Accolades
The film is recognized by American Film Institute in these lists:
gollark: They used to use PGA sockets for (some?) mobile CPUs.
gollark: Although that is probably more Intel's fault.
gollark: Which doesn't go very far since all the main computing bits are on one monolithic board.
gollark: The main thing is the swappable ports, which are kind of cool but also a horrible hack.
gollark: I'm not sure Framework is much of an innovation since it's basically as tightly integrated as all other laptops.
