BonfireAtNight, to linux German

I'll probably buy a Framework 13 very soon. On their website there is information on Linux compatibility, stating that some components are not yet officially supported on Arch Linux.

Does anyone have experience with an Arch-based system on the laptop? Should I get AMD rather than Intel, or the other way around? Anything else to keep in mind?

Have any of you #linuxaudio users experience with VSTGUI in conjunction with Linux? https://github.com/steinbergmedia/vstgui
Can a #vendor who maintains Windows and macOS plug-ins with #vstgui assume that Linux #build (s) should be farily easy to create?

Anyone got any blogs from a blindness or a physically disabled perspective on what setting up a Framework is like? I have physical disabilities too but they are, quite literally, the only PC manufacturer that doesn't have bloat when you first use the machine forcing me to use my custom, slimmed down, Windows ISO so I want to know if it would be worth getting if I have physical disabilities too. #Framework

Jobs where I almost regret already being happily employed :-D

#Framework is hiring an #OpenSource & #Firmware developer! That sounds great, both for the person applying as well as for the community. While their hardware is awesome, there's still something left to be desired in terms of firmware (e.g. out of date ME etc.)

I have been waiting for @frameworkcomputer to ship to my country with my language keyboard layout for ages, today I bumped into @novacustom and at glance they seem quite nice and also European based, does anyone has first hand experiences with these laptops?

My +10 years old laptop is really getting impractical to use and a new purchase decision must be made.

A very interesting #plugin #vendor asks me about a recommendation for a #reliable #laptop with a super #stable #operatingsystem as a base to be able to reliably package their plugins for #linux. What would you recommend? Maybe something like a #starfighter or a #framework or something more mainstream like a #thinkpad and probably running #ubuntu or #fedora? They are completely new to #linuxaudio but willing to go all in. ✨🌟

OK! First #NFC component acquired!

Tiny little board. Still too long for a #FrameWork expansion card - but perhaps thin enough to slot in somewhere else?

MicroUSB - but works with a USB-C OTG cable. So I'd either need to hardwire it in, or learn to solder.

I don't know what those debug pins do.

Thoughts on building an NFC reader for the Framework laptop
https://shkspr.mobi/blog/2024/03/thoughts-on-building-an-nfc-reader-for-the-framework-laptop/

The Framework laptop has several little slots which can be used be used to expand the functionality of the laptop. They convert the internal USB-C ports into a different sort of port.

For example, Framework sells an official HDMI card and Ethernet card:

Two small plastic units. Both have a USB-C plug on one end. One terminates in an HDMI connector, the other in an RJ45 connector.

But the community have built their own SD card expansion pack as well as 3D printed snack drawers:

https://community.frame.work/t/the-snack-drawer-store-now-made-with-real-snacks/43101

Brilliant!

I have an NFC-only authentication token which I want to use when I log in with my laptop. I currently have a USB-C NFC reader which I could use, but it is a bit big and bulky.

Is it possible to fit an U2F capable NFC reader into a FrameWork expansion slot?

Size of expansion cards

This was a bit tricky to find. Based on this GitHub page, I think the maximum internal dimensions of a circuit board are about 26mm x 29.7mm. Tight!

A schematic of a circuit.

According to this video from Framework about the cards shows the maximum size of the physical cards.

Screenshot showing 38mm x 30mm x 7mm.

All the cards use a USB-C connector which sits proud of the card itself.

Potential Hardware

First up is this tiny NFC reader.
A small plastic square with a USB jack on the top.
It is designed for phones, and costs about a fiver. The dimensions look like it would might fit if the plastic shell were removed. But the description says:

Output 4/7 bytes of chip serial number, UID only

So no good for doing U2F. But it does at least show that reading an NFC card ought to be possible in a small form factor.

There are component USB-C readers
A small circuit board with both USB-A and C connectors.

That one would easily fit - but the description says it is for reading only. So I don't think it can send the cryptographic challenges necessary.

Then there's the ACM1252U-Z2 - Small NFC Reader Module which costs about £60.

Small circuit board.

It is a much more capable reader. It uses micro-USB rather than USB-C, which isn't insurmountable using a flexible male-male cable. What about the dimensions?

Schematic of a circuit board.

Certainly thin enough! But about twice as long as we need. Could we chop off the end? What's on the other side of that empty space?

Circuit board with large antenna.

Ah! A honking great antenna. If it could be bent at 90°, it would "only" stick up 2.5cm. Which would be ugly, but not disastrous.

Then there is the ACR122T which is in thumb-drive format.

A thumb drive with a retractable USB-A jack and a bulbous end.

That might work. The antenna is probably in the bulbous end. The official schematics don't give much clue.

Technical drawing showing the dimensions.

But if we look in the FCC Database there are some !

Circuit board laying next to a tape measure.

Width of circuit board being measured.

Ignoring the USB jack, the board is about 50mm long. That would leave about 2cm sticking out of the side of the laptop. Which isn't too bad. The width is within what we need. There's even an updated version with a slightly different spec.

I could buy an A-to-C converter which would add unwanted extra length. I wonder how hard it is to unsolder the connector and mount a USB-C one?
A USB-C plug on a pre-populated breakout board.

This video makes it look relatively simple.

But, given the weirdness with resistors, it might be easier to use an OTG Shim.

https://thepihut.com/products/usb-c-otg-converter-shim

I could rip that apart and solder it on to the board. Or perhaps just solder on a USB-C OTG board. Maybe?

I guess it is time to buy some components and try not to break them! If you have any advice or suggestions, please let me know!

My laptop's screen stopped powering on. Luckily it was just a loose cable and fixing it took less time than writing up this post.

If it were another laptop I'd be sending it in for repair right now...

@nil I would really like a #Framework laptop, but your post makes me wonder whether the repairability comes with a trade-off of increased frequency of certain (easily fixed) problems.

Stop using Brave Browser

The Brave web browser has carved out a niche over the past few years as an alternative to Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and other mainstream web browsers. Some of that has come from its marketing as a privacy-preserving web browser, and it has also been repeatedly evangelized by cryptocurrency enthusiasts.

#RustLang / #Cargo builds seem to run very slow on my #Framework AMD system. They didn't take anywhere near as long on my old Intel system. Looking at btop it only seems to use one thread during #compile, am I missing something?

in general I really love my #framework laptop, it looks and feels great.

the battery is an exception though, doesn't last > 2/3 hours and sometimes laptop just powers off when it ostensibly has ~30% battery left.

#nuejs looks way too ambitious to be taken seriously. I might be absolutely wrong tho. Also why does the creator keeps calling it "Perfect web framework" ? There is no such thing as "perfect" and you shouldn't resort to such "marketing" gimmick when you called out #tailwind for misleading marketing (still hate tailwind anyway)

FedEx appears to have boned me on my @frameworkcomputer 16 delivery; it was getting closer until they took it from Winnipeg to Memphis (wat), and now it's marked "Delayed" and nothing is updating.

This was after CanadaPost boned me on my RAM/storage delivery by not actually attempting to deliver it (and the carried lied about that). At least I was able to pick it up?

I really wanted to put it together this weekend. Sigh.

My Framework laptop is here! ✨ It's a modular, repairable laptop that I've been hearing really good things about!

This is the "DIY edition", so let's assemble all the pieces together!

Perhaps try Easyeffects to pimp the sound.
