I have repaired a lot of laptops in the past. The repairability depends on the price and the brand. But most of them are repairable. The issue is often first finding the part number and the correct part on the right website. With some luck the manufacturer has a manual available for finding part numbers and repair steps. But most of the time YouTube is where you end up. What I mean is, with other laptops the repair success depends on more variables. The framework laptops stand out because of the ease of the repair process and the success rate of the repairs. Finding the right part number and part online and the guide to actually repair the laptop and the actual replacing is also easy the parts are designed to be easily replaced. It is also possible to send them the broken part back for recycling, how they to that I haven't looked into yet. The i/o is nice the fact that you can change and decide later to add more ports For the average user this is not the big sell feature. It's the fact that you can save money and still have your device, have minimal downtime. I compared laptops of the same specs or very close to. The added price is between 100 and 200 euros. You'll be happy you spent that extra when your laptop eventually had a hardware malfunction. Or can use an upgrade.

Honestly all new lenovos have been giving me issues, webcams break, stop charging, except for those black thinkpads.. This one suddenly decided to go display Chinese text and display goes black randomly

Yes 95% of the time, original English audio track with subtitles and then local language. Except for the french versions, if I remember correctly those only had french dub as audiotrack. Could be wrong though we never bought/had those. When my parents were still in charge of tv time they put on the original version even if the original audio was something other than English and turned on local language subtitles. To practice other languages.

It's can be in every product that contains talc since the two ingredients talc and asbestos are naturally found close together. Some make up contains talc and can contain low amounts of asbestos.

Thank you all for giving honest advice, I will stick with what I have, Gluetun and Windscribe.

Hi, In short: will I run the risk of receiving an angry Hetzner e-mail telling me to stop downloading torrents when I configer my local deluge client to connect through a local gluetun VPN client to a selfhosted wireguard vpn on a hetzner server? I have limited knowledge of VPNs but as far as I understand it the connection provided through gluetun from client to server (vpn) is safe, encrypted, private (somewhat) But connections from the (vpn) server to the public tracker is not, right? Or does the vpn tunnel extend to the destination? Context: I am running a deluge torrent client to download and seed torrents coming from radarr and sonarr its all running containerized through docker on my local machine. The Deluge client is using a VPN connection (via Windscribe) through a gluetun vpn client. `https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun.
I am not very happy with the speeds of Windscribe and I have small Hetzner server running with a wireguard vpn container I got working, that I hope should provide a faster download/upload speed.

Hetzner is pretty strict when it comes to downloading torrents from public trackers. A couple of years ago I basically had my plex server and a deluge client running on one of their servers. At first I used only private trackers but some content was not available so I added some torrents from public trackers. A couple of days after I got an angry e-mail from viacom through hetzner telling to quit it.

Does anyone self host their VPN and on what? And do you use it for downloading?
