This is not personal emissions of billionaires, its including their businesses.

The Oxfam report says that private planes and “superyachts” are contributing factors, as well as investments in polluting industries like oil and mining.

Nowhere does it mention that their businesses are what’s contributing to their carbon footprint. They are explicitly talking about their lifestyle choices.

So, I’m not sure where you got that info from, but if they are including businesses that these billionaires run, I’d be interested in seeing that data.

Mind you, the majority of these billionaires are in software… a business that’s very easy to convert over to a carbon-neutral model, especially with their resources.

This infuriates me.

I would actually love to do more to REDUCE my carbon footprint, but it’s prohibitively expensive to.

But billionaires (and millionaires) can literally greenify every aspect of their lives, even be carbon-neutral or carbon negative! But they choose not to.

I think taxing the rich just isn’t enough. We need to CAP the rich. There should be no billionaires.

I had asthma as a child, and let me tell you, you can’t do anything with asthma.

FYI, the woman who is currently attempting a round-the-world record by bike has terrible asthma.

I’m sure some athletes are abusing inhalers, but I’m also certain that there are a lot of elite athletes competing with asthma.

Learn to say “no” and deligate other tasks to someone else. You deserve time to yourself and for yourself.

I can’t honestly see them making the chassis slimmer, since it would severely restrict upgradability. But I guess it’s possible in the distant future.

But even then, the parts can very easily be repurposed or sold. There are so many new and upcoming projects which use repurposed Framework components to build all sorts of things from desktops PCs to TV media boxes, to gaming consoles, etc.

You could even build your own NAS, surveillance NVR, and more with repurposed parts.

But even if they make a drastic change to the chassis that requires new parts to be purchased, they are very good at giving upgrade paths that make sense and would likely offer options for existing users.

I can tell you that my anxiety over using a device that can’t be repaired is long gone. I actually feel like I can really use this laptop without worrying about being SOL if the screen breaks, or the touchpad stops working.

The problem with importing is that parts would be slow/expensive to bring in, which would be a bummer.

Honestly, I’m just crossing my fingers that Framework comes out with a repairable smartphone, since they already sell their laptops all over the world =)

Absolutely love it. I had an issue with one of the lights on the keyboard, and they sent a new keyboard, which took maybe a minute to replace. Such a smooth, easy repair process. Any other laptop would have been too inconvenient to fix/return.

It’s not a gaming machine, but you can use an external GPU or wait for the 16" model to come up later this year, which apparently supports a dedicated GPU.

Lots of new options came out since I got mine, including a Chromebook version, AMD versions, etc. When my wife’s laptop dies, I’ll be replacing it with a Framework.

I wish they brought it to Canada. I already went with a Framework laptop for reparability and would easily jump at the opportunity to buy a fairphone.

Investing in your health.
