If Framework succeeds, then that upfront cost would eventually pay for itself as you perpetually upgrade the hardware rather than buy an entirely new laptop every time you want e.g. more RAM. Not to mention that as this catches on and Framework finds its footing, I'd fully expect the prices to come down with better economies of scale.

> I think the Bridge trilogy also started nudging in that direction.

Yes, but in a slightly different way. For example there is a scene in Virtual Light where one character is listening to another complain about how "you can't tell the difference anymore between the 'programs' and the 'commercials,' whatever that meant".

> Just an absolutely pathetic, counterproductive, downright stupid decision on behalf of reddit

You may be right, but your choice of words make me wonder why some people feel so sure of being right as to claim somebody else incapable of getting something right when it's so obvious what to do. But is it?

Perhaps the decision is sad as it would be better for the world that they stand their ground. But perhaps it was the only rational choice that reddit could do (game theory and all that). Or perhaps they did intentionally choose what they thought was the better option for everybody, and letting people radicalize in their ghettos (and stand out as radicalized groups) instead of normalizing the radical positions.

In any case, I wouldn't be so sure we're dealing with downright stupidity.
Linux Kernel 5.14 Released Right After the 30th Anniversary of Linux
It's even better -- each UC is REQUIRED to take a certain number of community college transfer students. It's not quite the case anymore, but you could apply as a freshman into the guaranteed transfer programs and be guaranteed a spot in the UC of your choice by maintaining a certain easily attainable GPA. I had a friend in high school who was a middling student get a UC Berkeley biomedical engineering degree this way. More recently the program seems way underutilized -- some recent graduates I have known did 2 years in community college and had their choice of UC Berkeley, UCLA, or anywhere else.
While that is true in the theoretical, it ignores human psychology. For example the Debt Snowball method has been so widely successful for ignoring precisely this black&white pragmatism.
The "convergence" may happen at a level of the management structure that isn't visible to the rank-and-file worker, but rather several "layers of abstraction" up in the realm of budgetary and policy decisions. For example, a "budget laptop" company that doesn't place a high priority on high quality UEFI firmware isn't going to suddenly spin up a top-tier embedded team just because they decided to make a "premium" product - it might not even occur to them as something they need to spend more effort on.
Anecdote:

Over the past few years, I've owned an Asus laptop (thin/light), two Lenovo laptops, and an HP. Before that, a large Dell gaming laptop.

Most recently, I had bought the HP Omen 15, but realizing that the screen used PWM below 100% brightness, I sold it and bought a Lenovo Legion 5.

The previous Lenovo is a Y540. The Y540 is arguably "good but not great" build quality. If you squint, it looks kind of like there could be a slight curve to the bottom of the monitor where the two side hinges support it.

The Legion 5 is really well built. No unusual give, very smooth running fans, etc. It's also been super reliable, better than expected battery - really nothing to complain about.

Now I imagine if you spend $2-3k on laptops, you probably think these $1k laptops are garbage quality, but they seem better than the HP Omen 15, and certainly better than the Asus and the $1700 Dell I bought 8 years ago.
You’re the perfect out of market example. Use other tools, and be content.

Of course, they’re not charging individuals, so I’m not sure why you’re complaining.
Still, do you think that Berlin-based company charged $250-400 per engineer-hour?
Ditto trackpoint. Thinkpad junkie who cannot work without.
You don't need to sacrifice performance since CPUs step down automatically. For a hybrid design they only use the smaller cores for less demanding tasks. In fact this design gives a perceived increase in performamce as the author has written about.
Beating 1 Sievert: Optimal Radiation Shielding of Astronauts on Mission to Mars
With alternatives such as System76 and the modular Framework laptop emerging, as well as low-cost systems from Pine, Lenovo's claim as the default preferred choice of the Linux/*BSD and power-user set is very rapidly evaporating.

I've bought Thinkpads personally and professionally for 20 years. Idiotic cunning stunts such as this and Superfish have removed it from any future consideration.
> My comment is that there really isn't much of substance in the article. It's very short and doesn't contain much information in it.

I agree that it's short, but I found the information very useful.

I've ordered a framework laptop (expected to be delivered today, if FedEx plays nice), and was really excited to read the content of the email. It's super helpful in deciding which linux distro I want to start out with, and has links to the forum threads where people are sorting out support for each distro.

Exactly the kind of content I need as I start down the path of getting the laptop setup.

So +1 for short, but I strongly disagree that the post doesn't contain much information.
If laptops or washing machines were sold with this sort of lifespan I'm sure it would not be acceptable. Why is it acceptable for AirPods etc without a warning of some sort?
Here's a gotcha for you: https://github.com/denoland/deno/issues/4568

I’ve never understood the next-business-day-on-site warranty thing people seem so keen on.

Apple products (top case stickers notwithstanding) are fungible: just buy another one from any Apple store in the universe and restore your backup, and let AppleCare deal with the busted one on their own schedule.

There’s nothing special about your laptop except the data. The factory pumps out bazillions of them.
You are confusing deflation with inflation.
I think much of contemporary art and architecture is stuck in a monocultural loop. There is no input from aesthetically-educated people that are outside the academy or architecture/art industry. It is extremely anti-diverse, especially compared to previous centuries where you had the entire swath of society working on a structure. Hence you’ll get things like that building.

