I’m not in the target market and from the outside, I’m seeing a community of people that will never be happy with any product that exists and complain loudly about it.
It seems like the only way to win is not to play. :(
Edit: To be clear, I want Framework to succeed. I’ll probably end up with one at some point.
Sometimes there is no conspiracy to rip off all ten people off who want to repair their board. Like they’re going to spend any time figuring out how to make an extra $3k. They might just be trying to keep their IP and stay around long enough to make good on the things they did promise: modular hardware.
This applies to the majority of people commenting about such things here on HN. To them everything is easy, manufacturers are just greedy, idiots, or both.
It’s possible, even likely that a company that fully embraces the purist perspective on right to repair isn’t viable due to a variety of constraints.
