Some cool stuff from FOSSASIA2026.

A RISC-V motherboard for a #framework 13.

I like the esthetics of my x1 carbon with IBM colors and it has trackpoint, but frameworks giving almost everything else I like about computers.

The year of RISC-V laptops probably is not yet here, but excited how fast #riscv advancing.

Bought Slay the Spire 2 yesterday and I'm really digging it so far! (is that the correct usage of 'digging'?)

When I wanted to play it whilr traveling today, it insisted on using the dGPU of my Framework 16 and I was only able to play for like 45 minutes :(

Currently I'm trying to figure out why it primarily runs on the iGPU but still keeps the dGPU active...

I have made exactly the same experience with #framework support. Their strategy is apparently to make it so difficult to open a case that users just give up. :(

OTOH, this is a #FrameworkLaptop, so I guess I shouldn't be _too_ surprised that it comes with a White Power reference.

Decided to take it one step further and use the BORE scheduler via the linux-cachyos kernel packaged for Fedora. copr.fedorainfracloud.org/copr. With everything all the way up (screen brightness, no throttling, running prorgams like opensnitch, protonvpn/bridge, localsend, all the things) we are at about 8 hours of total usable battery time. This is a win. #framework16 #FrameworkLaptop

Is there anyone here doing #elixir or #erlang development on a #framework laptop? #FrameworkLaptop

@moppedijk I can highly recommend! If you're looking for good alternative to #FrameworkLaptop, look no further. You can even get your favorite #linux distro pre-installed.

I just noticed an ingenious property of the design of @frameworkcomputer's modules that confused me initially:

Why have these USB-C modules that merely extend the mainboard port when you could just have slots embedded into the frame?

I realised that USB-C ports degrade.
When that happens, the fix is trivially easy: swap in a cheap module in <10 s.

If the ports of the motherboard were exposed directly, you'd need to either re-solder new ports or swap the entire board.

My #FrameWorkLaptop ended up needing a mainboard replacement to resolve my audio issues (probably). I was expecting the delivery tomorrow, but it looks like it's a day early! A small bright light amidst the frustration of having to RMA this board for a second time. Feel a little like I'm producing *more* e-waste with this laptop than I would have with a more conventional device, if I'm being honest.

Switching the glossy display of my 13 to the matte variant was a joy. Well explained guide. Just a few screws. No hidden plastic snappers that are just way too easy to break.
All done in under 10 minutes.
Ordered a usb-c to edp board to have options on what to do with the old still functioning screen

Now if memory prices wouldn't be through the roof I could even consider upgrading the motherboard to something more recent.

Just delighted - jocular - chuffed, even - to be once again doing troubleshooting steps on my Framework 13 and wondering if I've opened a whole can of worms.

I start to really need a new laptop. My personal #system76 laptop from 2018 starts to feel a bit limiting compared to my #M4 work #macbook pro. I made my wanted build on the #FrameworkLaptop website. It's like 3500$ cad. I don't have the money right now but it's high on my list of priority things to buy. I wish ram wasn't that expensive...
