I have not yet understood what the Framework does that a Latitude or Thinkpad T-series does not.

Maybe it's the marketing?

8800GTX 512MB, which brought the ridiculous prices of the 8800GTX 384/768MB versions down to human level. Had that one for years!

Framework has the repairability of a Thinkpad or Latitude from 2003, and the rest is hype.

When I worked for a computer manufacturer, our business line computers had parts available anywhere on Earth on the next business day for 5 years after the last one rolled off the assembly line after their 18 month production cycle, then available within 5-7 business days for another 18 months. The computers were designed so that the lowest bidding service provider could have their tech grunts replace any parts within 0.5-10 minutes with a single screwdriver on the laptops, or mostly without using tools on the desktops. Even after the 8 year official life spans you can get new old stock parts on eBay or used from recyclers, which I'm sure someone interested in wanting to repair their own computer would know how to do.

Framework is nothing but marketing an idea that has existed for decades, but with a worse and more expensive implementation.

One of the most hilarious things I've seen is turning on smoothing on Star Wars ep IV on my TV, and watching it go from cinematic masterpiece into a Doctor Who VHS.

I want to try that with something like Seven Samurai, now that you mention it.

Also, if your copy of Star Wars includes multiple languages/subtitles, I tried a short bit of it some years ago with subtitles only and just the soundtrack, and it worked very well.

Ah yes, the Tron: Legacy method of watching. Without subtitles.
