Framework for one, but just about any other computer maker is better by that metric.

Such idiot, very blocked, wow.

Keep apologizing for Tim Apple! 🍏🍎

The turd was just the icing on top of the shit cake dude. They gave that jack off millions of dollars.

I’ve had a solid chuckle seeing that shit, and my opinion of Apple hadn’t moved.

Welp, then I guess you’re the type of customer they fully deserve.

I’m happy to pay my California taxes.

Same

I prefer my to buy computers from companies that aren’t actively combating repairability efforts for their products and purposefully making them prematurely obsolete.

It’s funny to find that Wintoys is still kicking around.

I was kinda anti tax evasion (even legal tax evasion) prior to the second Trump admin. Nowadays, I’m in support of everyone doing their best to send as little money to the federal government as possible.

I don’t think anything this dude is doing is legal or constitutional. But since the supreme court and congress has let him do it, that doesn’t really matter in reality.

Along similar lines, I always noticed how we have a vigorous debate about tax rates but nobody ever seems to discuss the benefits you receive for them. The tax rate isn’t going down to zero for working people ever. As long as we have to pay, surely we should get something in return.

Gotcha, well best of luck to you

You could go used framework as well if any of those exist. You’d have to buy from eBay or something in order to satisfy your position.

I’d recommend the 13 over the 16.

Yeah they probably fed it a bunch of legitimate on/off content as well as stuff from people who used to do make “nudes” from celebrity photos with sheer / skimpy outfits as a creepy hobby.

Yeah, the whole situation sucks. I totally agree and wish that framework would reconsider their position on the matter.

The country is basically unrecognizable at this point IMO. The capitulation that has occurred so quickly in the second Trump term was stunning to behold. For a vast array of industries (computers being one of them), every reasonably ethical option feels like it flew out the window.

I get it, but also if I stopped buying everything from every racist / racist supporter, I would have no real options for laptops generally speaking.

Michael Dell is a complete and total Trump supporter. Should I buy an XPS?

Tim Cook designed and delivered a custom award to Trump. Knowing this, should I buy an Apple?

I understand wanting to vote with your dollars but in practice there are few or no ethical options for many things that you can buy.

Eh, I get it, but you can’t win every battle.

I have a 16 and a 13. I bought them both before that thread.

Right but who has like three grand just sitting in a checking account, that shit in a savings account because I’m not Bill Gates and I need every penny I can get from the interest?

Dude use a credit card.

That sucks. I’ve also had mixed experiences with their support arm but the hardware and designs are pretty top notch. It really is nice to buy a laptop that isn’t inevitably headed for the landfill in five years.

Framework 13 all the way

Between this and what they’ve done to Windows they’re proving daily that you can shit exactly where you eat when you’re a tech monopoly.
