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. 🤭

    That’s not efficiency, that’s speed. I charging efficiency is your charger drawing 35W and your phone only getting charged with 30W.

      Honestly, in the best of circumstances, it would be closer to only 20 W getting to the phone by today’s standards.

      Yes and no, 120W charging wouldn’t be possible if the electronics in the phone weren’t quite efficient, because there would be too much heat generated.

      You are probably right. It’s efficient for me though. I get a lot more charge per minute wasted waiting for it to charge. But it may not be the scientific term of efficiency

        But it may not be the scientific term of efficiency

        Otherwise known as, “efficiency”

        Ah, yes, “alternative facts.”

        Maybe say convenient instead.

          I think they meant to say it’s time efficient for them, not that the phone is energy efficient.
