That's the way to do it. I just wish Framework had a better selection of modules available and had more module bays on their laptops.

Is a dongle that doesn’t dangle even really a dongle at all?

I guess they have to be the same, so they all have to be the maximum width of anything you might want to put in there.

I just wish the existing dongles had a bit more density to them. That's a lot of space for a micro-SD slot, they totally could have fit a full SD card in there as well, and perhaps even a micro-USB or headphone jack.

I like being able to swap them, but each USB-C port can handle a lot more than a single-use dongle.

Right?! If you’re going through the all trouble of mass producing the modules, etc., make them worth it. As it is, it’s a bunch of expensive squares.

What module would you like to have.

[-] cmnybo@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

I would like RS-232 and RS-485 modules and a full size SD card reader would be nice too. It's probably something I would end up building myself if I get a Framework laptop.

Edit: It looks like they have an SD card module now, nice.

I 3d printed a dongle that has a Logitech receiver in it. All their design files are online, so you can make your own pretty easily.

[-] BearOfaTime@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

Oh, damn, that's a game changing idea there.

[-] ramenshaman@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

What would you do with RS-232 and RS-485?

Hook up my US Robotics 56k modem and dial up to the internet, where I can chat with hot babes

And what the hell, add RS-422 while you're at it. And a parallel port! And the left side expansion port they used to have on the Amiga 500 and 1000!

[-] ripcord@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

And some ISDN BRI ports. And ATM and FDDI. And something I can do X.25 over. Oh, and Token Ring.
