I have a framework laptop. The Wi-Fi chip is its own module on an M.2 slot. LTE modules in this form factor already exist.

I use Linux. Can someone explain this meme to me?

One thing about having a computer on a mobile connection that’s not as great as you might think: it’s easy for something like a software update to blow through a ton of data and cost a lot of money.

There are different cellular networks and frequencies in different places so computer manufacturers can’t pick one module and expect it to work everywhere. If you’re paying for service, you’ll want to get the most out of it by having a modem that’s up to date and maximally compatible with the network. So it makes sense to get a plugin device or a WiFi mobile hotspot from your carrier. A WiFi mobile hotspot can additionally be used with other devices.

Also mobile network hardware updates at a decent pace so it’s nice to be able to update those single purpose devices at their own pace independent of your laptop upgrade.

And then carrier and FCC certification are an extra hassle for laptop makers.

If it’s trying to figure out if you’re watching Stranger Things it can look for when your stationary at home and just needs to record a few seconds at a time every few minutes. I don’t know how the fingerprinting works. It might be able to run locally and not use a ton of power. We’re talking Shazam, not full text transcription.

Can we talk about how screwed up that streak notification is? Let’s encourage people who show signs of unhealthy usage of the platform to further their addiction?

This. Use bullets or bold each question so the number of questions is clear before each question is fully read.

Chesterton’s fence is a warning not to commit this logical error: I don’t know what this fence is for, therefore I know there is no reason for it.

It doesn’t say never to remove it. It means you should try and figure out why it’s there and ask around before removing it.

Other than the necessities, the one app I allow notifications for is the C-SPAN app. They send maybe 1 notification a week for something like a live presidential address on a news event.

Anything that might create excessive notifications (social media/news) I use as a web app on top of not enabling notifications.

Only texts and calls are audible notifications. Everything else is slient.

I hope they used the official Apple cleaning cloth that’s certified compatible with that model of MacBook
