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. 🤭

    Yeah, I was expecting something like “Yeah, this is an issue, we know. It’s that way because we had to make a trade-off to enable …” but it was mostly just lame excuses or just talking about something entirely unrelated to the point being made.

    Like the thickness of the device and bezels. Just accept it, the FP is thicc. It’s a conscious trade-off you made. Be open about it. Don’t whine about measuring with the camera bump included (if anything, measuring from the bump gives the FP an advantage since its bump isn’t as thic as others?). If the bezels are a little thicker than the competition, just state why that is (i.e. to make it easier to replace).

    Had to stop watching after that or I would have died of cringe.
