Same here. Domains are the only thing I can't replicate or make redundant. If there is ANY risk of me getting locked out of my domains without even the possibility of transferring the domain away to another registrar, then I'm gone.

Bye, cloudflare.

Yes, I can read schematics and I have preformed multiple component-level repairs on two of my laptops in the past. Even if I hadn't, this wouldn't discount my argument. The fact that the "average consumer" hasn't wouldn't either.

Repairability and modularity are two distinct concepts. The framework laptop is modular but it is not repairable. At least not any more repairable then my Toshiba or MSI laptops. End of story.

I've done the same multiple times with my trusty Toshiba. Stripped down to the motherboard and back. People seem to over estimate how difficult it is to take a standard laptop apart.

Not everything is as hostile as a macbook.

Do they also make them available to laptop owners under NDA? I don't mind the schematics not being publicly accessible or open, but they should also be available to customers upon entering into NDA.

I want true repairability, and not just modularity.

Edit: Apparently not: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31576321

As it stands, the framework laptop is NOT repairable. I hope they address this problem soon.

> What makes the framework repairable isn't board-level schematics, its the modularity and access (similar to a desktop).

That's just wrong. Modularity and repairability are two very different things. They are not interchangeable.

Do you make full schematics and board views available to laptop owners under similar agreements? This is my main concern.

If I, as the owner of your laptop, can't repair said laptop after a water spill, then I can't call it reparable. Modular, yes. Repairable, NO.

What stops this virus from evolving/mutating to kill healthy cells and then becoming contagious?

Do we have effective measures to stop this virus in the event that this occurs? If so, what are they?

Edit: I don't know a lot about virology. Please don't downvote an honest question.

Can the installed dependencies be downloaded locally? It might be a great way to resolve npm dependencies without resolving having to run npm on my system.

The few remote services I rely on broke on me far more times than my local development environment. Far more if you consider degraded internet connections.

I'll stick with my reliable local environment, thank you.

Google AI researchers don't have the final say in what gets published and what doesn't. I think there was a huge controversy when people learned about it last year.

Then they should be honest about it. They can use all the PR lingo they want but don't flat out lie about it.

Lying about ethics or misattributing their actions to some misguided sense of "social" responsibility puts google in a far worse light in my eyes. I can't help but wonder how many skilled employees were driven off from accepting a position at google because of lies like these.

Same situation here. When I bought my last laptop, a thinkpad, the main deciding factor was keyboard keys.

In their reckless pursuit of apple and their loaded customers, Laptop makers failed to appreciate how important key layout is to retaining their existing customers. Fortunately, framework (or any third-party) is in a position to offer keyboards with alternate key layouts :)

> If you're fine with import tax and an American keyboard

I never understood this. Why don't companies offer international keyboards in their online american store? It should be especially easy for framework to do this since they already customize their offers/sell kits.

Facing the same problem.

When I first read about this laptop, I immediately jumped to preorder it but found that they aren't sold to people like me. The same happened again when I read this article. Your comment reminded me why I still have one.

The thing is that I'm also starting to reconsider buying one now. I know they're small and barely able to keep up with their local markets, but competitors are starting to notice. I as a non-american would much rather buy from a international competitor who doesn't treat me like a lesser citizen if they can match Framework's level of openness and modularity. Once I buy into their ecosystem, I doubt I'll reconsider framework again. I imagine a significant portion of framework's underserved international market in this position.

I truly wish all the success to the framework team. I just hope, for their sake, that they manage to address international demand before they lose it to their competitors.

what about cloudflare?

This statement is false. Coffeezilla does not believe that "all crypto is 100% scams". Not even close. In fact, he stated in a recent video that he personally holds cryptocurrency.

If you have a counterpoint then by all means make an argument for it, but don't post.. this.

It's always disappointing to see what hacker news devolves into whenever cryptocurrencies are discussed. We should try to hold ourselves to a higher standard than this.

This small tirade of yours is arguing against a strawman.

GP is likely referring to the userspace component of nvidia's driver, not the actual blob that gets loaded onto the gpu. If it is indeed true that you need to run proprietary userland code, then this open-source release is nothing but a way to circumvent the GPL issues that lead to nvidia's driver partially breaking in Linux 5.??.

While not ideal, I like many don't have a hard stance against loading proprietary hardware firmware blobs. I, however, absolutely take issue with running opaque user-space programs.

That also sounds exactly the kind of action that a normal person would take to sell a GPU he no longer needed.

Enabling desktop mode usually fixes this for me. I think changing the domain to old.reddit.com also works.

But yeah, reddit is really shooting itself in the foot with this nonsense.

I believe Brave uses Tor for their incognito mode on desktops so we're already seeing some advancements on that front. Unfortunately, brave are still unable to provide tor for their users on android.

For overlay networks to be normalized, popular browser makers have to include them in their mobile versions. For better or worse, android and ios are what most normal people use these days.

Excellent write up!

How well would the new congestion controls be able to handle udp traffic from aggressively opportunistic protocols like bittorrent over UDP, assuming that datagram traffic is allowed on the tor network?

As far as I know, bittorrent's udp congestion control assumes the network is able to drop packets and clients definitely act accordingly.

> There has been plenty of work on how to de-anonymize Tor users over the years, e.g., see https://www.cs.princeton.edu/~jrex/papers/usenixsec15.pdf.

But that's not what gp asked.

Has the work you linked to been shown to lead to the successful deanonymization of a normal user during normal Tor browsing? It's a simple yes or no question. I don't follow tor news like I used to but I'm willing to bet a months-worth of salary that the answer is still no.

Because you can't control it. Drivers aren't liable for design flaws in their cars be they faulty self-driving, unintended acceleration, etc.

> and they don't sponsor podcasts

I do this as well! Annoy me with to much ads and I'll avoid you and your product out of spite.

> I'm wondering where that money went.

I was wondering the same about the $1M donation they got in 2018. Turns out they misallocated a significant portion of it to things like social outreach programs.

There is nothing wrong with having SRPs if you're a multi-billion tech giant, but a underfunded open source product shouldn't be wasting money on social programs when their primary product was broken (which, in 2018, gnome3 certainly was). At the very least, they could have used it to hold proper user-focus groups to find out how their users actually used their product.

I think the organization is suffering from a serious mismanagement issue.

> On my phone it supports all desktop extensions.

Last I checked, Mozilla did everything in their power to prevent you from running desktop extensions.

If I may ask:

1. Which version are you using?

2. Where did you get that version?

3. What settings/process did you change/follow to make firefox accept all desktop extensions?

Please be as specific as you can. A link to a Mozilla resources. if you can provide it, would be even better.

> plus it supports extensions on Android.

It doesn't on my phone.

> The maximum number of days you can hold updates for is 60.

If I wanted a system that enforces arbitrary mandates on me, I'd use windows.

Is it really that surprising?

Android is becoming just as locked down as Apple, but the ones doing the locking down (samsung) are nowhere near as good at software and attention-to-detail as Apple.

That coupled with android phones having unacceptably sparse security updates (6 months/1 year between security updates? Really?), and higher costs (Apple phones over 7+ years are much cheaper than equivalent samsung over 3 years or less).

If I accept that "my" phone is not something I can't control or fix, why wouldn't I buy the cheaper, better-designed phone with better security? Did they really thing that people wouldn't notice?

Google and samsung decided to give up the only competitive they had (openness, standards) by pretending to be Apple. Now they'll have to compete with Apple on everything else (they can't).
