I can’t believe some of the points Linus made against the Fairphone, especially given he’s onboard with the same compromises for the Framework laptop. 🤭

And?
I think the idea is that Linus is a hypocrite.
One is a phone. One is a laptop.
It does seem to be the thinnest available criticism here.
They are both products focused on being fairer for consumers with upgradable components and better repairability. In terms of this discussion yours is a distinction without a difference.
One is a phone. One is a laptop.
I’m getting Idiocracy vibes from your comment.
Welcome to Fairphone. I love you.
Not even that. It’s that his review isn’t an objective assessment of the product because he stands to financially benefit from Framework doing well. He’s worse than a hypocrite, he’s a shill.

I’m talking less about the products and more about Linus’s reviewing practices. We saw this in the watercooler debacle. He half-asses reviews and blames the product when he’s the one messing up.

They both have the same goal of reperability and the same shortcoming (being way more pricy than competitors with the same performances). Buy one gets roasted and not the other.

He reviewed the framework. He invests in it. That makes him bought and paid for. He doesn’t become a new person each time he reviews a product, his history exists regardless

You don’t seem to understand the concept that if a source is biased, then they can be unreliable in areas outside of their known bias. It’s not hard though, really.
