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. ๐Ÿคญ

That makes him bought and paid for.

LOL no it doesn't?

He doesn't become a new person each time he reviews a product, his history exists regardless

You don't have to "become a new person" to understand that this product does not compete with the one he invested in. If there was another laptop reviewed that was the same repairable/upgradeable ethos you might have a point.

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.

You don't seem to understand that no one doesn't have a bias. Or that the supposed issue at hand is not bias but a conflict of interest. One that does not exist with phones.
