hooray, it's back! thank you @TheKinrar!

1/2 Hah. After asking for photo and video of a broken cooler in my Framework 13, @frameworkcomputer outright refused to send me a warranty replacement part due to my initial order being mailed to a freight forwarder to Armenia (haha, AM soon?)

I would've understood that coming from the likes of Dell, or Lenovo — you are not legally obliged to follow through on warranty. And I do get that you want to discourage associating bad forwarding experiences with your company.

«oh my, isn't it a centralized platform everyone never considered as an enemy suddenly screwing it's users over? what a total surprise!» #reddit edition

Yay, did a #Framework HDMI expansion card rework. Side quests come included with a laptop) @frameworkcomputer

My #framework got stuck on 400MHz on all cores for a day or so.

It was actually usable, alas a bit sluggish. Kind of like getting back to my old ES1-111 on N2830 — but with 8x more cores. and 16x more RAM — after all, I've managed to do android programming for 4-ish years on that machine.

I figured out that it was apparently some weird firmware state, which got fixed by board reset.

Well, certainly I do not miss long build times)

LLMs for open hardware anyone?

BTW if anyone experiences problems with OpenKeychain suddenly not working with Pass — check if AEAD is enabled for your GPG key (it shouldn't be). Current version of BouncyCastle embedded in OpenKeychain doesn't support it, and this will leave cryptic messages in the log. Took me several attempts to figure out.

Was just writing a toot, complaining about my Ryzen 1600X weirdly freezing — but accidentally clicked on a toot while typing (thanks not @frameworkcomputer for providing top click locations on the touchpad and good palm rejection on linux) and pressed space, which for some reason confirmed dropping all of the text and replying to an aforementioned clicked toot (thanks not #mastodon

Just got the best electric screwdriver I've owned so far: Dnipro M CSD-36X. That sucker has torque for days, is freaking fast, is tiny, and charges through Type-C!
And it's designed in Ukraine.
Wow.

TIL you can shift-click links instead of middle-clicking

Turns out, in `find`, `-size 12b` means 512*12 bytes. For bytes use `12c` instead.
