These don’t have a recovery bios?

That's crazy. I stopped considering framework after the one thing but not having A/B slot or hardware flashback at their price point is insane!

...the one thing

What?

Probably referring to Framework's somewhat puzzling support of DHH, who openly supports far-right racists.

As to the BIOS issue, it should be noted:

Framework’s statement to Ars says:

… in addition to replacing in-warranty Mainboards, we are making exceptions for out-of-warranty replacements where we can confirm a stable-release BIOS update caused the board to become non-bootable.

Framework is also introducing a “Crisis Recovery Mode” BIOS functionality to enable a path for failed updates to be directly recoverable.

Ah, oh yeah, I remember that now that you mention it!
