i don't think this was a huge sacrifice of their time, it is just an itx case at the end of the day. i personally don't care in the slightest for LLMs or other AI work but that audience will throw money at anything, and i'm glad some of that will be going towards framework and AMD
HomoHorticulturist
i'm already tired of people losing their minds over the soldered ram, as if it was in framework's control or that socketed ram could even compare to this... modular ram at this spec is coming but it isn't ready for this generation of chips. if you don't have a need for the insane vram just don't buy it, or get the case and build your own standard ITX system. no one else is providing this chipset to desktop users or running at its full tdp and framework made it available, i cannot find the problem.
yes, you will be able to at launch
they aren't truly BIFL, i don't think they're particularly solid, but AIAIAI make modular over ears - so at least not the full unit needs to be replaced as they age. i use a pair and my only complaint is the bleeding - eg on a train, anyone in the adjacent seats is definitely hearing what you're listening to. could be an issue with just the cups i chose though
its sad to see but kind of expected for reddit users; a few days of personal 'struggle' would feel like more of an injustice than corporate greed. it's a uniquely cultish user base imo
thank you for moving over! i was checking which subs were continuing the blackout over on reddit & the nastiness and misguided anger towards you & your post is disgusting. i hope it hasn't affected you too much & that this community will remain civil and welcoming as it grows to that scale
i fully agree, it was particularly weird how much time they donated to AMD right after mentioning the FW16, it definitely got everyone's hopes up for more GPUs
