I have a Synology device in my home that we had been planning to upgrade. They may have reversed the ban, but I think Synology has landed on my boycott-for-life list over this BS.
I've really wanted a Framework laptop ever since they became available, however as a power user with poor eyesight, anything less than 17" is an automatic deal-breaker for me. I need the text to be legible if a full page is displayed in a PDF reader that's snapped to fill half the screen.
I'm pretty sure that if there is a god, then the act of deliberately subverting what you believe to be his laws by exploiting what you perceive to be a technicality for your own convenience isn't going to work out in your favor in the end.
All my life, I've suffered from frequent (as in daily) headaches. I even have a photo of myself from my 10th birthday (or thereabouts), where you can visibly tell from how I'm holding my head that I had a headache. The nature and intensity of my headaches has changed over time.
In my 20's I discovered Excedrin (acetaminophen + caffeine) and, surprisingly, it not only worked, but worked very well. One tablet would kill most of headaches I was having at that time of my life in about 15 minutes.
Unfortunately, it stopped working for me by the time I was 30. It no longer has any noticeable effect.
Aspirin, Naproxen, Ibuprofin, and Tylenol 3 have no effect, either.
The latest version of PrivateInternetAccess doesn't seem to run (the window never opens).
I also could not get my wifi connection to use my local DNS server.
