morhp , to Technology in The Framework Laptop 13 is about to become one of the world’s first RISC-V laptops

It would be obviously "an issue" and drastically reduce performance in many cases, but compared to the buildin igpu, you'd probably still be able to get a much better performance for lots of applications.

Seriously: the GeForce GT 520M, launched January 2011, wants a full PCIe 2.0 x16 interface. Same with the Raedeon HD 6330M. You could probably get away with just 8 lanes if you had to, but not only one.

Connecting a GPU with just one PCIe lane isn't the biggest problem. You'll just slow down data exchange between the CPU and GPU (mostly loading textures and vertex positions).

If your game mostly relies on shaders and renders lots of rather static stuff, you'll mostly just get longer loading times but FPS shouldn't suffer too much.

That doesn't bother me too much.

With the CPU being that slow, I don't think you'll really need a proper SSD. (And the CPU doesn't have the required PCIe interfaces anyway).

They probably could've added socketed RAM, but based on the photo, the main board looks quite full and messy with random chips (likely needed to work around CPU limitations), so it probably wasn't a high priority.

I'm interested in the cooling requirements and battery life.

I'm not interested in ARM CPUs with all their weird proprietary stuff.

The GPU inside the processor/soc has the following specifications:

  • Imagination BXE-4-32 GPU with support for OpenCL 1.2, OpenGL ES 3.2, Vulkan 1.2
  • Video Decoder – H.265, H.264 4K @ 60fps or 1080p @ 30fps, MJPEG
  • Video Encoder – H.265/HEVC Encoder, 1080p @ 30fps

I don't think you'll be able to use a separate/external GPU with it. Thunderbolt support is highly unlikely and that processor has only 1 or 2 PCIe lanes (depending how USB is connected), which is likely already used for WiFi.

They have, the hinges of my Framework 13 AMD model from September 2023 are completely fine.

Signing up allows you to store your measurements and patterns, but you don't have to.

Transferring the whole account after you die is what this post is about.

morhp , to Autism in Please, I'm new here: Is this normal?

I have no idea what your post was about, or why it would be related to autism. If I were a moderator, I'd probably also flag it or at least asked about it.

I have no idea who or what Tull is and the rest sounds like some rambling about AI. Some context might help.

morhp , to World News in Russia must pay for Ukraine rebuild, Blinken says

After WW2 it was more like they split Germany into parts and "occupied" the remaining industry and workforce for reparations. There wasn't much of the original Reich left that could've paid reparations.

morhp , to Programmer Humor in Companies are not your friend

The basic software like the Intellij Community Edition is also fully open source. (And it's not actually basic at all. It's a great full featured IDE)

Basically you're only paying for their support/updates and for specific language and toolkit support, which makes sense to me. They need to pay their staff somehow.

It's not comparable to Adobe or other crappy manufacturers where you own nothing.

morhp , (edited ) to Ask Lemmy in Which languages do you speak?

German, English and enough French to greet someone or order a baguette. I can also understand some Dutch (both written and verbal), but I don't really speak it.
