Reply to comment by yelahneb in The Framework Laptop 16 promises the “holy grail” of upgradable graphics. by SUPRVLLAN

Eh by this cynical logic there'd be no companies selling hardwood furniture that lasts decades, or DE razors that you buy once and never replace, or Moka Pots whose only maintenance is a cheap rubber seal.

And yet all those things exist.

Are they niche? Maybe. But--and I know this is blasphemy to say in the tech industry--not every business needs to be a monopolizing decacorn.

I hear you. It's a balance, though - there are washing machines built 100 years ago that still work exactly as designed, but you gotta turn a crank.

I genuinely don't understand the point you're making. I thought we were talking about framework's business model.
