It's really going to be absolutely critical that we be able to hack on and trust the hardware we use. I really think the hardware from MNT is the best bet we have for a computing future we still have a say in https://mnt.re/
I'm hoping the MNT Reform Next is going to make MNT's stuff more accessible to a wider variety of people

@cwebber I hope they make a normal sized laptop.

@be That's what the MNT Reform Next is (mostly)! https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/mnt-reform-next

@cwebber Is this a subtoot on #framework / #FrameworkLaptop ?

@Sobex It's not necessarily, I have been advocating MNT's stuff for a long time.
But let me say that I think that if you *are* disappointed with Framework's actions then consider that MNT is:
- An indie, queer open hardware shop based out of Berlin
- All of their stuff really is as open hardware as they can make it
- The community is just lovely -

- There's no current x86 offering, if that's important to you
- You *will* have to hack it at some point probably, but it's highly hackable!
- The MNT Reform Next isn't out yet, so either you have this incredibly cute pocket computer, or you have the chonker "brutalist" (but highly hackable) original MNT Reform -

@jorgecandeias @cwebber Is it even worse price wise than Framework ?
(Which is known to be a fair bit more expensive than the x86 competition).

@Sobex Usually arm64/aarch64, but there are some other modules, including a (soon to be revived) FPGA module (that one's just for some very particular developers), and there were some demos of a RISC-V module. But it's generally ARM64.

- The MNT Reform Next isn't out yet, so either you have this incredibly cute pocket computer, or you have the chonker "brutalist" (but highly hackable) original MNT Reform@Sobex There's one other big downside: power management really isn't very good on most of the modules *yet*. I think some of the older modules have suspend, but hibernate is kinda working on the RK3588, no suspend yet. I do think this is a big barrier to adoption for many people.

@jorgecandeias @Sobex I'm pretty sure they're cheaper than a Framework. The Pocket Reform certainly is.

@listentolist @Sobex I haven't yet; running Guix on top of Debian when using it. There have been people working on it:
https://community.mnt.re/t/guix-and-reform/173/44It could use more help though!

A lot of people are bringing up price as a downside. This is true insofar as there are certainly cheaper offerings on the market which are even more powerful in terms of specs, and with less fiddling required.
So that doesn't sound like a big sell! This is for people who want to have something repairable, and want to help *get* the state of hardware to a better safe, to help invest in hardware for a future we can still control.

Salari, l’Ue “mostra progressi”. Ma non l’Italia, penultima tra i 27
@news
https://www.eunews.it/2025/10/13/salari-lue-mostra-progressi-ma-non-litalia-penultima-tra-i-27/
Il rapporto annuale della Commissione europea sull'evoluzione dei salari mostra un sistema Paese dove dal 2019 le retribuzioni sono scese del 4,4 per cento, il penultimo dato europeo. Minzatu: "Competere sulla qualità, non sui bassi cosi"

@enki_2931 questo nn lo sapevo, grazie ! Ma non mi serve neppure un cellulare così potente! La sola cosa che mi potrebbe far gola è una fotocamera decente. Più che altro per quando non ho dietro la mia vera fotocamera ! Per il resto non gioco, non chatto salvo msg di servizio, leggo le mail e gli eBook…. Qualche sito, mastodon… finita lì. Son vecchia scuola, preferisco un portatile nello zaino !!

@calcifer TBF it's not like MSO doesn't have its quirks, and this hasn't prevented it from being imposed as default everywhere. The more people adopt LO, the more its quirks will become «default» and the more people will adapt to them and find the MSO ones annoyingly disruptive.
(This to say: there's something to be said about pushing for standardization even on imperfect things, simply because what most people consider acceptable vs quirky is as much a matter of habit as it is objectively.)

@andre123 Se parliamo del Pixel 10, la versione da 128 GB ha memorie più vecchie e lente rispetto alla versione da 256 GB. La differenza non è piccola: le 256 GB sono più recenti e performanti.
Il Pixel 10 non è un top di gamma per componenti (non è come un Samsung S25 o un iPhone), ma viene apprezzato per ottimizzazione software e gestione del sistema, che lo rendono comunque molto fluido.

@enki_2931 si la modularità non è poco eh… tra graphene e altri non ho approfondito a sufficienza per cui non so esprimermi anche se il consenso generale pare per graphene appunto. Considerato poi che sto seguendo lo sviluppo dei cellulari con display e-ink… ne tirassero fuori uno con graphene e fotocamera non spazzatura sarebbe perfetto per me! Ma… vediamo…. Intanto speriamo che non passi sta porcata domani !

Considering this saw is easily a 100+ years old, how would they have done it?
Maybe they had a strong press with a stamping die that simply took brass rods and brute-forced their ends into that shape. Don’t know.
The rib is important, though. Without that they’d be near useless.
