1. Tell them the part was broken. 2. Send them a photo of the broken part and serial number at their request. 3. The replacement was on its way.
Perhaps they're a bit miserly with more expensive components like the mainboard.
That being said, I've had my Framework 13 for just over a year now and it's a fantastic computer, none of the compromises affect me much, although I could believe that they could affect other peoples' workflows. For reference I'd previously used a 16-inch 2018 MacBook Pro for work and it was an absolute piece of shit compared to the Framework (I now have the 2022 M1 Max 16 inch MacBook Pro for work and it's in a league of its own tbh).
And honestly, everything's keybound in PyCharm so if you're someone who tries to optimise your editor usage you probably weren't clicking icons anyway.

If you haven't seen the technical difficulties that crossrail has run in to then you haven't been paying attention. They've been talking for years about how complex it has been to integrate the 3 signalling systems in use at various points on the line, so I'm not surprised they want a human in the loop in case one of them gets a bit wonky.
Not sure what this means, Tailscale is free for the vast majority of non-corporate users, and I would imagine that anyone who's using it so intensely that they need the "personal pro" plan is probably someone techie enough to dig around and find out about headscale.
Also headscale isn't entirely free if you're paying for a VPS or other server to host it on.
