like #Apple's bs of #SolderedDownRAM but just slightly less worse cuz now one could only in theory get a daughterboard and doesn't have to replace individual chips.

Still, just gimme regular-ass socketed Chips & #DIMMs ffs!

• Also we don't need to make the THINN-nest machines ffs - just make them #repairable and #serviceable and #upgradeable, because #AntiRepairDesign is way more unsustainable than the 0,1% of idiots who give a shit about whether their #DDR5-RAM can do 6400MT/s or 4800MT/s, simply because most users won't notice that at all (unlike switching from a 2,5" #SATA-#HDD running at 5400rpm to an #NVMe-#SSD that maxes out #PCIe 4x connections.

#FACT: #RAM & #SSD|s are inevitably dying due to age and use and like #ThermalPaste need to be #replaceable for a device to work longterm!

• So stop the #Enshittification of #tech FFS!

I'd rather have a #THICC af #laptop that actually survives my daily use than some flimsy #tablet that snaps in half if I sneeze at it.

• No seriously, most devices can't even fit proper ports and cooling fans for no good reason whatsoever!

Also I think it's insulting to frame basic things like "stability" as a negative.

• Guess what? People want to #GetShitDone and the folks that actually buy a #MobileWorkstation want to be able to rely on that equipment...

'Framing a Better Laptop'

@jsbilsbrough is joined by Nirav Patel, founder of @frameworkcomputer, to talk #RightToRepair, and how we should be looking at #sustainable and #upgradeable #technology.

Of course, we discuss #FrameworkLaptop and what this uniquely customisable and upgradable notebook brings to the market.

@gerrymcgovern That's why I've been using a #Fairphone for many years - #repairable, #upgradeable, ethical sourcing of parts -
