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. 🤭

Bullshit. Linus was one of the first reviewers that didn’t say dumb stuff like “buy a really expensive motherboard and a mid range CPU” or “spend 200 dollars on a 1000Watt PSU for your 300Watt system”.
Was that in the past few years?
I watched his stuff before the GN kerfuffle . I’m not unfamiliar with the self-promotion, compound-building as content, antics or free-wheeling vids (or vids made to look that way).
Yes, even the side channel stuff.
The tech signal to total signal is… Low-ish. It’s entertaining, it’s broad in its scope, but I can find denser, deeper stuff if I care about a topic.
I agree, but it is important to point out that this is not necessarily a bad thing. It just means that the videos are aimed at a more mainstream audience. His videos are definitely part of what got me (and many other people) interested in tech.
The LTT stuff that’s currently coming out is high quality stuff.
After GN went off on LTT, Linus reigned in his marketing staff and gave the tech staff more time resources to properly review.
I’ll check it out. Thanks for the update.
