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

    One is a phone. One is a laptop.

    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.

    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.

    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.
