What I am saying is that the current soldered CPU approach on laptop space is not that different from switching an ARM SoC on a daughter board. The only difference is that you cannot change RAM. Maybe that too will change as you said with CAMM standard. Next is that some SBC already supported PCIe for external M.2 storage, so you can theoretically hook up a removable GPU there.

Now, what to do with the old SoC daughter board? The same as with the old framework motherboard. You can repurpose it as another computer.

The point is, framework repairability comes not only from part swapping, but also the promise of providing schematic for board level repair. They can totally make ARM based laptops with SoC repairable if they wanted to. But I suspect they will not (at least in the near future) since there is a lot to do for them.

I mean, what is the difference between the current SoC and the soldered CPU? Sure you can save on upgrading RAM, but then what else? Especially if the SoC has PCIe. They can make a daughter board for the SoC to make it simpler to upgrade if they want, alà pi compute module.

Technically they could by manually verifying the cert from somewhere offline.

No, I do not since I am an individual which has no need for such high security/trust. A military of a certain nation certainly could (and probably should tbh). But I could if I wanted to, and I can't say the same for iOS. The difference with open source is that I can choose if I trust them or see it for myself instead.

Korea has the capabilities to make an android phone (Samsung). I'm pretty sure they can make Android with vetted source code and hardware. iPhone is just trust me bro™

Yeah, and that is true for a lot of service. Sybil attack is indeed quite hard to prevent since malicious users can blend with legitimate ones.

Federation means if you are federated then sure you get some BS. Otherwise, business as usual. Now, making sure there is no paid user or corporate bot is another matter entirely since it relies on instance moderators.

Damn, nice idea to spare 10GB for investment. With how cheap storage is, I think that model is indeed a win win. I mean, how often do you receive 100MB+ attachment?

If you are talking about WebPush, technically the browser company provides the backing server

Alright, this is the one! OMG thank you so much, you just quench my hyper fixation!

I interpret the high as in high ranking wizard lol
