There’s a difference between ‘repairable’ and ‘upgradable.’ Most of the comments seem to conflate the two. Lenovo isn’t doing a Framework.

It’s a smart move. Differentiates them from other laptop-makers for corporate IT, who can do the parts swaps themselves. Also smart is associating the brand with iFixit and working to get a 10/10. That’ll be what sets them apart from all the others, at least for the next year or two.

Ah, pregnancy… when internal organs migrate to the arms.

Obligatory Firefly mention.

Was self-hosting gitlab or foregejo not an option?

How many of these are SmallSats and CubeSats?

There are high schools and colleges lobbing these into space.

At some point, some DIY person will come up with a way to disable these things in their presence.

And they will make bank.

644 miles means you could make it from Boston to Pittsburgh, San Francisco to San Diego, or London to Hanover with one charge… and plenty left over.

😔

MCPs could learn a thing or two from the failures of ActiveX.

Will they?

No…

Web4? Seriously?

Next time it happens, hardware stores sell all the parts to make custom-size frames and screens. Waaay cheaper than pre-fab ones.

Made new ones for our house when we first moved in. Easy DIY project, and so very satisfying.

When we lived in a big city, we would hit the occasional Costco sale, then go out and hand out blankets, tents, tarps, water, socks, and warm clothing. Also, toys and school supplies.

In a smaller city, donations to the local food and housing groups, school fundraisers to help cover costs for books and supplies for those who can’t afford it, and refilling the neighborhood open-access fridge.

Basic responsibility to pay it forward.

There’s a reason that sign is there.

These are all the Least Worst solutions. I humbly disagree.

Enough to make a trebuchet.

Like RAM, CSS color prices have gone through the roof.

When LLMs first came out, I asked them a few fun logic puzzles. The kind that Martin Gardner used to publish in Scientific American.

Got total gibberish answers. A while later, tried again. This time, perfect word-for-word responses. Had LLMs become sentient and developed logic? Turned out they had found all the old Scientific American back issues to train on.

Guessing the same is going on with the carwash question. The more posts come out about it, the more likely the LLM responses will get closer to published answers.

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Question is, how long before it makes it to the next DGX Spark? Some people don’t have $10B to burn.

370 BC?

The beards need to be way more fierce.
