  • I have repaired a lot of laptops in the past. The repairability depends on the price and the brand. But most of them are repairable. The issue is often first finding the part number and the correct part on the right website. With some luck the manufacturer has a manual available for finding part numbers and repair steps. But most of the time YouTube is where you end up. What I mean is, with other laptops the repair success depends on more variables. The framework laptops stand out because of the ease of the repair process and the success rate of the repairs. Finding the right part number and part online and the guide to actually repair the laptop and the actual replacing is also easy the parts are designed to be easily replaced. It is also possible to send them the broken part back for recycling, how they to that I haven’t looked into yet. The i/o is nice the fact that you can change and decide later to add more ports For the average user this is not the big sell feature. It’s the fact that you can save money and still have your device, have minimal downtime. I compared laptops of the same specs or very close to. The added price is between 100 and 200 euros. You’ll be happy you spent that extra when your laptop eventually had a hardware malfunction. Or can use an upgrade.

  • First I wish this war was over already. And for Ukraine’s sovereign borders to be restored to the original 2014 ones. You are skipping a lot of factors, like offensive actions being more difficult and more costly compared to defending. First example of that bakhmut a couple of months ago. How many Wagnerites lost while going on an offensive? 20k according to chief orc himself https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2023/5/25/wagner-chief-says-20000-of-its-troops-killed-in-bakhmut-battle that’s with old school meat grinder kill everyone who retreats tactics. So 20k is a low, low estimate.

    I think you are referencing an Asia times article…it’s a stretch to say the least. For one not naming these “observers”. https://asiatimes.com/2023/06/is-the-ukrainian-offensive-another-kursk/

    They mention themselves that there is no resemblance to the battle in terms of armor, artillery, aircraft or manpower. I wonder what is left to compare then.

    Ukraine has no air superiority and cannot call in helicopters or airstrikes at the same rate as Russia.

    From the article:

    “The Nazi attempt to capture and defeat the Soviet forces at Kursk in western Russia was a massive undertaking, one that bears, in terms of armor, artillery, aircraft and manpower, no real resemblance in scale to the battle now raging in the Zaporizhzhya area. But by other measures there is a comparison to be made.”

    "In the Kursk battle, both sides deployed their air forces. Overall, the Luftwaffe had significant success on the battlefield – but at a very high cost. The Luftwaffe deployed fighters, ground attack aircraft and bombers. "

    Wait but they’re mentioning aircraft I thought this wasn’t a metric to compare the current counter offensive with.

    Oh found one, the whole front in zaporizhzhia is mined, true, the one comparison with Kursk.

    “In the 1943 Kursk battle, mines also played a big role. But Wehrmacht anti-tank weapons and Panzer tanks were more important, killing Russian tanks in far greater numbers than the Russians could match in their destruction of German tanks.”

    What an article, it’s also the only one I found mentioning “counter offensive ukraine battle of kursk” when I searched on Google on duckduckgo and Kagi.

    Not sure what your motivation is, you wished it was going faster? Ukraine is doing fine considering the circumstances*. You wanted to regurgitate some bad article into a low effort Kremlin propaganda message? Why? Your fake tsar Putine just showed the whole world he’s a pussy by first claiming he would show everyone how tough he would be to they who stabbed him in the back. Proceeded to fly to st Petersburg bunker and sending his bitch lukashenko to take care of another war criminal. While kadyrovites turned up late but made a TikTok anyways. There’s nothing left, the whole world saw that humiliating Putine, did not result in ANY action. He caved, and the tsar became a 🐓

    *Circumstances, no air superiority, 4 different tank platforms to maintain, times the amount of ifv platforms and artillery. Something we forget, no navy, less electronic warfare hardware. Being cruise missiled every night, on civilian and military targets. Ammo shortages, as in cannot fire wall of fire amount of shells like the Russians do. No where near the same amount of bodies to throw into the battle.


  • "14 Statement by the press service of the President

    The Republic of Belarus.

    This morning, Russian President Vladimir Putin briefed his Belarusian counterpart on the situation in southern Russia with the private military company Wagner. The heads of state agreed on joint actions.

    As a follow-up to the agreements, the President of Belarus, having additionally specified the situation through his own channels, and in agreement with the President of Russia, held talks with the head of PMC Wagner Yevgeny

    Prigogine.

    Negotiations continued throughout the day. As a result, they came to agreements on the inadmissibility of unleashing a bloody massacre on the territory of Russia. Yevgeny Prigozhin accepted the proposal of the President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko to stop the movement of armed persons of the Wagner company on the territory of Russia and take further steps to de-escalate tensions.

    At the moment, on the table is an absolutely profitable and acceptable option for solving the situation, with security guarantees for the Wagner PMC fighters.

    As previously reported, also during today, the President of Belarus held two meetings with the power bloc of the country on this situation."
