Strangely enough, I may be able to help…

When creating the component in Datto RMM, you should be able to upload the MSI file. Then you can call it via the script by just giving it the file name (the component uploads the file to the working directory).

For the token, you can create a variable called %token% via the UI, which will cause Datto RMM to prompt the token every time the component is scheduled.

So your batch “script” would be:

msiexec /qn AsioAgentInstaller.msi TOKEN=%token%

Windows 11. I want to play games without having to think about how to get it to work.

I have run the script with mostly success. A few computers had the script fail because WinRE was corrupt, or missing, or whatever. You would think that if WinRE wasn’t present, the update would be skipped and not repeatedly notify you that it failed, but that’s Microsoft for you.

Your Framework 16? That’s great! Mine had an issue where the GPU just disappeared until the BIOS updated. It’s been a few days now, and it seems to be rock solid. Most of my issues were GPU related.

The Framework 13, yes. I bought my wife one. I bought another for a cousin. My company has been deploying them for other users. They have been nothing but spectacular.

The Framework 16, it’s still early, but it’s been riddled with bugs. The latest driver pack from late April seems to have fixed most of the issues I’ve been having, so we’ll see, but based on my experience so far, I can’t recommend anyone buy it until the get a few more driver and BIOS patches out.

I own the Framework Laptop 13 and 16. I can answer any questions you have.

Alright, looks like Ubuntu just isn’t ready for AMD 7040. Decided to go to Windows 11 just to have a working computer. Good news is I can test some games…

Alright, an update. I’m an idiot. I reseated the RAM, and the board now works. I’m running Ubuntu 23.04, and it is not stable. The instructions provided from Framework say to install linux-oem-22.04c for the kernel, but this is not available in 23.04. I am upgrading to 23.10 to see if it is any better.

Well, I was hoping to have pictures and video to share, but after installing the new board, RAM, and Wi-Fi card, the system throws a display error post code (12th flash is red, all others green) and won’t output to the built-in display nor a monitor connected via HDMI. I plug the display back into my 11th gen board to be sure I didn’t damage anything, and it still works. Looks like I’m waiting on support to reply to my ticket.

Too bad the Fairphone doesn’t have a headphone jack. It checks the other boxes (besides the popup camera). Would a USB-C to audio adapter work?

I believe multi-core performance is higher in some benchmarks, and I’ve found that the iGPU on AMD has more performance and is more reliable than Intel in most situations. I’m upgrading from 3rd batch 11th gen Intel, so the change to DDR5 adds cost, but may serve well in a future upgrade.

Not saying that the 13th gen Intel is a bad option. I’ve bought several as a business user, and they are great. But my personal preference is AMD in my use case, and I’m excited!

Congrats! It was definitely a relief for me when I received my diagnosis.

Honestly, I gave it my best shot. I had the Pixel 2 XL and loved it. Upgraded to the 5 and it was slow. Upgraded to the 6 Pro and it was buggy and overheated. The Pixel 7 Pro is giving me problems, too. I’m hopeful Google can get it together eventually, but I’m not going to suffer through it until they do.

Pixel 7 Pro, Android 14 Beta. It’s sooooo broken. Pixel Launcher doesn’t work, so the app switcher won’t open. Crashes constantly. Debated buying something else.
