Framework’s laptop is utterly insane, with hot-swappable ports. The question is how did they get that to work from an engineering perspective? I am an engineer myself and am curious to see how they did it with this laptop.
The expansion cards just use USB Type C connectors, running fully featured USB with display and PD input on all ports (except on AMD).

Just the same way any other USB-C passive dock works - but just with a single port. USB-C has alt modes for display connectors.
