Yes, I can only imagine that they would make this gen 2 product compatible with their gen 1. And that gen 1 products can be reused or repurposed for other tasks. A Framework NAS would be pretty neat.

“only threat” is “ourself”.

Ah, so projection? Again?
Cable Internet
Gross.
Do yourself a favour and switch to fibre. Go with Distributel who can give you a 500 Mbps plan for under $45, and you’ll get faster pings, higher upload speeds, and stable 500 Mbps downloads.
I switched from Rogers to Bell to Distributel and couldn’t be happier. 1 Gbps plans are a waste of money for 99% of people, so save money anyway going to the 500 plan.
My guess is a hand-held console like the Steam Deck?
Not to sound pessimistic, but would there actually be demand for this? Seems very niche.
Even Steam Deck doesn’t have mind-blowing sales, and I find it unlikely that Framework could even get close to a fraction of the sales that SteamDeck has, unless they’ve actually partnered with Steam to market them.
I wish they’d just bring a repairable smartphone to North America.
Shared bike/pedestrian paths tend to be dangerous for both, because pedestrians tend to take up the whole width or jump right into the path of a bicycle or scooter.
Anecdotally, yes, I’ve experienced that happening.
Whether it’s statistically true that shared multi-use paths are more dangerous, I’m not sure. Data does suggest that wider is better.
But in my experience, conflicts are common when you have narrow shared pathways, or have shared infrastructure in places where bike/pedestrian paths aren’t normalized.
We have a section of trail along our waterfront that splits into a pedestrian and cycle path (dual lane) that’s separated by several meters of grass, bushes, and trees. This is well away from any roadways.
While this might seem ideal, I can’t tell you how many times you get cyclists in the pedestrians on the wrong path, which creates even more conflicts because you’re expecting the separation.
Granted, there are parts of the world that have different forms of cyclist/pedestrian separation that I don’t have here, so I can’t comment to how effective other forms of trail design are.
Best practice around the world has been “make it as wide as you can”, and also having a centreline seems to reduce conflicts and speeds (interestingly enough!).
When I have experienced conflicts with pedestrians (while I’m riding my bike or e-scooter), it’s almost always because they are distracted, don’t have control of their dog/child, or are walking in a group of more than 3 people and taking up both lanes of the pathway. I rarely, if ever, experience conflicts in sections where the path is wide.
But perhaps the caveat of my experience is that I cycle defensively, always ring/call out when I pass, and never speed past pedestrians.
If the order to invade Canada went out tomorrow, much of the military would most likely revolt and depose the government.
Honestly, this would be the stuff of heros.
And if they don’t outright revolt, then they’ll forever be known as the army that supported another Nazi leadership. They would be a stain on human history for all time.
No, I’m saying I use a bike to go fast without a car.
For sure, but bike lanes (of any width) aren’t really designed for fast bikes. Granted, wide bike lanes (like in some areas in Montreal) would accommodate fast cyclists because you have a ton of space to pass slow riders.
Widening the lane and adding slow moving individuals increases the likely hood of an accident. Also makes the lane less usable by cyclists.
But we currently have the same users on very narrow lanes… how would widening it make the problem worse?
Yes, we would be inducing demand, but with wide lanes, this would be a non-issue.
If you want better infrastructure for those with disabilities widen the sidewalk where they are already safe.
In a perfect world, yes, I agree. Unfortuantely, you can’t have wide sidewalks and wide bike lanes and wide roads. There’s just not enough room or money for that.
If you build a very wide “bike lane” that replaces a sidewalk and standard bike lane at the same time, you can build more of them, and they’d be safer than having a narrow bike lane and narrow sidewalk.
The idea of bike lanes was to separate them from cars. How is making it a new sidewalk an improvement?
You’re still separated by more space :)
Ok, in this context, I don’t think that anyone is proposing simply building a wider bike lane next to cars. The ideal would be to do what other cities have done (Paris, Montreal, various cities in the Netherlands, etc.) and build “wide bike lanes” that are actually regular roads with no car access.
If you frame it as a need for cyclists, you get very little support (in fact, you get push back from NIMBYs and carbrains). However, when framed as an accessibility right for people in wheelchairs and mobility scooters, then you have more legal obligations to build this infrastructure up, and cyclists win at the same time.
