In lieu of seeing other Framework owners in the wild, I’ll be posting my own “adventures” to Instagram (and tagging @frameworkcomputer) for now.
Glassware on the right says “lab? maybe?”
Glassware on the left says “bar”!
Coffee shop in Frederick, MD.
My Framework is my personal laptop. It won’t make it out into the wild much. I have a corporate laptop, that’s what I travel with. If something happens to it I won’t cry all that much and get a newer, faster replacement. It won’t be a Framework though, $1000 CAD budget for a replacement.
If something were to happen to my Framework I would be very, very sad. And work wouldn’t cover it…
@Fraoch Maybe you can get your work to cover a Framework replacement one component at a time, just piecemeal it together
For real though, gotta protect those personal devices. After someone knocked my laptop off the desk back in first year, shattering the screen, I haven’t trusted using anything larger than a phone in lecture
The way students leave their laptops in the library while they go in search of coffee or snacks makes me cringe…things go missing all the time! I guess they just don’t care for their Macbooks in the same way as we covet our framworks
I’ve done this, but only at the community college where there’s always a place to work within lunging distance of the checkout counter.
Not quite on topic for this thread, but I had an interaction where someone was curious about my framework in a university class/lab setting. They were not familiar, and at that point I had only had my framework for about a week. I pointed them to the website and hit on the repairability/ upgrade points and how I like the keyboard. There is interest out there!
I too live in a town called Holland. Except in Ohio and it’s not very Dutch.
I had a peer ask how I got one so fast. They recognized it on sight.
Do not think anyone in Australia will see mine.
Mine has not left the house since receiving it in August.
A deer was staring in my home office window yesterday, kind of nose to logo with the framework lid. Does that count as “in the wild”?
Stealing this off the framework-discussion Discord channel, this was spotted on the NASA James Webb Space Telescope live stream feed:

NASA scientist or reporter?
If I’m not mistaken, that’s Dr. Karl Gordon:

You could spot mine at the Dublin airport right now!
I have never seen another one in the wild… I need to keep traveling,
On the Fedora Project website you can see a Framework 13 with Fedora 37 as the featured image!
@matthartley#4934 on Discord (Framework Linux Support Lead) has confirmed in the Framework Discord has confirmed that it was not a prompted feature!
So Cool!
Sorry for light mode
Not necessarily in the wild as it’s mine, but have a pic of my framework puter (with skin) in front of Mt. Fuji in Japan
Not wearing his hat that day. That’s a great view to have.
We should add the photo to the Hokusai’s Mount Fuji pictures: Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji - Wikipedia
