Speculation on the future of Framework

Sure. Issues I’ve experienced:

  1. When I plug in my AMD framework laptop, there’s a 10-30% chance that it won’t start charging. This is quite alarming when you discover this in the middle of a work video conference and you can’t unplug+replug your laptop because your webcam is going through the dock.
  2. Sometimes the fan won’t turn on even though the laptop is boiling hot
  3. Sometimes the temperature sensors fail to read due to firmware bugs
  4. Sometimes a kworker will get stuck at 100%

I also had my fair share of issues on the 11th gen intel board (most annoyingly being thunderbolt would briefly disconnect, but only if your battery charge limit was less than 100%) but I don’t know if those have been fixed.
