Ok, to begin the price isn't really that much of an issue as I am willing to sacrifice it for the modularity. However, the reason I'm into such a modular laptop in the first place is that I am comically clumsy and have horrible luck with technology. For example, I dropped my ThinkPad T450 at the perfect spot for its screen to get decimated. I know repair is an option, but the outdated and nonupgradeable i5-5300U made a newer laptop sound reasonable. My past with laptops is not something I am willing to discuss as of right now, I will be getting a new laptop. However, I have heard concerns about the durability of the FW16 being concerningly bad, but I've also read that the materials (on paper) should be able to withstand most of the trials my clumsiness would put it through, one of the simpler requirements being able to withstand a drop from table height with no visible damage. This is concerning as I'm aiming for a laptop I wont have to replace for a long time, similarly to the P151HM1 I used until 2019, for over 10 years, so durability is a large factor and the modularity serves in case the laptop ends up breaking (which it will, but it is in my interest to minimise how often it does so). The trick feature, that being the swappable GPU really only takes second place for me as I have a well-specced gaming PC capable of fulfilling that role. My primary factors are modularity, durability and CPU power, which is why I'm making this post: I'm concerned about the durability. I really only care about build quality as a factor of durability, I don't need perfect spacer gaps or similar. I'm not willing to get a smaller laptop (see: Framework 13) because I'm interested in the higher computing capacity a 16 inch frame offers for future upgrades (e.g. dGPU, dual NVMEs, 96GB RAM, etc.). Battery life isn't too much of a concern either, as I'm aiming for a more "dock rider" oriented laptop so I'd need maybe 3 hours of light CPU use.

Well, for one example: Kissinger approved Operation Menu, which is estimated to have a death toll of at least 100.000 civilians, and this is just ONE operation. Operation Condor, an anti leftist repression campaign in the Americas, has an estimated count of 80.000 killed and 400.000 political prisoners. These are just specific cases: the "knife wounds" amongst the "amputated limbs" for an analogy.

well this is politics... semantics matter, "tankies" (whatever that term means anymore) are right about a lot of things, sure, but theyre no prophets.

Well, compare this to 2009 Microsoft. Their downfall itself is oniony.

Are you alright? Is everything okay at home? Trying to hurt random people on the internet seems like a bad coping mechanism.

emphasis on the soldiers part but alright

plus, in war casualties are what matters. I'm only looking at this from a strategic perspective, not a humanitarian one.

 

for anyone who wants to offer actual advice: its a lenovo thinkpad t450 with a soldered i5-5300U that hits over 90C when running cargo compiles. I have changed the thermal paste and it didn't do much.
