    It’s really easy. Do they provide this for all their workers? Is this particular worker being treated to this particular gift when no one else did?

    If this was specifically provided for this worker without input from them, then it’s a problem.

    If everyone in the office gets a chocolate cake with Hennessy, then it’s fine.

    If the worker selected this treat for themselves, then it’s fine.


  • Aside from needing a passkey/passphrase every time you open Signal, what would be the solution? If the user can read the unencrypted messages, then so can malware running as the user.

    Heck, even if you required some sort of authentication to open the messages, malware could just capture that.

    It’s the same problem with browser credential stealing, you can grab all the cookies from an authenticated browser session and copy it to a new system.

    Really, the biggest issue is that Signal doesn’t detect multiple instances running of the same session, but that’s also extremely difficult to do without malware being able to work around it.

    Not saying there’s no solution here, but there is not a simple solution aside from trusting your computer and cancelling sessions if you suspect someone compromised your system (or just not using a desktop app.)




  • The ONLY problem I have had with this, is the controller on the system itself defaults as controller 1, so SOME games it takes a little fiddling to use different controllers. But I have done this and it works great.

    I’ve used a handful of different USB to HDMI docks, and I haven’t had any problems with any of them. I just use an anker dock that supports gigabit ethernet, 100W power passthrough, and HDMI, and it works just fine.

    You can use just about any controllers using Bluetooth, I really like the wireless XBox controllers (only supported over Bluetooth) for this. But I’ve also used the Switch controllers and they work fine.

    It’s really just a slightly expensive setup for what it is, but it’s also very portable, so…






  • It’s v1 from a relatively new company, trying something unprecedented. I’m not surprised it has some major flaws. The first Gen framework 13 did as well.

    I own a Gen2 and a Gen3 framework 13 and they are both phenomenal. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a slim laptop, that wasn’t overly concerned about cost.

    I’m sure the Gen3 FW16s will be great as well, but it’s going to be a bit before I would recommend them to anyone.

    What I think would be great for framework to do next is to design a purpose built eGPU for the framework 13. I would really enjoy something that would turn the FW13 into a decent gaming PC, while still retaining the portability for travel.
