Just curious. Proton takes all of that effort out of the equation, plus I'm willing to bet there aren't as many driver problems, if there are any at all.

Because cars are a useful tool made up of physical parts that can wear out, while games are an entertainment product made of ever-changing software. You need a car. You don't need video games.

Not to mention, it's a standard now, and the old Supercharger protocol is being phased out in favor of another standardized one (I forget which). Further development done on their chargers from here on out is going to be done by a consortium of companies rather than in-house anyway.

Discrete video or no. That’s also fine, but a lot of vendors provide this option.

Yeah, but not as a user-serviceable module that can be replaced with minimal effort. I think you're grossly oversimplifying this point.

Are you on Windows or Linux on the 16?

Apple doesn't provide board-level schematics so that anyone with a good supplier and a steady hand with a soldering iron can fix their motherboard, though. You also can't replace parts nearly as easily, even on older MacBooks. Swappable ports also help, so that if HDMI or displayport get replaced you can change to the new standard.

Accessing the RAM, wifi, and SSD are only 5 screws away, and they give you a screwdriver in the package.

Basically, Framework has provided so much information that you could practically build one from scratch yourself with enough determination and self-loathing.

Somebody needs to get on deduplicating UTF8 ASAP

I'm fairly confident that it's a change in Flatpak itself rather than any one specific Flatpak, since all of my apps now use the same new screen sharing interface. Difference is that it actually works in those apps.

Screen sharing with Discord no longer works, but I think that's from an update to Flatpak because it was also happening at the end of 39's lifecycle.

It's the final laptop in the same way that Theseus's boat was the last one he ever bought. You can replace bits piecemeal, but at some point you'll end up with enough leftovers for a whole new laptop.

That said, I have an Intel one and it's a fantastic laptop. Also, not only are the motherboards capable of running on their own outside the laptop, but they've partnered with Cooler Master to make little cases for them so you can turn old mobos into mini PCs.

That's reasonable. I pulled that info from Wikipedia, and I don't speak Japanese, so I just was going off that.

That's great and all, but for those of us that do speak English and are expecting certain grammatical norms, eschewing those norms, regardless of the validity of the reason, makes it significantly harder for us to parse.

The question mark is not a rare piece of punctuation, either. It's used in China. It's used in Japan. It's used in Vietnamese, every Romance language I've ever encountered, and every Germanic language I've ever encountered. I'm not saying I understand all those languages, but I can certainly recognize when someone's asking a question in one because the question mark remains the same.

This is a piss-poor excuse and reeks of the attitude of one who's never encountered a language that doesn't use the Latin Alphabet even in passing. Oh yeah, by the way, it's called the Latin Alphabet, not the English Alphabet.
