Probably because he rides a bike

Indeed, different price point though, but shouldn’t be more expensive in the long run. I like what they’re doing and live my AMD 13

You’re welcome!

I’m pretty certain you won’t regret it!

The 16 inch model can have a GPU module installed indeed, which makes it slightly longer and heavier of course. Framework plans on releasing newer GPUs in the future, but can’t guarantee it, as it also depends on the GPU manufacturers.

Let’s hope they will be able to also provide GPU updates, which would truly make it fully upgradeable machine.

The Framework laptops can be easily upgraded and/or repaired by just about anybody who can watch a YouTube video. It is indeed possible to buy a base model and then upgrade it later.

Keep in mind however that you can’t just replace the CPU, but you have to replace the whole mainboard. Other components can be swapped at will, like RAM, SSD, Display, camera and microphone module, hinges, … Then of course there are the modules that you can easily swap without even opening the laptop, and can give you different ports, card readers, storage or custom modules (diy projects for example).

The build quality is quite solid on my FW13, the keyboard is decent and the trackpad is quite good. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another one if the need arises…

If you like classical music, give qobuz a try… High quality audio, large selection of classical music.

When you create a tidal account they tell you how to transfer your playlists automatically via a 3rd party service (Limited to 500 tracks, unless you pay). Qobuz does the same, but if I’m not mistaken actually partners with the 3rd party service to offer it for free without the 500 track limit.

Ah, if that’s what you meant you’re absolutely right. I think there’s only one country in Europe where they have some (rather limited) form of carry by the public (Czech Republic if I’m not mistaken)

Yes, and as far as I know so do the UK (even air rifles are rather restricted there) and Singapore. There will undoubtedly be others, but I’d be surprised if that’s anywhere near a majority (if you consider strict gun laws to be the ones that make it very hard for people to legally own firearms).

I wouldn’t go as far as saying a total van is totally normal everywhere else, because I don’t know many countries with such a ban. I don’t know many other countries with concealed or open carry laws, so that’s certainly a difference.

Countries like Switzerland and Germany prove that private gun ownership can go hand in hand with regulation and enforcement, and not cause as many casualties as in the US.

In that case it sounds like Tuta is the right choice for you. I just wanted to make sure you knew about the drawbacks. For me the search thing is what killed it, because I regularly search older emails.

I moved away from Tuta, and while getting my mail out wasn’t as straightforward as with regular mail services, it also wasn’t hard.

Proton offers an IMAP bridge, which will let you use any IMAP client to download your mail and then transfer it somewhere else.

I tried Tuta when it was still called Tutanota, but it was rather cumbersome to use. The mobile and desktop app would work reasonably well, but searching through your emails was a pain.

It also wasn’t possible to use any email client on the pc. Proton also doesn’t offer IMAP access, but they do have a bridge you can install for that, enabling the use of almost any mail client.

You should be able to but a used set in very good condition for that price.

Understandable. Good luck hunting for drives!

I got one or 2 4 TB drives (Seagate IronWolf). If you’re interested in 5-6 year old NAS drives that got replaced with larger capacity ones, send me a message and I’ll send you the smart data. I wasn’t planning on selling them, but they’re not being used anymore so I might just as well.

One of the things I love about my electric motorcycle is how quiet it is. I can ride around without annoying people with obnoxious noise.

I have to add that I don’t mind the sound of most (unmodded) exhausts, but I can’t also imagine that when you love in a region that’s popular among motorcyclist, it becomes quite annoying when you can’t enjoy the good weather outside without near constant noise.

One hour of 360 video is roughly 60GB. Process that video and export it and you get a lot of data as well. I would not call it being super heavy on video to have one hour of source material on your phone, which you could not do right now.

360 photos are roughly 150MB each.

Storage is cheap, but sold at a very high mark-up.

You could start here…

On the last few installs I did for a customer, on the first login l, Windows asked whether I would use files locally or use the cloud. Choosing the former doesnct put your Documents an old such stuff in OneDrive. Maybe that’s a Europe thing though…

I also don’t use OneDrive, but instead synchronize everything on my Windows and Linux devices with Synology Drive.
