We’ve been hinting that this year is going to be huge, and we’re ready to share why… in two weeks on Feb 25th, at our Framework (2nd Gen) Event! We’re holding this launch event live in San Francisco and streaming to our YouTube channel at 10:30am Pacific that day. You can sign up now to get notified when the stream starts. The last time we held a live launch event was in March 2023, when we unveiled Framework Laptop 16 and two new versions of Framework Laptop 13. It’s been amazing seeing the interest in these products and the incredible ways the community has been using and extending on them. We’ve been heads down working for the last two years on an even bigger set of announcements.

For this event, in addition to bringing in press and partners, we’re opening a pool of invites to the Framework Community to attend the event in person, meet the team, and get hands on with our newest products. If you’re a current Framework fan and are in the San Francisco area (or are able to handle your own travel to us), you can apply to attend in this sign-up form. We expect we’ll see a lot more interest than we have available seats in our venue, so we’ll likely need to downselect from applicants.

We will be opening pre-orders on at least one new item that day, so if you’re in the market for repairable, upgradeable, long-lasting consumer electronics products, you may want to create an account ahead of time to be ready. We’ve scaled up our e-commerce infrastructure massively, but we expect the site will still be under heavy load.

Five years in, we’re confident that we’re on a fast path to achieving our mission to remake consumer electronics. We’re eager to continue supporting and scaling the ecosystems around our current products, and we’re ready to bring this mission and product philosophy to even more of the world, one category at a time. It’s going to be an awesome day, and all of us in the Framework team can’t wait for you to see what we’ve been working on!

For a hint at what we'll be announcing, head to the event page.

Anyone have suggestions for the best privacy-concious way to view the YouTube live stream?

Logged out in an incognito window? Sounds like you are already avoiding the platform, it's not going to get much of a profile on you from one stream.

Or have someone download it for you after it finished airing.

I do tend to use Tubular whenever I need to watch a YouTube video. But you are saying that it works well for live streams also?

Yup

I recently watched a couple of creator livestreams and they both work great👍

Oh hi! We've been working on something with customizable colors and an AMD Ryzen CPU, something fast with official Thunderbolt support, and something worthy of gaming. Find out live on Feb 25th at 10:30am PST at the Framework (2nd Gen) Event.

Oh hi! We've been Wheel Active, something electric, and something worthy of party game ?snacks?.

My take on it. I'm hoping wheel active is right because that's cute.