Whatever it is, it’s not a repairable phone, so my interest is nearly gone. LOL
If it’s a new laptop, I really hope that the internal components can be swapped into their gen 1 chassis.
The idea of Framework is less waste, upgradability, etc. Having new products come out that aren’t compatible with older generations kind of defeats the point of their goal.
I’m not understanding. Are you saying that even with very wide bike lanes, you would be barrelling down it at 30km/h while other users were nearby?
Wider lanes doesn’t mean that we become inconsiderate. Wider lanes make things more accessible to a larger user base. We should still be moving along those lanes at a reasonable speed.
Unless I totally misunderstood what you’ve said.
I remember now, it was “Armor-Dilloz”. Never tried flatout, but the whole experience just left me unimpressed. I’ve been totally fine with bike tubes. Even on bikes that are used all year round, in +30 and -20 Celsius… no issues. No need to check them. Just inflate once in a while, and I’m good. LOL
We would need to be careful how we push back so he doesn’t have an excuse to start an actual war.
I don’t think a single unhinged lunatic in all of human history ever suddenly became reasonable because their victims began walking on eggshells. In fact, the opposite happens. Just ask his buddy, Putin.
Trump will do what he wants, no matter what our response is. So, we can tell the world that we will not cave to this madman, and hope that our allies back us up.
Either way, we lose hard by not doing anything or being too light in our response.
And yes, a war is possible - no matter what we do - that’s the unfortunate reality of having a lunatic in charge. We have the support of NATO if it comes to that. Trump will need to decide whether he wants to be dragged around town like Mussolini, or not.
And if you can’t buy Canadian, there’s nothing wrong with Not American products that come from our actual allies and friends from around the world.
edit: grammar… again
I honestly can’t stand when companies are vague or cryptic about product launches or pre-sales.
Don’t make people waste their time on a product they may not even be interested in. If you’ve got a new laptop coming, say so. And I’ll decide whether to invest time to look into whether it’s something I want.
I brought this up a few days ago.
It only makes sense to allow wheelchair and mobility scooter access to “bike lanes” (i.e. realistically, Multi-use paths), so that it actually remains protected and there’s some legal fist that forces places to expand on their networks.
They need to be wider by design, never mind this 1m bullshit when cars come within inches of hitting you. Give us “bike lanes” that are the width of a single car lane. That’s not asking for much.
I forgot the brand I used, but it was one of the “best” and most recommended at the time (only a few years back). It was purple.
On my current e-scooter, it runs tubeless by default, but has a gel liner, rather than liquid, so it self-heals without maintenance or mess. That would be awesome to have in a bike tire.
The only time I had a tubeless setup with liquid sealant was on an e-scooter.
Got a puncture, the sealant did not close the puncture but made a huge mess.
On my bikes, in well over 12,000 km, I’ve had only a single flat. And that flat was caused by rookie error when installing a new tube after replacing my tires.
I see no compelling reason to spend money on sealant, worry about topping it up, still needing to carry a tube, and also needing to carry a tubeless puncture kit.
Yeah, it’s really unfortunate that nearly all street-level imagery are either locked behind closed doors or have closed licenses.
I could use Mapillary, but that’s owned by META. The rest are so lacking that it’s not even worth the time to contribute to them or use their existing data set (but this is a chicken and egg situation).
Canada is where I’ve seen it.
Oh wow, that opened up a can of worms!
Yes, the user does seem to work for Lyft, and their profile has a few links. One leads to:
"We have 3 kinds of data that owned by Lyft:
“Lyft telemetry data" – Lyft drivers GPS tracks
“Lyft-owned street-level imagery” - photos collected by cameras installed in our drivers' vehicles. This data is updated frequently. Photos are not older than a year, and sometimes even a month.
"Lyft-owned aerial imagery" – As for now it is Nearmap imagery. They do allow us to use their imagery for OSM edits by license.
"
I guess that explains it! Thanks for putting me in the right direction. It’s a shame that they don’t share and grant an open license to that imagery. Seems more updated than Google Streetview, and since Lyft uses OSM data, it only seems right to share.
Yes, been using them for years. No real complaints. They are very quick to get back if you need support.
