Does the lid open a full 180 degrees and is the hinge sufficiently strong to support the lid if propped up against a wall?

This thread has revealed an interesting cultural difference, with me being in the minority that gets hot water from a remote provider, as opposed to having a heating system and heating it myself.

If your water provider says it's potable I'm not going to question it, but I have yet to see a provider that makes such a claim about their hot water. It is difficult to make a statement that would apply worldwide, but where I live, it is easier to keep legionella out of cold water even if the infrastructure for hot and cold is the same.[1]

Hot water pipes don't have the same potability guarantees as the cold pipes, so this practice would unnecessarily increase your risk of poisoning.

The banana equivalent dose is misleading because potassium doesn't accumulate in the body.

Sorin[1] is based in some London repair shop. It is probably viable because he repairs cheap laptops among other things. He also takes mail orders, but I haven't seen him mention any contact info in his videos.

^ edit: To elaborate, I believe ANSI is the correct layout for US International, but unfortunately more often than not, when I ordered US International, I got an ISO layout (n=2 out of 3). This leads me to believe that the term is ambiguous. It can mean either US layout + international labels, or US labels + international layout (the I in ISO).

If anyone from Framework is reading this: It appears as though the image[1] accompanying the US International keyboard on the US Framework Marketplace[2] is inaccurate. It seems to be an ANSI keyboard with the word 'gr' crudely photoshopped into the right alt key. This is most likely a mistake, as the term 'US International' typically refers to an ISO keyboard. I would humbly suggest that Framework correct the image and clarify whether the keyboard in question is ISO or ANSI.

As with other manufacturers, keyboard availability is determined by the region. If you import one from the UK, you'll have different keyboard options.
On top of that, the US marketplace has different keyboards available[1]: https://frame.work/marketplace/keyboards

The model is deliberately limited in its ability to generate images of people.

It seems that technology-wise, there is more proximity between GDS and the other departments, which is what I was alluding to. This is based on my observation of the various github repositories, with no insight into how the work is organized.
