I wanted to get a Framework laptop, but the wait times were over 3 months. I don't have that kind of forward planning.

As much as I hate tech corporations, I don't really agree that the Macbook Pro is "built to work against you". Mostly it's a great laptop that serves my needs really well. It's mildly annoying that I'm paying for integration with a whole Apple ecosystem that is of no value to me (no iPhone, no iCloud), but it's nothing like intrusive marketing shitscape that is Windows.

This is exactly why Apple is thriving. People have no patience, and are not willing to wait or compromise on anything to get their powerful laptop right now.

I'd like to buy a Framework since 2+ years, but they don't ship to where I live so tough luck i guess :(
