  • It probably won’t be.

    Not only is the agreement between the UK and Mauritius on the brink of collapsing (bizarrely, the UK is trying to get rid of territory and Mauritius doesn’t particularly want it very much), but there’s so much reliance on the .io domain that it’s unlikely to be removed.

    Especially because tech giants like Google, Microsoft, and Apple make use of it.









  • I love the Framework project, and want one, but my god do you pay a premium for the modularity.

    A Framework 13 with a 7840U, 512gb SSD, 16GB RAM costs £1400.

    I can get a different laptop with equivalent specs (but with a much better OLED display) for £670, £620 for a Grade A refurbished one. I didn’t look hard. Literally the first result when I searched “7840U” at a retailer.

    I love the modularity, but costing 2.1x as much is something I can’t justify.
