Seriously what is this? Nintendo argues that by instructing users how to extract the prod.keys from their own switch the yuzu developers are essencially infringing on the DMCA.

So what? Now you can't even freely use your own property anymore because it goes against the design intentions of some big company that just want's to milk their users?

Nintendo goes directly after this argument in its lawsuit, arguing that buying a Switch game only means you "have Nintendo's authorization to play that single copy on an unmodified Nintendo Switch console."

Not sure. ThinkPads are desktop equivalents in portable form and have no equivalent in portable form. Boutique Linux laptop companies can do the same, but are incomparable as far as aftersales, third party parts availability and user repairability guides go.

Desktops are open but not portable.

Framework seems promising, considering how good support for the upgrades and repairs for the 13 have been.

[–] TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

But ThinkPads have been sold in millions for a couple decades at this point. There will always remain that gap.

Sure, and in terms of extended warranty and aftermarket parts the support is probably better/more guaranteed on a Thinkpad, but in terms of repairability, Framework sells the only 2 laptops that iFixit gave a 10/10

So I was just adding it on to your analysis. I'd say that warrants consideration, at least.

If you can afford Framework, it can be a better pick, but ThinkPad is a safer and more economical pick for people with lesser budget. I do not think Framework is greedy, but it is more for "first world" ultracapitalist country residents.

Laptops in general are portable but not modular/repairable.

Its a tradeoff, but it wouldnt be impossible to fix it.
