Windows people! I noticed that M$ recommends my display be scaled to 250% on this Windows 11 Dell laptopāis this typical of Windows these day?

Itās typically because the screen has a decent resolution but physically itās smaller than say a typical desktop monitor.. so 100% scaling makes icons and everything (icons, text, etc.) very physically small on the screen. Iām pretty sure the same is true of like a 27" 4k screen where gaming and 4k movies look awesome, but the win gui needs some.. inflation.

Sure but I am curious as to how common it is (mostly in our little community) as it has pretty large implications on things like app and web design.

Pretty sure my framework 17 has some scaling on.. like 175% at the very least. Iāll double check next time I pop it open.

im looking at it for my next laptop (mine is falling apart ā¦)
How do you like it? is it your daily driver?
I do like it.. I donāt drive a laptop daily.. more like once a month at best.. but when I do use it, I like it. Even though Iām a PC loyalist, I used a MacBook Air for the longest time as a travel computing device, and I got used to the battery life.. now every Windows laptop feels like itās on the verge of dying even with 100% battery.
Iām also biased because we are working on an NFC reader module that can slot into one (or both) of the spacers beside the keyboard;
The prototype readers I have in my FW17 still need firmware tweaks to maximize performance, so to use them at all with my implants I need RSP stickers on both.. but they do work.
No ETA on release.. currently looking for a firmware tweaking expert for the PN7462 NFC chip.

I travel a lot and got tired of not having everything i wanted on the go, so i have been 100% laptop for a while now.
The repairability and flexibility is a plus for me (ive been through too many cases over the years).
the side panel is an awesome idea, might even convince me to not use the numpad ā¦
didnt realized they had a 17ā, does it have more than the 2 spacers?

they donāt. iām a dumbass. itās a framework 16.
nope just the two, one on either side of the keyboard

thanks, i like my numpad, and i really like their macrop pad ā¦ but they take both spacer spaces
have you thought about combining the macropad with your reader pad?
could have a reader functionality with custom macros when certain cards are read ā¦ or different macros when you press a button on the module and read the tag 
Interesting concept for sure. I think step one is just getting a functional reader though. After thatās wildly successful and we have tons of money, release a version two with macros included

Itās been typical since Winbugs 10ā¦ But I think that Satya Nadella is going blind because they increased the default size of everything with Win 11. I prefer to keep the UI small TBH.

Got the Chakram Core out to test:
Not badā¦ And I absolutely love the shape! If only they made a lightweight wireless version with a multi-device dongle. This mouse was a freebie and I wouldāve bought the wireless version instead. However, I donāt see a reason to buy it now as I got used to lighter mouses and donāt want to wase USB ports to get the 1kHz polling rate.
And I gave the Razer IntelliMouse clone another try. I know that the DAv3HS is smaller than the original Microsoft one so thing might be different with the real thing, but this one makes my hand hurt. Razer does make a larger one, but it uses a high speed dongle thatās big and requires a USB cable. So itās unwieldy for use with a laptop.
I managed to get the Razer stuff to behave a little better now that I updated the firmware on my access points. Which is nice because I donāt want to spend money to replace perfectly good hardware because some company canāt develop firmware.
On a side note, Iām kinda sad that most mouses nowadays are either a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of the Microsoft IntelliMouse, or a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy of the Logitech Superlightā¦ A bunch of chinise companies gained traction by doing this, and everyone appears to be doing the same now. But I donāt see the point in buying something with no originality and with no artistry.

well ā¦ after a LOT of testing, head hake and hair pulling, i learned that the RP15 ācanā do ODSP if and only if it is purchased for and unlocked in the firmware at the factory ā¦ thanks HID ā¦

If this will be released I might get a framework laptop then.
Are there also plans for a Low Frequency RFID module?

No plans for an LF module.. what would it do?
Possibly unlocking the laptop like a keyboard reader or just a normal reader, so the same as the HF module. Or I misunderstood something
