What about a lenovo yoga? Reportly good with linux.

I just got a T480 thinkpad from craigslist for 120$. Frickin stellar machine for the money. Its not the fastest, but fine for light dev. Or will be once I put 32G of ram in it. With 16 I sometimes experience slowdowns due to swap. Luckily memory isn't soldered in on this model.

No touchscreen though, and I wouldn't get one even if it was available. Paid extra for that in my old precision 5520, and almost never used it. If it doesn't fold completely then its not useful IMO.

Speaking of which, my dell precision 5520 was a good machine, but had chassis problems. Hinge fell apart after screws fell out, and as a result the power connector broke, as did a replacement power connector. Dell battery swelled up making the touchpad unusable, so did a replacement dell battery. No-name lower capacity battery ok. Keyboard wore out and keys cracked, replaced but now becoming unreliable again. Screen and motherboard are still good, but unfortunately its become unusable. Some of these problems are to be expected in a 7 year old heavily used laptop, but I haven't seen this same degree of decay in thinkpads.

I don't know if snapdragon elite is compatible with framework FOSS goals, but if so that's a thing I'd like to see. Currently considering a thinkpad 14s gen 6.

This specific tech is, yes, nvidia dependent. The game changer is that a team was able to beat the big players with less than 10 million dollars. They did it by operating at a low level of nvidia's stack, practically machine code. What this team has done, another could do. Building for AMD GPU ISA would be tough but not impossible.

Ok that's pretty close! The reddit thing was about streaming your camera, and having a chat window where you could read comments from viewers.

The other key element was having a place where viewers could see what was currently streaming. That allows people to casually go see "what's on" without needing to coordinate with livestreamers to set up a time to watch, keep track of streamer channels, etc.

I really liked the livestream feature that was on reddit a few years ago. Would be cool to have a fediverse version of that, where people could casually stream from their phones with just a peertube app.

God I hate these short format video things. Trashy content designed to be addictive.
