I am not talking about Framework going bankrupt financially.
I think they will be very successful, at least within the niche they target.
They just loose people, who believed into them for years.
And that’s always a sign of a cooperation loosing their soul.

The ‘tinfoil hat minority’ that you look down upon, is exactly the type of group, that usually invests themselves a lot into a project like this.

And you tell me, that you don’t want to hear or see them.
Hey now! A decade-old Thinkpad can still get a kid through college or connect someone to services they need or people they love for less than anything you can buy new, so at a performance vs price perspective, for some people, you can’t beat a T420!
Whether you are talking about a $300 used laptop, a $269 Best Buy special, a $2,500 Framework 16, or a $4,000 MacBook Pro kitted out with some of their crazy SSD and RAM options, no laptop will represent a good value proposition to every user. No computer can be everything to everyone.

There is nothing toxic in what I write, and I am not hurting the guidelines.
You just don’t want to read, how I feel about things.
As said: Ignorance is more important to some of you, than listening.
