still only 4 ports thou
That's hot af
In case you're not aware, that's a Framework laptop.
One more reason for me to get one. Dammit.
Is it still owned by LTT? I don't particularly like this LTT though.
Owned? The kid just bought stock.
Yup. If you limited your purchases to companies not partly owned by people you don't like, you couldn't buy from any public company and would have a very small selection from private companies.
Buy products that make sense, screw whoever else invests in it.
Nowhere near owned. LTT made a small investment.
Okay good.
I'll be in my bunk.
I will always upvote a relevant Firefly reference.
yea this is the way. is only they had more high end components
That's the way to do it. I just wish Framework had a better selection of modules available and had more module bays on their laptops.
Is a dongle that doesn’t dangle even really a dongle at all?
Doubtful.
I just wish the existing dongles had a bit more density to them. That's a lot of space for a micro-SD slot, they totally could have fit a full SD card in there as well, and perhaps even a micro-USB or headphone jack.
I like being able to swap them, but each USB-C port can handle a lot more than a single-use dongle.
What module would you like to have.
I would like RS-232 and RS-485 modules and a full size SD card reader would be nice too. It's probably something I would end up building myself if I get a Framework laptop.
Edit: It looks like they have an SD card module now, nice.
I 3d printed a dongle that has a Logitech receiver in it. All their design files are online, so you can make your own pretty easily.
Oh, damn, that's a game changing idea there.
What would you do with RS-232 and RS-485?
Hook up my US Robotics 56k modem and dial up to the internet, where I can chat with hot babes

After your training to become a cage fighter, I presume?
Time travel
UART consoles and model train control systems come to mind.
I have a 485 adapter in my bag for BACnet and Modbus communications.
And what the hell, add RS-422 while you're at it. And a parallel port! And the left side expansion port they used to have on the Amiga 500 and 1000!
And some ISDN BRI ports. And ATM and FDDI. And something I can do X.25 over. Oh, and Token Ring.
-485 is superior. Everyone knows it
ok but where's the pcmcia slot! /sees myself out
It's SDCARD since like 1999. Sheesh, get current mate! 🤣
Framework users: "Yeah, but my USB-C ports are recessed!"
Eh, I'd much rather have a USB-C dongle built-in to the laptop than in a separate bag that I'm definitely going to lose.
I have a framework, and while this system is pretty cool, I don't change the cards often and I only have 4 cards. I'd rather have some more built-in ports too.
I don't change them ever. But I have the exact set of ports I need now
Love mine.
Oh my god
Framework baby!!!
What a waste of chassis space.
Yeah, I wish they had 2 dedicated USB-C ports (one on each side) and had the four swappable bays. The RJ-45 port also look really dumb, I think they could have done something a bit more clever there.
This is the way
