Reply to Jonathan P
Reply @Jonathan P! There's this whole all caps thing in the doc it seems...
  Daniel K
Thanks, Daniel K! Any chance for a Framework Fire Stick? Better yet, HexTVOS: an appliance-style OS for any ARM or x86 PC with CEC. Does this already exist? ESHtek x Framework?
 
Reply to Daniel K
Reply @Daniel K! That would be sick honestly. Not to my knowledge though.
  GREGORY S

Reply to Josh P
Reply @Josh P! Maybe as a helper tool, but the responsibility is on the person checking it. If not, then massive fines and liability for anyone using it. Not wrist slaps. Like gross revenue %.
  Eric B

Reply to Eric B
Reply @Eric B! I think we were considering water cooling our editors again, but tech house might be a fun thing to do too.
  James M
Thanks, James M! Will lmg do a 60-70% cotton and polyester blend? I know you have done 100% cotton shirt before but I don't like how hot it can get. However, ltt's fitment with half of each IS a great fit for me.
 
Reply to James M
Reply @James M! Might be something to ask support. I think Linus has talked about this before and the blend is working better.

Reply to Joseph M
