Does anyone have strong opinions on open source hardware? I’m finally at a point where I need to upgrade my laptop.

The Framework 16 pre-order is tempting. It’s a fascinating project. Even if it comes at premium due to the small scale of their operation, I’m happy to support the cause.

Alternatively, Sytem76/Clevo hardware has interested me for a long time (coreboot ftw). Based on the documentation current gens are super easy to repair.

Any thoughts are appreciated!

    The lack of alarms/reminders that you can easily set from the app is the main deal breaker for me. I have individual alarms and reminders for different tasks, multiple in a day and different per day of the week (mi band/gadgetbridge). Pinetime right now only gets a total of ONE alarm, which you can only set by pressing some awkwardly designed UI on the watch. Sadly this is my only deal breaker.
