That's good, they might have improved. Mine didn't last a year, but I think it was an earlier version.

It was a few years ago so I can't really comment on newer versions. But I recall the plastic bottom coming away from the top more and more over time. They don't manufacture their own laptops, so they are kinda stuck relying on a third party. (Clevo, I think.)

I had a galago pro and it was not well built. It fell apart faster than any other laptop I've used.

Framework hasn't done that yet. They have an event in 3 days and a lot of people seem to be thirsting for a Strix Halo main board, though.

 

I have recently started getting into film photography and I'm still learning the ropes. After buying a variety of color and black and white films to experiment with, I noticed that I somehow accidentally bought a couple of rolls of very high speed Ilford Delta ISO 3200 film. At this point, all I have is a Kodak Ektar H35N and an Olympus Pen-EES 2 which has a max ISO of 400. Is the Ilford film useless to me, or can it be used at lower speeds in certain conditions?

EDIT: This is tangential, but I was originally going to ask this question on Reddit instead of Lemmy because the conventional wisdom is that Lemmy isn't useful yet for more niche topics, but I thought "why not try Lemmy first anyway," and I'm glad I did. I found the most active film photography community on Lemmyverse.net (which hadn't yet even federated to my small instance) and it paid off. How nice!

It's trivial to enable flathub, so it's not meaningfully reducing the availability of software. It's just a default.

Probably even worse than that.

This has less RAM, but it's the same CPU. You can see it's consistently 3 to 4 times slower than a Raspberry Pi 4! They are not joking about this not being for general use.

A Dev board like this is pretty cool, though. It could help pave the way to a performant board later.

I also wish that was made clear in the text, you're not alone.

Seems like taking a stab at what Mycroft failed to achieve. That's interesting to me.

That Snowden releasing the facts and it being brought up in courts, state congress, and federal congress as well as national news all revolved around it being illegal in the USA.

Did it stop?

I'm posting this comment with it right now. Many graphics on the lemmy ui are not rendering, but it's way better than the last time I tried it about a year ago. So not "ready," but encouraging.

If one is inclined, one can tell oneself that they are a good person and they are making the company better by being there.

Is that really what people use Instagram for?

 

I was made moderator of the /c/TrueAnon on the lemmy.ml instance a while ago, and none of my actions have ever federated to lemmy.ml, so I gave up. Thought I'd try again after this upgrade and still no dice. The response I'm getting back from the API when I try to add my lemmy.ml account to moderator status is "not_a_moderator." Is this a transient federation issue or are there more fixes required for this scenario to work correctly?

 

Looking forward to this machine. The only thing that would preempt my purchasing a Framework 16 might be the System76 Virgo laptop, but that seems to still be in early dev.
