definitely an intelligent marketing decision tho. i can imagine a lot of fans will want to support the company even nore now

I like this decision. I really hope this more repairable approach to making laptops will become more popular

I usually can't stand LTT, and this video is ... better than most of them? I was already interested in the framework laptop, and I appreciate this educational approach to his stock disclosure.

Their other video on the Framework is good too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rkTgPt3M4k

This video ended up crashing Frameworks website because of so many buy orders lol.

I wish I could figure out what it is about his approach that bothers me so much, so that I could address it and enjoy the rest of the videos they produce.

Regardless, I'm grateful for an ally in the repairable, understandable technology space.

About the most cursed decision I can imagine. Imagine if all the tech media outlets start investing on Intel and AMD with just promises of "not going against values".

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 years ago

It's not like every big review company isn't already taking money for "sponsored stories". In general I agree, but in this case I think Linus has the integrity to make unbiased reviews. I guess time will tell

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 years ago

But this is a smaller company that is starting. And Intel and AMD already do a lot of sponsored content

So go on youtube more. I didn't like your face and imo you stay a dumbass. You never meet real people. Because our shit is green or purple. Yours ain't even white.
