It’s always a shame such cool positions are US only. Would love to find some of these kind of companies in the EU (or more US positions that more easily allow non-US workers)

Can you please blog a bit on origins of framework? I read in press releases elsewhere that you 3D printed the prototype laptop. It'd be very interesting to see how such startups get off the ground. Given that multiple tech-shops have tried and binned plans for modular hardware, framework's early success is remarkable... yet, the story of its nascent stages remain elusive.

Is this the company that re-invented the PCMCIA slot, but completely proprietary?
Can something be open source and proprietary?
Is there a miniature ASIO soundcard planned for one of the slots? Not needing to carry an external audio interface around when working within a DAW is a major factor that's keeping me on MacOS (both pro audio and consumer use the same driver there).
This website showed to me in French while I have my browser in English and am in the Netherlands. If I want to switch to Dutch, it won't let me. My basic understanding of French is that this product is not yet available in my country. Still horrible experience. Why not show me the English page? This website makes the wrong assumption someone's language is tied to the location.
This is a bit of a premature "remote debugging" done, though.
From what I see, they use Solidus and Rails as backend. This does not rule out your conclusion. But it is not a typical thing: in Rails (and Spree, from which Solidus is forked) it is, for example, far easier to read out the `Accept-Language` header than to do geo-ip language detection. It is easier to the right thing than the bad. Again: not saying this makes it guaranteed the cause.
More likely causes: location-based caching (you got a cached version which was generated using French), or same thing with a CDN.
More likely, because with Rails (and Solidus, and Spree) it is easy to make too-simple-caches, easier to ignore a parameter when building a cache, than to do right thing.
Pros: - price. I have spare RAM and NVME ssd so this brings the price further down - modular port...
Cons: - display/hinge is not very stable - touch pad is not as good as macbook's. I can't reliably click-and-drag using a singe hand (thumb finger to click, then index finger to drag). On macbook this gesture works perfectly fine.
Wish there is a bigger version, and/or a swappable battery!
Love my Framework. Barring Apple's recent move away from the touchbar it's honestly the first machine I've been excited about in 6 or so years. The build quality is great, love the simplicity and design of the expansion ports, and the repair/upgrade-ability is huge. It's gotten me back into using Linux as a daily driver. I really hope they stay true to their vision and that this means expanding it into other consumer…
