#2OK, so first the DongleHider (1 device), now the DongleHider+ (3 devices, although I think many beyond the originally intended Logitech transceiver won't fit?). Can't wait to see what Gillette-style innovation the end of the month will bring!
Meanwhile, if you have dongle management problems on a truly grand scale, there's always something like https://www.seh-technology.com/uk/products/usb-dongle-server...

for dongleserver ProMAX® it looks like you now have another problem. Where to get a server room and wired connection to your laptop.
This looks like yak shaving :)

A USB dongle server? It's missing the "April 1st" disclaimer somewhere, right?
What is the use case of this box?

Dongles in this case refer to hardware license keys for enterprise software, not wireless peripherals.

#8I love the concept of Framework, the concept of upgradeable laptops and computers is genius! Say you have a budget that only allows for an i5, but instead of buying a new laptop when it comes time to upgrade, you could just buy the i7 from Frameworks.
At least, that's how it comes off as from Linus Tech Tips. I haven't been around for the new updates from Frameworks, though I remember they release a new laptop and got rid of the older ones, correct?

Franework probably is ok if you can buy it. From their site: " If you are purchasing Framework products from a EU country outside of that list, you can still place an order shipping to one of the EU countries on the list, but you will be responsible for organizing and paying for any logistics and shipping to the final country in the EU"
So actually I'm wrong, you can buy it, just fly over to Germany and pick it up yourself!
Does anyone know what's up with this? Why are they so actively trying to prevent people from buying their stuff?

Is it more like they must follow these steps to comply with EU regulation? What is it like for transactions from other countries such as Japan, Canada, and the US?
