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. 🤭

    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.
