That's fair. I was definitely exaggerating, but I do know I had coverage in much more of the country than the people I traveled with.

Problem is, T Mobile bought so many other carriers that their coverage is unbeatable in the US. I've been all over the entire country and had coverage everywhere others with competing carriers didn't. That's anecdotal I suppose, but I'm afraid to switch to a carrier with worse coverage.

This isn't a backdoor, the bureau says.

"It isn't a backdoor because we aren't calling it one. We named the backdoor Lawful Access, so it's that, not a backdoor."

Imagine thinking an ad post will be successful on possibly the most anti-advertisement community on the internet.

Well that was a crazy read. Never seen a company act this way before. Sounds like a very small operation. Unfortunately their products don't appeal to me at all, I'd much rather buy a Framework.

These power hungry tyrants just can't STAND the idea of normal humans being able to communicate without their prying eyes spying on us. They claim this is for the purpose of protecting the public. This is plainly not true, as crime will occur regardless. They cannot eliminate crime, despite their outrageous claims, nor do they actually want to. E2EE comms will be used to plan crime sometimes. Sorry, not sorry. Privacy is worth that cost. I'll die on that hill.

Hence, if the data is not on someone else's computer in the first place, it is not a matter of time.

The solution is to stop putting your data on other people's computers. You can't control other people's computers. Apple does not care about you any more than any other trillion dollar corpo. Take back control.

Oh please. Warrants are rubber stamped, it's as simple as clicking a button. And do you really think entities like the NSA bother with formalities like warrants?

as Chinese law allows government access to company-held data.

... Kind of exactly like how US law allows government access to company-held data?

 

This guy's dad is the former VP of a multibillion dollar Turkish conglomerate, as well as the secretary of a government department. Mom and Dad were able to fly to their other home in NJ to give birth so he'd get US citizenship. His uncle is the founder and owner of TYT Media and gave him his media career. He went to Rutgers. He lives in a multimillion dollar mansion in the Hollywood Hills. This is by definition not the kind of person who can be a voice of the People. Saying "I recognize my privilege" over and over, while living his lifestyle, doesn't negate his privilege and complete lack of real-life experience outside of the curated garden of the wealthy. He gets paid obscene amounts of cash to sit in his bedroom and word-vomit for 9 hours a day. Why are his unending opinions taken so seriously? He gives me strong controlled opposition vibes.

Edit: Thank you all for this discussion. I learned a lot.

I'm curious about when we might see the next AMD refresh for the Framework Laptop 13. The current top-spec option is the Ryzen 7 7840U, which was introduced in early 2023 and started shipping in Q3 2023. Given AMD's latest offerings and Framework's history of timely updates, soon we might expect to see a new mainboard featuring AMD's newer CPUs, like those from the Ryzen 8040 series or the upcoming Ryzen 9000 series.

  • Ryzen 7 7840U:
    • Architecture: Zen 4
    • Cores/Threads: 8/16
    • Base/Boost Clock: 3.3 GHz / 5.1 GHz
    • TDP: 15-28W
    • Integrated GPU: Radeon 780M

Potential New CPUs:

  • Ryzen 8040 Series: Higher base and boost clocks, improved power efficiency, and enhanced RDNA 2 or RDNA 3 integrated graphics.
  • Ryzen 9000 Series: Zen 5 architecture, up to 16 cores and 32 threads, improved AI processing capabilities, and better power efficiency.

Framework has consistently updated its laptops with the latest Intel and AMD CPUs, so it seems we might be due for a refresh soon.

What are your expectations for the next AMD mainboard refresh?
