insanely hostile response to something like this. they attempted to have these parts replaceable, AMD physically couldn't do it. they've still made it as repairable as possible, and will without a doubt be more repairable than similar devices using this chipset. fucking relax, being reactionary without being informed is dumb.
It's a desktop, they're repairable unless you solder something in.
They could've gone with any other chipset, making the whole thing irrelevant to begin with, but they couldn't please the AI crowd that way.
By similar devices I obviously mean ITX PCs with similar chipsets. The average PC isn't giving you 128GB of VRAM for $2k.
Local AI is a difficult thing to do right now, making a product to allow people to use AI without giving up their privacy is great.
We need to stop bending over backwards to lower our standards for the people making money off of us.
Have higher standards.
Don't be a useful idiot.
You need to get a grip. Framework is a private company that has done very well by its customers and supporters so far. Stop being so fucking negative.
Oof, found the proud consumer.
They always get upset when you point out how they're being taken advantage of.
They can never willingly take a bad deal, right? 😉
you seriously have issues. and you're a dick on top of that.
you're either a troll or just a shitty person.
Wow, calm down.
This is how you react when people say we should have higher standards? I guess you really are insecure about your purchasing habits.
The consumerism runs deep with you. Now you're going to throw a tantrum trying to find ways to defend being taken for a ride 😎
