   Oooo, wow. @frameworkcomputer is coming out with a mini PC. VERY cool. I just need to find someone to buy one for me.

   Anybody?

   Maybe if I promise #Framework to only say nice things about them they'll send me one for free?

   Wait, I'm already doing that. Crap. They're not going to bribe me to do something I'm already doing without a bribe.

   I really should have thought this through.

     @ghost_letters Oh wow! I tried going there before I saw your comment and I got an hour wait just to view the site. I bet their team is having a really interesting day.

     They nuked their own shop. That will teach them to build worse products! >.<

     @johnefrancis @mike @frameworkcomputer It's a tougher value proposition than their laptops, but I think for people focusing specifically on AI workloads, it's the only game in town besides the overpriced Asus ROG Flow Z13. Also, it's killer than you can buy the mainboard on its own.

     This is absolutely my future Steam Machinem, though :D

     @mike @frameworkcomputer @killyourfm it's pretty nice. It's cheaper than Apple hardware. It's DIY, which is fine. Is it cheaper & better than DIY'ing your own desktop after reading some hardware compat specs? I dunno...it seems like it might not be a bad deal to pay a bit of overhead for having someone line up some nice parts and stand behind them (somewhat).
