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. 🤭

    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
