A Framework Laptop Hacking Story
When I was getting ready to flash again, I noticed an issue about the compiler version used to build the firmware binary. I followed the advice, but more importantly I noticed that the issue has been recently fixed, and in the resolution, the maintainer says "Next release (hx20 3.19, hx30 3.07) will include them". It reminded me of something crucial: the Framework EC firmware source code repo doesn't have any particular indication of its level of stability at any given commit. Which commits could be considered fully tested releases? What if the head of the branch introduces a bug that they're working on fixing?

What is the status of offering coreboot on the framework 13?
The EC code on the normal Framework devices is already based on the Chrome EC code anyway. https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/EmbeddedController

Can I disable Intel ME / is there open source firmware?
EC firmware is open sourced by framework: https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/EmbeddedController

Framework announces AMD, new Intel gen, 16“ laptop and more
There the keyboard input is handled by the embedded controller: https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/EmbeddedController/blob...
On the 16 the keyboard is a USB keyboard that could even be used standalone, without the laptop.
- Fans not controllable?

Problem with `ectool`: `Cannot open lockfile /run/lock/cros_ec_lockCould not acquire GEC lock.`
I tried the pre-compiled `ectool` from the TamtamHero's repository as we and comiled the EmeddedController from Framework (from this repository). Both give the same error message.

The (GNU/)Linux rabbit hole has been a negative influence on my mental state
Great reminder that (as of right now) we're far removed from hardware that is 100% free (as in freedom). The closest we've got is probably provided by Raptor Computing Systems. However not everyone in the world is privileged enough to own such devices unfortunately. And I haven't dabbled into other possible mishaps that come with using such devices. The lack of "free-hardware" is a major concern though. I'd argue that there aren't enough reasons to be optimistic about this as of right now. Therefore our best bet is to not let good be the enemy of perfect; light at the end of the tunnel...

Fan Control
As far as I'm aware the only way to manually change the fan speed is using `ectool` from https://github.com/FrameworkComputer/EmbeddedController/

Framework Laptop 16 pre-orders are now open
Yes, you can use QMK tools like VIA to reconfigure, or even just modify the firmware. It's all open source: https://github.com/frameworkcomputer/qmk_firmware
- Why aren’t smaller laptop companies experimenting with qmk?
