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. 🤭

      Yeah, I was listening and found myself nodding many of the design choices. Yes I want 60Hz default, yes I don’t want SIM slot on the side, yes I want the phone to be thicker and heavier to accommodate the durability and repairability and features… I’m clearly the target demographic for this device and Linus’es review felt like it completely missed the point. “It’s not much more difficult to replace the Galaxy Note’s battery” say what buddy?

      I can’t even imagine how you can possibly say its a bad take. They were all fair criticisms of that phone, if it doesn’t apply to you very well, but the fact that it’s slower than an old phone it might matter to some specially in the optic of keeping that phone for 5/6 years or more…
