Tell HN: System76 has critical firmware issues unresolved for over 3 years
I am system76 lemur pro (lemp13) owner since dec24.<p>At the time when looking for a new linux laptop I came to hacker news looking for information. The framework laptop was the most recommended one, but they don't ship to my country, and second to it was system76, mainly because of their hacker-centric vision, which I wanted to support.<p>Bought the best my money +shipping+taxes could afford. 56 GB ram.<p>On August 2025 started having problems with the fan, looking for help found this issue: https://github.com/system76/ec/issues/369. Several overheating episodes occurred.<p>On January 26 started having crashes, whenever plugin-unpliggin thunderbolt, hdmi, even usb sticks. On May the computer became unusable so I contacted support.<p>Support was good, the problem was the ram died. Never happened to me before so I didn't recognize the symptoms. And now I understand the most likely cause was due to overheating.<p>Bought a new ram, updated firmware, operating system to their cosmic OS (which I like), but the fan issues persisted.<p>Went back to the same issue looking for an update, nothing. Decided to look for a fan manager in the cosmic store, found one, installed, and realized the setup instructions resolved the fan issue.<p>I'm no expert and I am sure it is not a definitive solution but it works! So I went back to the issue and posted this comment if it was any help to others in distress: https://github.com/system76/ec/issues/369#issuecomment-5146109013<p>Yes, I did a snarky remark, but it comes from the frustration of not seeing this solved in over 3 years! When they know the consequences of overheating on system components. And turning the computer off every time I move is no solution.<p>Issues are sometimes where users find solutions to their problems, that's why I posted that workaround. However, in less than 30 minutes (more or less), my comment was flagged as off-topic and thus hidden from the thread.<p>This is what led me to post this. They are actively hiding useful information (from actual experience) to new users that will have the problem. Instead of focusing on solving it. Unacceptable.<p>I leave this as a warning to anyone who is looking to make a purchase decision.
A disturbing thought. A world where the marginal cost of software is free
Software is no longer a scarce resource.Not a new idea at all, but the implications hit me hard as I was considering monetization models for my apps.Unless you are lucky (network effects, timing), grandfathered in, or provide exceptional value, the natural cost of software is free.Intuit is an example of a grandfathered-in, exceptionally high-value software approach.And Intuit knows it. They leverage their advantage to a predatory extent.My wife is an EA, and I know for a fact Intuit puts the sc
Launch HN: Tokenless (YC S26) – Automatic model switching to save money
Open-source models are cheap and rapidly improving, closing the gap with frontier models, but aren’t quite there yet.Tokenless gets you the best of both worlds–routing harder turns to smarter models only when needed, which keeps costs low.Before Tokenless, I was doing a PhD at Princeton. While using coding/other agents, I constantly agonized over model choice, to make sure my AI spend was going as far as possible on my academic Cursor account.At the same time, I was doing LLM research, and
Show HN: Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones
Hello HN!I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy.I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what propertie
Show HN: Open-Cowork – an open-source, model-agnostic computer-use agent
The interaction model was useful, but computer use burns through model calls much faster than chat: take a screenshot, decide what to do, perform an action, inspect the result, and repeat.We wanted to separate that agent loop from any one model or subscription.Open Cowork currently works with local models through Ollama and hosted models through providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Mistral, and OpenRouter. You can watch the agent’s actions as they happen and interrupt it during a
Builders lack an audience, Creators lack building skills
I've been building products for 14 years now. I always find it funny how the world absolutely don't care when launching. No one genuinly cares for the product. At all. Never.<p>The product never really attracts anyone. It's 100% always the storytelling about it. Even products made for engineers. You can't just test everything that looks cool on paper.<p>And what's funny is that on the other side, there are tons of Creators now that basically do content all year long to build an audience. To end up not really knowing how to monetize it.<p>And despite all that, I still haven't seen any big company rise from a founder duo where there's a builder and a creator.<p>Could be nice. Or maybe just sounds good but doesn't work. Or these 2 types of people just have nowhere to meet.<p>Thoughts?
