I'm a huge Framework fan but I worry that the upgradeability produces more e-waste rather than less. I already see Framework laptop owners tossing mainboards every generation. I think the e-waste angle is the weakest- I like the upgradeability because it saves me money. As a cheap bastard I almost see it as a challenge to use my devices for as long as possible.

That would be extremely stupid, especially after they released the case to turn the Framework mainboard into a mini PC.

You know people who are literally tossing old mainboards? I’d be happy to take one off of someone’s hands if they’d otherwise be throwing it away.
