    Framework says new Laptop 13 Pro has more Netflix battery life than an M5 MacBook Pro.

    20 hours of 4K Netflix, says CEO Nirav Patel. It’s got a Core Ultra 3 chip, a 22 percent larger and denser battery, a custom 30-120Hz VRR screen and LPCAMM2 compression mounted memory. Full story coming soon.

    Stick a 10Gbps port into your Framework Desktop or Laptop.

    It’s even bigger than Framework’s existing 2.5Gbps expansion card, and will definitely stick out the side of your machine. But it’s fast! (Framework gave up on foldable Ethernet ports when it turned out their internals were too chunky, BTW.) The company isn’t yet saying how much it’ll cost.

    If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may earn a commission. See our ethics statement.

    “The industry wants you to own nothing and be happy. We want you to own everything and be free.”

    That’s Framework CEO Nirav Patel, with a message that’s sure to resonate with his modular computer company’s fanbase. He briefly joked that Framework would announce “Framework AI” today.

    Watch Framework launch ‘next gen’ modular gadgets right here at 10:30a PT / 1:30p ET.

    We’re here at Framework’s Next Gen event in San Francisco, and you can follow along with the livestream. It’s been teasing a lot of Linux: what do you think we’re about to see?

    Steam running natively on a Nintendo Switch.

    In December, we explained how Valve architected a push for Windows games on Arm — the Steam Frame is just the tip of the iceberg. Now, Valve’s released a public beta of Steam for Arm+Linux (download link) — and one person’s already got it running on a rooted Switch! Can’t play games yet, though.

    “We all have days like this.”

    Just press play. Trust me. Also see this! And maybe this. I would absolutely pay for tickets to watch this live.

    Netgear and the FCC have not responded to our emails.

    It’s been 24 hours. I tried them again five hours ago too. Note that we did not ask if Netgear “bribed the government” to escape the router ban as readers keep suggesting, or anything like that. We simply asked if Netgear followed the FCC’s own rules by submitting a detailed plan for US manufacturing.
