Linus reviewed (roasted) our phone | Fairphone reacts
youtu.be
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. ðŸ¤

Who cares what linus thinks he is a youtube shill.
More and more I'm starting to agree with this view, still glad he introduced me to my new laptop (framework 16) though
I heard its good the lap i mean.
I really like it so far, I look forward to using it for a long time
You got one? :o I thought the pre-purchase batches would be sent in March.
I was batch 2, it looks like the first few batches are going out at the same time, also I was lucky as I didn't order any of the parts that were delayed
Enjoy
What a dumb take. Linus is one of the primary tech reviewers. After he got blasted by GN they got their shit together.
They're advertisers disguised as reviewers.
They disclose their advertisements through audio and video, altough I dislike them not declaring in title whether it's a sponsored video or review. Linus said publicly that he wonders why people don't understand which of their videos is sponsored or not, but going by their titles it's to be expected.
Watching their video it's imo pretty obvious what is a review and what is
sponsoredadvertisement.His primary skill and draw is entertainment. Tech is just what fills the gaps between shenanigans, "isn't this cool?" and the next self-deprecating remark.
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.
