    Reference designs and documentation to create Expansion Cards for the Framework Laptop

  • When it's time for me to upgrade I'll go with one of the framework machines. [0] It's fully customizable, with room for future upgrades. I've been looking into a Dell machine for a while, but they just seem to have too many issues.

    For what it's worth, I'm currently using an m1 macbook, and the battery life is absolutely incredible.

  • ndk

    The Android Native Development Kit

  • > And ARM compatibility issues not really helping

    There were two things I wanted to try on my MBP w/ M1 - compiling an Android app that has some C code, and also to run Fidelity's Active Trader Pro program (not that I would use it that actively). I also installed the Rosetta stuff it prompted for.

    The Active Trader Pro program would not run.

    In Android Studio, the production version can not compile with CMake as it can on Intel-based Macs yet ( https://github.com/android/ndk/issues/1299 ). They say there is stuff in the beta/alpha/canary branches where it is working, but I am not in a rush and will wait for that to make its way into production.

    > It’s good, fast

    Yes, I did see the speed, especially with a normal Kotlin/Java Android Studio compile, on 16GB RAM.
