I should have been more specific. Yes it’s the Secure Pocket Rocket
Loving the continuous transparency from Framework. Bought one for myself, when my father needed a new laptop got him onto the framework bandwagon. Now my wife has informed me to start budgeting - she wants one next year. Their behaviour to date is why I’m willing to get behind them & their products.
Dual booting Mint & Windows. Working a treat
How performant does it need to be? What’s the nature of the read/write behaviour? If it fits the profile of “fast USB drive” then you could potentially get away with 2 of these (https://frame.work/au/en/products/storage-expansion-card?v=FRACCFBZ02) configured in software raid and boot your OS off the internal nvme. That said, I feel you’d get more mileage with a second hand (and cheap!) micro PC for your paperless instance and save the framework as a laptop

Never had any issues with the unit. As mentioned I have an old 4x4 with an aftermarket head unit (Sony XAV-AX5000) and have never experienced any audio issues. This car is our family “adventure vehicle” so we use it for long road trips and camping adventures - in short when it gets driven it’s often for a longer multi-hour journey, with music playing the whole way
No stress, glad I pointed you down a hopefully workable path. Good luck mate 😉 And yes the US tax. Purchased mine from Amazon US, I’m down in Australia. Even with the higher cost it has been an absolute joy even with my single-phone use case.
I haven’t tried the multiple phone song and dance on the unit. It lives in my old 4x4 which my wife refuses to drive.
We do have a similar issue with our other car however '05 Subaru Forester (non Android Auto). It randomly connects phones - as in I can be sitting in the car, start up to go somewhere and the car connects to my wife’s phone while she and it are in the house. The only reliable option I’ve found (only practical if we’re both in the car) is to quickly tap Bluetooth off on one phone before starting the car. If your Honda is starting with a Bluetooth connection, then I’m guessing the same solution should work.
Screenshots of the config screen attached. I’m not connected to the unit right now, hence the error message.
Get the AAWireless instead 😉

Was a genuine challenge. I ended up purchasing a copy for my whole family so everyone can use it.

Where Signal is secure - Threema is private and secure (e2e encrypted, uses PFS but doesn’t need your phone number for sign ups. You can be 100% anonymous should you wish)
Satisfactory.

Started on lemmy.ml, when they were experiencing some performance issues I decided to “be distributed” away from one of the main instances. Decided on one geographically in my home country.

Great recommendation on AnonAddy. I know what I’ll be seeing up tonight.
I went way overboard speccing mine so thenAussie tax was a big hit. Including the RAM & SSDs I sourced separately, over $5K 😭 I find the FW13 is reasonable comparable to similar 13in laptops, but the FW16 is pricier than comparable 16in laptops. Windows ones that is. As I’ve specced it its a total bargain compared to a 16in Macbook. That said, I was willing to eat the price difference for the modularity, the potential for future upgrades & to back Framework’s mission.
Also yes, I’m also desperately waiting for the release of an oculink module.
