Did they ever fix the internal clock battery issue?
Yes they did. Starting with the 12th gen boards the RTC battery is optional. If you have one it will be topped up by the main battery, otherwise the main battery is used to keep the clock running. Source: https://frame.work/blog/whats-new-in-this-years-framework-laptop-13-part2
That's great to hear!
What’s that issue?
There was an issue with the 11th gen mainboards (the first Framework laptop generation) that if the laptop was left unplugged for too long (like, weeks), the internal RTC battery would deplete and the system would become unbootable without resetting the mainboard. They fixed it in the next generation, though.
Yiiikes.
Thanks for the reply!
