Questions regarding Framework 13 Ryzen 5 7640U in c/framework@hardware.watch
[–] avu3@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

I also have a M1 MBP 14"
MPB wins for touchpad and battery life, hands down. I really wish a bigger touchpad was available (space would be an issue).

Keyboard is really, really close. MBP by a slim margin. but this is the nicest kb on a win laptop I've used.
Screen quality is a draw.

FW wins for upgrade/support, flexibility of ports, running Win/Linux. And weight, it weights a lot less.

​

I don't worry about fixing a Mac. My 2012 Retina is still going. Battery needs replaced, but everything else works. Wish I could get a newer OS on it, but otherwise its still a great machine.

FW 13 AMD 7840u w/OBS Studio (primarily Windows) (alien.top)
 

Is anyone running OBS Studio with an AMD 7840u? I'm unable to get it to work with either Windows or Fedora.

The current production (29) crashed immediately when starting a recording.

30 rc1 / rc2 will record short clips, but report "encoding overload" Anything over about 1 minute OBS will refuse to stop, crash, or blue screen the machine.

Its the same on bios 3.0.3 and the latest driver update.

Fedora 39 doesn't work, either. It errors saying no encoder, even when selected. But I primarily need it to work in Windows. I use it just about daily to record videos for work.

I've been running OBS for years on various Intel and macOS M1/M2. Never had issues like this before. I assume its video driver related.

Framework Laptop 13 (AMD) Only Charging With Framework Charger in c/framework@hardware.watch

I was able to charge with a 30w apple charger before I installed the nvme.

After I installed the disk (os, etc), the led on the side just flashed on the 30w and it does not charge. A 65w charges fine.

BIOS Update questions in c/framework@hardware.watch
[–] avu3@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

bios updating the hba (array controller) on your primary sql server during a 30 min maintenance window at 2am is still a bit never wracking.

But yeah, pushing out bios updates to desktops/laptops has become a near-non issue. That combined with the decline in device cost and the rise in backup and cloud-based apps make replacing a died-during-update machine a lot less onerous.
