I hope they addressed the irregular difficulty curve. I found the sudden spikes in difficulty incredibly frustrating. Then again, I probably won't fire it back up any time soon, it was too frustrating :-(

I have to say, for all their flaws my Framework purchase isn't regretted. The hardware isn't perfect. The firmware isn't perfect.
But they try.
And mostly succeed.

I have an old G102 mouse. No idea how old it is, the left button has a large shiny dimple that I'm 100% sure wasn't there when it was new. It's still working pretty much perfectly.

I just hate wireless mice/keyboards for the random battery dead at the worst possible time thing that always happens :grin:

I hope it serves you an uneventful decade

I had that empty feeling after finishing BG3 as an evil Durge, Although I suspect that's called depression :unsure:

Let me add it to my wishlist.

I'm thinking maybe access to an internal usb header? If so, it's possibly USB2, so too slow for a proper high-res LCD display.

Worst case you'd need to mod the case and route a cable through to the back so you can plug into something there.

For a moment I thought it was outside when the opening scene of Green Ash popped up. (I know it's not a game, but still).

There was a large variety of games running at a large variety of frame rates (likely due to it running on a large variety of computers). It's looking good.

It needs to change and have the source of data available. Right now it's basically a huge data anonymising machine that can verbatim memorise and spit out someone else's work, but can't tell you where it got it from.
The "references" they generate are just things that look like whatever they made up.

Look at the Kurzgesagt video on AI slop for reference.

For me it's that the data they feed into these opensource licensed models is still suspect. How do we know the data was sourced in respect to their license? Much "free" information is provided on a free for personal use, but not business use, basis. How much of their costs have they externalised and not cared about? Did they include wikipedia content without citing wikipedia as the source? That's against the wikipedia license, for example.

It's not just a privacy issue, it's also an ethical issue.

It's both good and bad in my opinion:

Good: Many people rudely throw AI generated text and expect others (that often have less time to waste) to figure out if the message even makes sense. There is a severe lack of ownership. This basically says that if you propose something bad that was AI generated we can shout at you regardless of if you understand it or not. Basically raise the cost of proposing AI slop as a discouragement.

Bad: The REAL bad thing in my opinion is how people's time is wasted by even having to go through this motions in the first place. It's stating that we're basically giving up in regards to using stolen work and fencing things.

I am disturbed by the number, but not surprised. I was telling our marketing department that using the same "free" AI voice that scammers use and is likely harvested without consent on our promotional videos is really a bad message.

And they were surprised with that connection.

That blew my mind, they never thought about what it is they are presenting, and their job is to.
