Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
It doesn’t have to be me making the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So how’s it going?
you're not tempted to take the old mobo and chuck it in a 3d printed case for a thin desktop / lab PC?
I am very tempted, probably to use as a server to replace my Raspberry Pi, but then what do I do with the rest of it? No one wants to buy a laptop with no guts.
Do Framework have a used spares program marketplace or anything like that? I'd have thought there'd be folks keen if they had failing parts and wanted cheaper replacements. Though because you're on early possibly everybody else would be doing the same thing - taking the mobo and being left with spare display/keyboard etc.
Nah not that you can sell your stuff on. And anyway, Framework don't officially support NZ. If they did there might be more demand for the parts.
But if I took out the mainboard and sold the rest, someone could buy a mainboard/RAM, and have a laptop. But it's hard work getting one here, so I might as well just give them mine. Easier to find a buyer, easier for the buyer who can just start using it.
I might just have to wait until I'm upgrading the mainboard in the 15 inch one before I get my nice server.
