I've made a DIY Framework Wi-Fi expansion card from scrap electronics! :neobot:

The Wi-Fi board was scavanged from an old and long dead tablet. After desoldering, testing it and noticing that it was connected internally via USB 2.0, I've hooked it to an USB-C breakout board, fitted it together with its antenna in a 3D printed expansion card case, secured everything together and... it works!

I don't have an actual use for it right now as my Framework already has a working newer internal Wi-Fi interface, but it might be useful sometime in the future... and nevertheless, making something work out of components that would otherwise just be headed to a landfill always puts a smile on my face! :neobot_flop:

(BTW the lid has also been made by cutting a sheet of scrap polarizer taken from a dead laptop screen down to size. I did it simply because it was something easy to cut and would do the job just fine, but it also ended up looking rather cool in person! )

Ha, un petit retour d'utilisation à mon niveau très personnel de mon laptop #Framework13.

J'avais lu pas mal de mauvais retours sur la qualité de leurs firmwares, et du faible nombre de mises à jour.

Et bien peut-être que les choses ont évoluées. C'est vrai, j'ai bien eu des problèmes de mon côté avec leurs firmwares.

Mais je me dois aussi d'être honnête : je n'ai jamais eu un laptop avec des mises à jour aussi régulières, et qui changent vraiment les choses.

#Framework

I'm a laptop weirdo and that's why I like my new Framework 13

https://blog.matthewbrunelle.com/im-a-laptop-weirdo-and-thats-why-i-like-my-new-framework-13/

#HackerNews #laptopweirdo #Framework13 #techenthusiast #innovation #laptoplove

@paul @rl_dane I got the following for my #Framework13 & that fixed my wifi issues... Pretty cheap fix until the drivers get ported for MediaTek . #FreeBSD #RunBSD #GhostBSD
https://frame.work/products/intel-wi-fi-6e-ax210?v=FRANBWNT05

That’s a bit of a weird one. The latest kernel 6.17.8 update for @fedora 43 is breaking the keyboard input during boot on my @frameworkcomputer 13. I can’t enter the encryption password to continue booting.

Rolling back fixes it (thank god for atomic distros)

#linux #fedora #fedora43 #framework #framework13

#framework13 replacement/repair bits arrived after considerable amounts of customs/duties fin-angering. I need to decide whether to bother trying the QCM865 wireless card I relegated to test SBC again when I do the swap of Motherboard over or sticking with trusty mt7922/25's

Half shocked to find the #framework13 USB-C to HDMI expansion card worked on a Mac book, saving the day in a #mozfest2025 session.

https://frame.work/pl/en/products/hdmi-expansion-card-3rd-gen

I thought it would work but never tried it before. The power of open hardware, people take note!

I am experiencing very short battery life on my #Framework13 since I updated to #Fedora43. Anyone else? Tips?

#Fedora #Framework

[solved] Framework 13 keeps freezing after upgrade to Fedora 43: flip_done timed out

Edit: Thanks to @save_the_humans@leminal.space for pointing to this guide by @stdevel@chaos.social—I haven’t had further freezes since following the steps in it:

It is sufficient to add the boot parameter amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10 in the GRUB configuration (/etc/default/grub):

...  
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="... amdgpu.dcdebugmask=0x10"  
...  

Afterwards the GRUB configuration must be updated and the computer must be rebooted:

# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg  
# reboot  

Edit: I’m fairly certain @exupulosion@sh.itjust.works got it right when linking it to this unresolved issue.

The title pretty much sums it up. The freezes can happen while I am not doing anything, and while no additional software is running. I don’t really know where to start with this one.

Here’s journalctl -b -1 -e from the latest crash, as I found online that this could be useful:

The laptop is rather new, but with the AMD Ryzen™ 5 7640U w/ Radeon™ 760M Graphics × 12 processor from the previous generation.

Great news, my @frameworkcomputer laptop works fine with #FreeBSD so far; had to replace #Mediatek wifi card with one from #Intel ($25 USD). But most things seem to work. Now to get Mediatek drivers 😁👍🏾 #Framework13 #AMD #WiFi #GhostBSD #DualBoot
@FreeBSDFoundation

So I have come to my first #Linux rite of passage - I delved too deep into the terminal and messed something up. The culprit was trying to mount the drive for @mailbox_org (using instructions way over my head) to @fedora on my @frameworkcomputer.

I'll try to fix it tomorrow but I feel strangely proud to have broken something I MIGHT be able fix later....

#technology #fedora #computer #laptop #framework #framworklaptop #framework13 #tech

Eh, another discharged laptop battery. I charged my #framework13 to 100% when I woke up at 6:00. At 8 I took it with me and at 9:00 I tried to use it to prototype some software. The system was fully discharged.

I booted the older kernel but apparently something in Fedora 43 still breaks suspend.

At this rate I'm pondering another reinstall to something else. If all current kernels are broken I may go back to something like 24.04 LTS or even Windows 11.

It's the little things that break :/

Caution to anyone using Core Ultra 1 #framework13. With #fedora43 the system no longer suspends. Discharged, overheated laptop from the bag each time.

Si vous possédez un #framework, je rappel que votre secure boot n'est plus une protection suffisante depuis Juin dernier.

La vulnérabilité Hydroph0bia, n'est toujours pas corrigée.

Vous devez donc être TRÈS vigilent⋅e, surtout si vous êtes une personne "à risques".

Le risque majeur étant les travaux de Joanna Rutkowska sur la virtualisation et le risque d'infection persistante niveau processeur (ring 0 ou "moins").

Habt ihr ähnliche Erfahrungen oder wisst vielleicht ein paar Tipps? Energieeinstellungen habe ich auch schon gecheckt, die sind auf "Energiesparen" 🤔

@N01R I am happy with both my #framework13 laptop and Ubuntu. My daughter who took the New #framework12 for studies will also have Ubuntu.

My #framework13 came with a broken display cable connector. Things like that happen and they shipped a replacement pretty much immediately. While installing the replacement display I found that it's seating slots don't align with the alignments pins on the laptop which makes me unable to install it.

This is annoying. Where is your QA @frameworkcomputer?
