@frame.work I know Framework doesn't like to talk about new products until they're ready - but I haven't seen any mention of Framework + Intel Panther Lake in the CES 2026 coverage I watched last week. Anything you can share, or links you could point me to where there was any coverage?

Midnight Diner available on Netflix is beautiful, haunting, affecting. Subtitles not dubbing. Poetry of the city from a great Japanese director. www.netflix.com/watch/80113542

A scarred man operates a midnight diner in the backstreets of Shinjuku. No one knows his name or his story, but his customers each bring him theirs.

This week: we execute a U.S. citizen.
Next week: we take over elections to stop “fraud.”
It's so transparent what's going on here.

The Boston Dynamics Atlas bot is the one CES thing I saw this week that genuinely "wowed" me. And I love their VP's quote... "Well, it's not a human," he said. "It projects the wrong first impression about a robot to have it pretend to be something that it's not." www.cnet.com/tech/computi...
I Got Up Close and Personal With Boston Dynamics' New Atlas Robot
Before Atlas takes its first steps into the world of work later this year, I found myself face-to-face with CES 2026's most talked-about robot on the show floor.

In the 30 years I've spent professionally watching and participating in the tech community, I don't think I've ever seen such an overall malaise and depressed reaction to the announcements coming out of #CES.
Even the smallest bits of excitement seem to be tainted by AI and tech industry greed.

This reckless move by the Trump Administration has nothing to do with science or informed choice – it’s about appeasing a debunked anti-vaccine agenda being pushed by RFK Jr. and his allies.
I strongly condemn this decision that puts infants and children at real risk.

Imagine being Sen. Mark Kelly today.
A former astronaut, who spent 54 days in space for his country, a retired Navy pilot and combat Vet who flew 39 high-risk missions in battle, and whose retirement benefits are now being taken by a drunken frat boy like Pete Hegseth.

@winboat.app @bazzite.gg Winboat and Bazzite friends - we need you two to give each other a high-five and build us a flatpak version to use cleanly on Bazzite. Immutable OSes are fantastic, but the Wine and Bottles experience hasn't been great...I think Winboat can be the thing that fills the gap.

Can't help but feel like this is one of the reasons why the Constitution says If a dude in office does an insurrection, don't let that motherfucker hold office again
Bc clearly they cannot be trusted with power & control over the levers of government, & they do not care about democratic constraints
