Framework Desktop (2025) Review: Powerful, but perhaps not for everyone

The most obvious question is “Why?

Framework builds modular, repairable laptops that anyone can take apart and put back together again. It’s a big deal in an era where laptops are regularly sold as a single unit that, should one part break, goes in the trash. Since every part of a Framework machine can be

This puts it just behind the Xbox 360 (84 million) and well on the way to overtaking the PS3 (around 87 million) in lifetime sales.

 SanDisk and SK hynix join forces to standardize High Bandwidth Flash memory, a NAND-based alternative to HBM for AI GPUs — Move could enable 8-16x higher capacity compared to DRAM

SanDisk and SK hynix have announced they're collaborating on High Bandwidth Flash (HBF)—a potential alternative to traditional, DRAM-based HBM for AI GPUs. Instead of only relying on DRAM, HBF adds NAND to the memory stack, allowing for non-volatility that can cut energy (and thermal) costs, along with upping the storage capacity.

Show HN: Stasher – Burn-after-read secrets from the CLI, no server, no trust

Stasher is a tiny CLI tool that lets you share encrypted secrets that burn after reading — no accounts, no logins, no servers to trust.

I built it because I just wanted to share a password. Not spin up infra. Not register for some "secure" web app. Not trust Slack threads. Just send a secret.

Secrets are encrypted client-side with AES-256-GCM. You get a `uuid:key` token to share. Once someone reads it, it's gone. If they don't read it in 10 minutes, it expires and deleted.
