> Surprised, that no laptop company other than framework decided to help the author of curl
I’m not trying to downplay what they did but…
- He bought the laptop at full price using crowd-funded money. They didn’t provide the laptop
- They sent a nice thank you card, some swag, and 6 USB-C dongles (his laptop only supports 4 and he already bought the dongles he needed)
Again, it was very nice of them and the author acknowledges that. However, it sure seems like they shipped him some e-waste (what is he going to do with the extra modules? He couldn’t use them all even if he wanted).
So did they help him? Ehh, debatable but it is sad that even what they did do was of note to something that is so important and valuable to the internet.
What would've rather been better imo was if they could've rather cheapened the price of the laptop to some discounted price.
I mean, I agree with your statement. But I guess a thank you card really touched the author's heart and might touch my heart too but if they could've cheapened the price, that would've been more excellent imo.