And no I wouldn’t say you have no taste. Most aestheticians throughout (global) history would likely dislike that building. It’s only a recent phenomenon that such styles became so prevalent, largely out of ignorance or rejection of previous things.
Unfortunately, despite HN’s insistence that FOSS is sustainable - they have realized the truth, as seen by replies with views similar to yours, that Devs are too stingy to pay and support Dev tools.
This would require identification of rogue "protected" users, to kick them out, thus ruling out using any sort of blind verification and ruining online privacy for those using it. And naturally, it's marginally more convenient while being extremely detrimental to privacy, thus it'll be popular, thus services will eventually block non-"protected" users, thus ruining the internet even more.
> These feel like sadistic ways to punish people for being poor.

I think I read that we estimate about 1% (and that's at the upper range) of foodstamps/SNAP/EBT/etc are used for fraud. It's a pretty small number but I think a lot of people think it's much higher. We tend to over index on these things and forget to consider the 99% that are being used probably as intended.
> From engineer's perspective the difference between a free tool and a "small fee" (in most companies) is not money. It's the fact that you now have to jump through provisioning hoops and ask for permission to use the tool. The difference in flexibility is enormous.

So is the difference in cost to the business: if the fee is small per seat, then the big cost is the license administration overhead, not the license fee, so the induced cost can be much greater than the revenue the seller realizes.
> Still, for a business with stricter security standards, it would be ideal to do a clean reimage of all new laptops regardless of vendor, and specifically add only the necessary drivers, etc.

This is what I've done with virtually every machine I've personally owned for oh... the last 20 years? Why is this not people's defacto way of setting up a new machine? It's obvious that preinstalls are full of bloatware and spyware. The only issue (primarily from the past) is that specialty hardware may not work without vendor-provided drivers. That's largely no longer true, especially for the big-name brands like Lenovo, Dell, Acer, ec.
As far as I know, that’s not how banks make loans. They don’t lend deposited money, the money they lend is created out of thin air.
The parts used to make your car were likely delivered to the factory by a semi truck, and not by another car. Should you buy a semi truck to go to the mall then, since even the carmaker thinks that cars aren't good enough? Obviously not. Different requirements are a thing.
And different state populations have different overall philosophies about how much and how they tax, the types and levels of services they provide, etc. In the US, eliminating state taxation authority is effectively taking a lot or power away from states and giving it to the federal government which... isn't happening. Certainly not short of constitutional amendment(s).

Even with his billions, Jeff Bezos is such a sore loser. This is just like him whining and moaning about losing JEDI to Microsoft. A contract literally written for Amazon to win.

Elon Musk is trying to push the boundaries of what humans do, yet he's got this remarkable jealous space cowboy as a thorn in his side. A hundred problems and now this. I can't imagine the weight on his shoulders. What a sick joke.

Amazon has its hands in too many pies anyway and needs to be split up. It's doing real damage to small business and consolidating too much leverage under the hands of the esteemed powerful few.

Bezos is a power player and he's dangerous. He's rubbing shoulders with politicians, has a snazzy place near DC to wine and dine them, and has a media outlet to publish hit pieces on his enemies. Total menace.

I had one of the Matias wireless keyboards with the numeric keypad. I bought it because at the time, Apple didn't make a wireless version of its full Magic Keyboard.

It was good for about a year. Then i started having connectivity problems. The Letter in the keys wrote off quickly. And a few of the keys started becoming less responsive. The quality just wasn't there.

Luckily, by then Apple came out with its version, and it's been flawless for a few years now. It's worth the extra money to go with Apple, if you're getting that kind of keyboard.

I don't see any evidence of dualism in the article. I think it makes sense that as people try to make intelligent machines we will find out more and more about what that means. The goalposts shift themselves until perhaps one day you find yourself there. But at every point you should expect it to turn out to be more complicated than you thought. Surely.

As for humans losing the ability to understand - that does sound a little bit panicky.
Companies do this because customers have already demanded it or because they know companies will demand it.

It's expensive, but it helps you land customers, which pay you enough to cover it.

> I personally find it quite sad to see reactions on HN regarding the introduction of Docker Desktop subscription model

Let me tell you what the problem is. This is the Darth Vader business model: "I have altered the deal, pray that I don't alter it further".

The reactions didn't start today.

First, features that could decrease their lockin tend to linger in limbo forever. For example, the ability to have mirrors. This works, but _only for dockerhub_. Isn't that odd? There are even pull requests proposed ( * )

https://github.com/moby/moby/issues/18818

Then there were the Dockerhub changes. Those are understandable, it must be a heavy money sink to maintain that service. Want to keep using that registry? Pay them. This is a fine arrangement (but note that dockerhub has special status, as you can use it without specifying the registry, and it can be used a a mirror). Still ok though.

More recently they changed Docker Desktop to not allow skipping updates if you are not paying them. That was the strangest "feature" ever. Don't want to support? Say that's the last supported "free" version and stop providing updates after a certain date. But this "you can only choose NOT to update if you are pro" was weird.

And then there's this.

They have been trying and failing to extract a working business model out of their technology. So instead of trying to offer something that would entice people to pay, they have started to cripple their product for the ones who don't pay, just to get back to the same feature level they had before.

Can they do that? Of course. What else will they decide to do in the future though?

( * ) Maybe this would be a Docker Pro/Team/Enterprise/whatever feature? Ok cool. This would make my life easier to try to pitch buying it. Mirrors would improve stability. Maybe some fancy local caching for K8s clusters so they would avoid pulls if another machine has pulled an image already? Give us something that will save time or money or improve stability and I can pitch to management. Right now? I see no reason to pitch pro/team/business as most of their stuff we don't care about. And maybe don't conflate Docker, the software, with DockerHub?
