That's the way to do it. I just wish Framework had a better selection of modules available and had more module bays on their laptops.

I just wish the existing dongles had a bit more density to them. That's a lot of space for a micro-SD slot, they totally could have fit a full SD card in there as well, and perhaps even a micro-USB or headphone jack.

I like being able to swap them, but each USB-C port can handle a lot more than a single-use dongle.

Is a dongle that doesn’t dangle even really a dongle at all?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 hours ago

Doubtful.

What module would you like to have.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 9 hours ago* (last edited 9 hours ago) (2 children)

I would like RS-232 and RS-485 modules and a full size SD card reader would be nice too. It's probably something I would end up building myself if I get a Framework laptop.

Edit: It looks like they have an SD card module now, nice.

I 3d printed a dongle that has a Logitech receiver in it. All their design files are online, so you can make your own pretty easily.

Oh, damn, that's a game changing idea there.

What would you do with RS-232 and RS-485?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 hour ago

UART consoles and model train control systems come to mind.

Hook up my US Robotics 56k modem and dial up to the internet, where I can chat with hot babes

After your training to become a cage fighter, I presume?

I have a 485 adapter in my bag for BACnet and Modbus communications.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

-485 is superior. Everyone knows it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

And what the hell, add RS-422 while you're at it. And a parallel port! And the left side expansion port they used to have on the Amiga 500 and 1000!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 hours ago

And some ISDN BRI ports. And ATM and FDDI. And something I can do X.25 over. Oh, and Token Ring.
