Framework Laptop Community

That's 4k.

If you want it cheap you can get a usb-c hub on aliexpress for $10-$20. I have one and it works great.

Look for one that says it supports 4k 60hz on HDMI.

SatyrSack , in Linux Mint (LMDE 6) drivers for Framework 16?

Are you using fractional scaling? I had similar issues with LMDE (not with Brave, though), and switching to 200% solved it.

TheButtonJustSpins OP ,

No fractional scaling.

While I like what framework is doing, given that Linus Sebastian is a investor of the company, I don't think I can support them.

At least not until the sexual harassment investigation that he promised would be released is finally released and shows no wrongdoing. Although I suspect it was a line it's never going to get released.

I think he invested $250k, which my gut says is a very small part of what the company got?

Don't buy a computer if you don't need it obviously, but consider that other companies likely have bad/harmful investors too. Bad people benefiting from a good thing isn't a reason to hate on the good thing

This might change if he owned a more significant part of the company

silliewous ,

So what you’re saying is that you’ll never buy anything anymore? Every company has shit investors. Your actual reason is probably more like “It’s too expensive and don’t actually care enough for what they stand for”

And if you knew what other investors of other companies did... cough

It's very expensive to have all the features for every port.

@LodeMike @SatyrSack not when it's the only port (cries in oversized phones)

festus , in Expansion Cardslot compatibility - Not all Framework 16 ports are created equal

The AMD Framework 13 has similar limitations with its 4 ports too.

DavidGarcia , in Expansion Cardslot compatibility - Not all Framework 16 ports are created equal

I wonder what this "Higher Power Consumption" means and why that is. Higher than USB-4 or higher than other USB-A slots? I would except a USB-A slot to not use more power than a USB-4 slot.

lwe ,

If I remember correctly due the chip behind those two Usb-c ports the usb-a adapter in those two slots will consume more power than in the others.
Others might know more.

oo1 ,

is the usb A high power still limited to 5V?
This means it'd need high current ratings (and heat dissipation) to deliver higher power at that voltage.

compare to say usb-C that can negotiate up to something like 20V, if all links allow it.
this means your usb-c can offer higher power with lower current rated components..

For basic solidstate power supply doubling the V ratings from say 6V to 12V will likely be cheaper than doubling Amp ratings from say 3A to 6A.
but for sure in a laptop managing the heat will be a consideration.

Maybe theres a version of USBA that can use the data lines to negotiate power - in which case this would be non-standard.

They should just state peak and continuous V, A and W for each port, and also for the set of ports as a whole. maybe in different input/battery scenarios. I assume a third party, or home gamer could create their own plug in module to do whatver, but it'd be helpful for them to know the electrical ratings.

jo3shmoo ,

IIRC There's an issue with the retiming chips that retransmit the USB4 signals over to the A style and how they're able to interact with the rest of the system. It causes the chips to stay awake and waste energy. The same issue is present on the AMD 13 framework; something to do with the AMD USB4 implementation. The 3.2 ports don't have the same issue.

Basically the port will still work in that configuration but the battery life will suffer.

velox_vulnus , in How easy is it to run stable diffusion on framework’s amd graphics card?
@velox_vulnus@lemmy.ml avatar

It won't run. Don't try to damage your laptop. This should be done on a desktop or a server in the first place.

s12 OP ,
@s12@sopuli.xyz avatar

I don’t have the space for a desktop/server yet, hence I’m considering a graphics card laptop.
What do you mean by “ It won’t run. Don’t try to damage your laptop.”? What road-block prevents it from running? Why would it cause damage?

    lol they're probably just the ones who actually make good faith efforts to notify people.

    Though sending a spreadsheet of names to a phishing email is truly fucking stupid beyond belief.

    OsrsNeedsF2P OP , in Put it off too long. Here's to my final laptop purchase 🍻

    Here's what I got and why:

    CPU: Ryzen™ 7 7840HS - I could have gotten the more expensive one, but based on the Framework forums, they seem identical. If I want a better CPU later, I'll buy one that actually has a performance boost

    RAM: DDR5-5600 - 32GB (2 x 16GB) - I don't need 64GB (current system is 32GB and never had any issues). Also heard that more RAM = more time to go to sleep and wake up. Reason I went for two, 16GB sticks instead of one 32GB stick is in my mind - 2 RAM sticks can send memory faster than 1 stick, ya? (Who knows, but yolo)

    Storage: WD_BLACK™ SN850X NVMe™- M.2 2280 - 2TB - I'm perpetually at 1TB on my current laptop, so 2TB sounds good. I cba to deal with a secondary drive

    Expansion Bay Module: Graphics Module (AMD Radeon™ RX 7700S) - Nobrainer, let's play some games!

    Expansion Cards: DisplayPort (2nd Gen) - 🖕 HDMI. 3 x USB-A so I can plug in mouse/keyboard/headphones. 2 x USB-C so I can plug in a charger and future-proof for the world of USB-C dominance

    socialpankakemix , in First Framework Laptop 16 shipments and a $499 Framework Laptop

    Each laptop is pre-packaged with a Framework screwdriver only. Memory, storage, WiFi, Power Adapter, Operating System, and Expansion Cards are not included. You can bring your own or pick them up in the Framework Marketplace.

    so it's not "really" under 500. still a good deal I might buy if I had the cash.

    What have you done‽ I didn't realize it until now. How do I unsee this?
