The Framework laptops can be easily upgraded and/or repaired by just about anybody who can watch a YouTube video. It is indeed possible to buy a base model and then upgrade it later.

Keep in mind however that you can't just replace the CPU, but you have to replace the whole mainboard. Other components can be swapped at will, like RAM, SSD, Display, camera and microphone module, hinges, ... Then of course there are the modules that you can easily swap without even opening the laptop, and can give you different ports, card readers, storage or custom modules (diy projects for example).

The build quality is quite solid on my FW13, the keyboard is decent and the trackpad is quite good. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one if the need arises...

If you like classical music, give qobuz a try... High quality audio, large selection of classical music.

When you create a tidal account they tell you how to transfer your playlists automatically via a 3rd party service (Limited to 500 tracks, unless you pay). Qobuz does the same, but if I'm not mistaken actually partners with the 3rd party service to offer it for free without the 500 track limit.

That's another advantage of the faired ones. They draw more attention and in the event that you do crash, they offer some protection as well.

Damn, Boeing is really on fire lately!

Indeed, props to OP for caring about their neighbours. In some countries motorcycles are banned on certain roads because of the nuisance.

When riding through built-up areas I try to keep the noise down on my ICE bike (which isn't that loud to begin with, BMW R1200RT), but ideally I take my electric bike. So much fun to ride without disturbing other people's peace and quiet. That also means that I can ride it any way I like, because hard acceleration is about as quiet as normal riding.

I don't remember it being that bad on my 1070 mobile laptop (8th gen Intel i5 H if I'm not mistaken), but it was sub 25 fps also. On my PC it ran better, but after upgrading to a 3080 with a 5800X3D was when it ran smoothly at higher resolutions, although the game also had received some updates by then.

I had some cars that were following an invisible road above where the real road was a few times, and although that broke immersion a bit, I also still had a lot of fun with the game.

You're certainly right about that!

Honestly though, I believe the early issues with the game were mostly on consoles. On a decently specced PC, the game would run nicely right after launch, with some bugs, but nothing game breaking. I got it right after launch day and enjoyed myself quite a bit with it. The police and the way the cars drove were the things that bothered me the most.

This is the way

I was sceptical at first too, but a not-paid-for search engine will either have ads, paid results or try to monetize the search data in some way. I feel it helps me find what I need, better than the alternatives I tried, and I like the features and configuration options it has.
