@alxd
.... I've never understood the problem.

If you have wired headphones, just use a high quality usb-c dongle, you have a cable with you anyway. is the dongle really going to make that much of a difference?

The reality is that 95% of people have switched to using wireless headphones or earbuds instead

@codekoan Also people demand devices not only because they like and hate avoidable but most people in the can't even afford a surprise $400 expense.

So it makes total sense to choose something cheaper that if it breaks can be repaired cost-effectively - like a @Fairphone ...

but I love my

@faiz I got a desktop thrown out by a closing charity. It is probably 8 years old. Runs or fine and it's our family TV basically. I got a laptop thrown out as scrap (because: will make that happen) and it is still going 10, 12 yrs old, with just a new SSD (and ofc). My daily laptop (I'm a dev) is a but with less specs than the one you're moving on from. Had to buy when my dell xps (never buy these!) died and they didn't do parts (less than 5 years after sale - boo). Have already used its feature thanks to clumsy orange juice drinking!

Framework produces laptops that are , easily and . Just imagine: you can even decide on which side the charging port should go - just by switching out a module. Crazy I know.

With their new model, they are also partnering with .

If I need to buy a new laptop, this one will definitely be it.

Is there some reason why the most and phones are only available in Europe?

Do they think no-one values those things in the US or are there market barriers to

We live in a and making shit last less and be less is more harmful than the than if we'd remove all around the globe.

Does anyone have recent experience with the laptop?

I am thinking hard about ordering the 13 2023 AMD version.

I have been buying Thinkpads since the Beginning of Time at least in part due to their amazing field repairability.

Maybe time to change...

@Soblow maybe look on for a teardown & reassembly guide?

Granted, I'm used to machines like |s where the manufacturer expects technicians on-staff / on-site to be able to do things like "swap the cooling assembly"...

Brilliant! What's weirdest is that it should have been like that all along - first electronic devices were _repairable_ 🤦‍♀️
