A Framework Laptop Hacking Story

SSH of Windows' Linux subsystem

I started working my way through the guide on modifying the EC firmware. It was going pretty smoothly. As an aside, I installed WSL so that I had a reasonable dev environment, because I'm a scrub who does all his dev work on Windows. I'd never used WSL before, and I was amazed at how easy it was to follow Linux-centric instructions pretty much to the letter. You get a fully fledged Linux environment running in a Windows command prompt. It's actually magic.

Framework Laptop

I bought a Framework Laptop a few months ago. I was really drawn to the idea of a laptop that I could customize and which was built with repairability in mind. That's a really great stance to take, and it didn't hurt that the laptop build and specs looked good, so I went for it. It was also cool that I could buy it with no memory, no hard drive, no power adapter, and no operating system, and supply those things separately. In general I was very happy with it, but it had one little behavior that bugged me. This is a long journey, but I hope it contains some useful information.
