DIY tinkerer invents MacBook tool that breaks Apple’s repair locks::“To whoever it is at Apple who decided to not make this available to technicians, ‘Fuck you, we win.’”
Also the current Linux offerings for Apple Silicon (M1/M2) are very much “Beta”. And have some serious battery efficiency issues, don’t currently support audio drivers, have some peripheral problems, etc.
Looking forward to using one once they get them up to speed though.
True, true. I dont know about you guys, but I am not having a lot of fun buying and building computers lately. Shit like this headline doesnt help.
The Framework laptop brand gives me hope.
Unfortunately they still seem have a relatively high cost for their performance. But you can’t beat the modular design.
I’d say in this case the premium is justified and worth it if you can afford it. You’re getting a top of the line, repairable & upgradeable, Linux friendly, esthetically pleasing laptop with excellent documentation, filling a void that simply wasn’t there just a few short years ago. Also, if they reach critical mass and adoption, prices might come down.
