The Framework Laptop has a firmware update problem — but maybe not for long?
I didn’t realize it’d failed to deliver so many updates ‘til I read this Ars Technica story. The good news: hardware partner Compal now has a whole firmware team ready to go:
The goal, Patel says, is to continuously cycle through all of Framework’s actively supported laptops, updating each of them one at a time before looping back around and starting the process over again. Functionality-breaking problems and security fixes will take precedence, while additional features and user requests will be lower-priority.
FYI, Framework didn’t send me that promised Laptop 16 replacement to show it’d fixed issues before launch. Hope so!
