Dang, that lid flex sure is something.

Six months later, with a new unit and new firmware, I’m feeling a bit better! Not good enough to give it my full recommendation, but enough to raise its score to 6 out of 10, which we define as: “Good. There are issues but also redeeming qualities.” But while the laptop’s more stable, most of my other annoyances are still kicking.

Mr_Dr_Oink , in Dr. Disrespect's YouTube Channel Demonetized After He Admits to 'Inappropriate' Chat With Minor

I've always been aware of this guy, but never watched him. He always seemed like an old guy acting like a young guy. Gave me bad vibes. I wouldn't have guessed this at all. And im not just saying it becuase all this has come out. Ive voiced this opinion many times over the years. He gives of creepy vibes.

xad , (edited ) in Shopping app Temu is “dangerous malware,” spying on your texts, lawsuit claims

I hate Temu, but this (apparently contracted?) Grizzly Reports report isn't really all that trust inspiring, tbh.

Our experts identified a stack of software functions that are completely inappropriate to and dangerous

The stack difference to the Amazon app they list:

  • Package compile
  • Requesting system logs
  • Some code obfuscation
  • Mac address collection
  • Install permission
  • Wake lock

Meh. That's just a sliver worse than your regular, off the shelves proprietary corporate app. I don't see how they can pull off the promise of being a truly dynamic Android app from that report.

I do believe they hover up data, but they aren't otherworldly super hackers. They will probably just ask for the data and the users will hand it over in a second. For most people, it really is that simple.

Great thing, but bro please be a country against chat-control

This is the best summary I could come up with:


You can transform it from a sleek work laptop to a decent gaming machine in two minutes flat, one which charges with the world’s first 180W USB-C power adapter.

The product gave me multiple Blue Screens of Death, glitched, felt flimsy in places, and ran hotter and louder than its performance would suggest.

I’m happy to say I’ve only seen the computer fail once during that entire month — an “It looks like Windows didn’t load correctly” error I haven’t been able to reproduce.

We even figured out my mystery issue where the excellent 2560 x 1600 screen would suddenly seem to wash out — that’s due to AMD’s Vari-Bright setting, which attempts to save battery when the integrated GPU is in command.

Despite this replacement coming with a slightly weaker 7840HS, I’ve measured 100.8°C at peak while playing a game — and as high as 92.5°C one day when I was just writing a story in a web browser.

After a month, I’ve decided I could live with the lid flex and the uneven surfaces created by Framework’s modular spacers and touchpad.


The original article contains 931 words, the summary contains 183 words. Saved 80%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

About damn time.

daqu , in TeamViewer links corporate cyberattack to Russian state hackers

It's always interesting to see how fast they can attribute the attack to russian hackers. Good for them, less embarassing than being hacked by 16 year old anime fans that want to watch next weeks episode today.

rottingleaf , in Bill Gates says not to worry about AI's energy draw

Another attempt to approach king Midas' powers by turning matter into shit, because apparently if we can turn it into shit, then eventually we'll learn to turn it into gold.

It's amazingly stupid. Among other things because it's been described by Lem in either "Summa Technologiae" or "Megabit Bomb", I don't remember which. Possibly both.

But one doesn't have to read Lem for the concept of entropy.

It just feels so boring. People with power showing with all their herd that they don't deserve that power, because they don't understand simple concepts.

As he counts his money.

masquenox , in Bill Gates says not to worry about AI's energy draw

Of all the celebrity billionaire parasites this one is the one I hate the most. At least Elon and Bezos has the decency to show us what scumbags they are... they don't call Gates "No.1 Sugar Daddy To The PR industry" for nothing.
