Framework is giving out 100 Mainboards to "creators and developers"

I’m a fan of Framework computers, an attempt to make a modular, user-repairable line of computers. I use a Framework laptop as my daily driver. They just announced a program to give away 100 Mainboards (with an i5-1135G7 processor) to people who can do something creative with them. Besides being a replacement or upgrade component for laptops like mine, this can be used as a standalone system. You’d need to add a case, memory power supply, and peripherals like monitor/keyboard/mouse.

Creating something cool with this is beyond my skills, but perhaps someone else at Generator can make use of this.

wowow! It’d be awesome to see if Generator can apply for one directly. I’d be interested in facilitating this if i find the time.
