Wow is that firewire? Haven’t seen that in a while
we need 7 firewire ports and micro dvi ports with 1 mini usb
It looks like you’re just a dumb follower.
Nobody took anything FROM you. You’re just a blind consumer, fool.
Careful not to cut yourself on that edge
Love mine.
What a waste of chassis space.
Yeah, I wish they had 2 dedicated USB-C ports (one on each side) and had the four swappable bays. The RJ-45 port also look really dumb, I think they could have done something a bit more clever there.
That’s hot af
In case you’re not aware, that’s a Framework laptop.
One more reason for me to get one. Dammit.
Is it still owned by LTT? I don’t particularly like this LTT though.
Nowhere near owned. LTT made a small investment.
Owned? The kid just bought stock.
Yup. If you limited your purchases to companies not partly owned by people you don’t like, you couldn’t buy from any public company and would have a very small selection from private companies.
Buy products that make sense, screw whoever else invests in it.
I’ll be in my bunk.
I will always upvote a relevant Firefly reference.
Framework baby!!!
ok but where’s the pcmcia slot! /sees myself out
It’s SDCARD since like 1999. Sheesh, get current mate! 🤣
This is the way
That’s the way to do it. I just wish Framework had a better selection of modules available and had more module bays on their laptops.
Is a dongle that doesn’t dangle even really a dongle at all?
no body shaming please
Doubtful.
I just wish the existing dongles had a bit more density to them. That’s a lot of space for a micro-SD slot, they totally could have fit a full SD card in there as well, and perhaps even a micro-USB or headphone jack.
I like being able to swap them, but each USB-C port can handle a lot more than a single-use dongle.
Right?! If you’re going through the all trouble of mass producing the modules, etc., make them worth it. As it is, it’s a bunch of expensive squares.
Why are the modules so wide?
I guess they have to be the same, so they all have to be the maximum width of anything you might want to put in there.
What module would you like to have.
I would like RS-232 and RS-485 modules and a full size SD card reader would be nice too. It’s probably something I would end up building myself if I get a Framework laptop.
Edit: It looks like they have an SD card module now, nice.
I 3d printed a dongle that has a Logitech receiver in it. All their design files are online, so you can make your own pretty easily.
Oh, damn, that’s a game changing idea there.
What would you do with RS-232 and RS-485?
And what the hell, add RS-422 while you’re at it. And a parallel port! And the left side expansion port they used to have on the Amiga 500 and 1000!
And some ISDN BRI ports. And ATM and FDDI. And something I can do X.25 over. Oh, and Token Ring.

I have a 485 adapter in my bag for BACnet and Modbus communications.

Eh, I’d much rather have a USB-C dongle built-in to the laptop than in a separate bag that I’m definitely going to lose.
That also means we can still use the expansion cards for the Framework in any other device that also has a USB-C port. Need an SD card reader or a 2.5Gb LAN adapter? Not a problem, I’ll just grab one from my laptop.
Oh my god
I have a framework, and while this system is pretty cool, I don’t change the cards often and I only have 4 cards. I’d rather have some more built-in ports too.
That’s one of the cool things about the framework, though, just the fact that you can, because I swap my ports all the time. I use it to game on my big TV at home, but I almost never need an HDMI port on the go, so I pop it out and pop in another USB-C or something.
I don’t change them ever. But I have the exact set of ports I need now
I miss having a thousand different cables to keep track of /s
really, all we need is the companies to start packing those laptops with thunderbolt3 or equivalent USB-C (USB 4). I love the old ports, but they were unnecessary. I’d rather the industry finally takes on the open thunderbolt standard and we’re all good to go. With 10 thunderbolt ports you have 10 HDMI, or 10 USB, or 10 Ethernet, or 10 headphone jacks, or 10 RJ45 or whatever you need + PCIe tunneling.
Most things are wireless these days. I only actively use two ports: one for monitor + charging, and another for the second monitor. Mouse, keyboard and headphones are via Bluetooth.
For me the top one works fine for my day to day use. And it takes up less space in my backpack.
Wireless means you have to deal with batteries. I’d rather plug stuff in and never worry about it.
I like being free of wires on my desk. Having to replace batteries of my mouse and keyboard once every 6 months is a price I’m willing to pay.
Fuck firewire. Glad it’s dead. USB C is the best thing to happen to peripherals since the mouse.
Useless old school holes? I am glad they did.
The pursuit of the “perfect body.”
USB-C does a lot of heavy lifting. Also, MagSafe™ is still there. A little surprised there is also a SD card slot. And a HDMI port. Not complaining about their inclusion, and I do use them regularly, but why did the dongle company give these to us?
WTF is this boomer facebook post shit?
Buy dongles and splitter dongles.
Meh… Did they really? Or do you just choose the worst?
well… the new one has gained some ports back, also usb c is absolutely OP (if you have the money for the Accessories lel)
Back pain?
