The under panel aluminum gets really hot, which in turn dissipates into my leg muscles while it is on my lap. I guess that makes the heat dissipation good (enough?) since the CPU doesn't get worse than 170°F. It is honestly just pretty awful.

I definitely don't know. I have had no opportunity to physically use a Framework laptop. I am only speaking about what I know from the images on their website.

Or do you mean the MacBook Air? These later model Airs don't have fans, and that means the aluminum gets really, really hot. The CPU temperature readouts get up to 170°F. It's bonkers.

I really want one because I am tired of my lemon of a 2022 M2 MacBook Air and even more tired of paying money to a corporation that does basically everything in its power to remind me that I don't own my own hardware. I had to have the goddamn logic board replaced on this thing, and Apple refused to let me retain the original part, even though the SSD chips were perfectly fine. I unknowingly botched my time machine backup and forewent the $100 bench backup, and now some five weeks worth of my data is gone forever because they wouldn't let me keep the original part because "muh policy".

The only thing stopping me from purchasing a Framework laptop is that the fan intake vents are on the bottom of the device, which makes using the laptop on my lap not very doable.

Also, I am pretty over aluminum as a material for devices that I have to touch with my skin for long periods of time. I would prefer carbon fiber.

What is the impact on the biosphere of a single person born in the West? Isn't it something absurd like, detonating a nuclear bomb or two?

The MP4 does not concern itself with where it is, only with where it is going. It is a highly calibrated series of movement vectors with frame by frame calculations being rendered by highly sophisticated...

Every time I see the flag of France, I am reminded of this TNG scene.

Mailfence and Protonmail.

Mailfence has shorter inactive account policies which result in account deletion, and its login sessions are terminated very quickly.

I have also experienced multiple mail receipt failures because of instable mail servers in their pool, but that was back in December, and never recurred.

I only use Mailfence for throwaway emails.

Security is not a wall. It is a maze.
