Framework Stops Selling Some of Its Laptops in the U.S. Due to Tariffs
The manufacturer says it would now have to sell its laptops at a loss.
Screw Steve Jobs for foisting the disposable tech business model upon the world, and screw Trump for depriving us of one of the very few products that stands against that business model.
Can anyone afford their laptops anyway?
my laptop is a 16, so yes. the laptop was never a laptop if you wanted value per dollar, its about minimizing waste due to broken parts and not treating tech as a disposal hardware.
They are more expensive than high volume budget laptops but inline with other premium laptops. They aren't unaffordable for working people in developed countries.
If I have another laptop die in rural Australia there is no local repair or replacement. Usually I take a gamble and buy the cheapest shit I can find, accepting it is disposable. I paid premium for the self repair and upgrade options and I will do again.
Yes.
