While I like what framework is doing, given that Linus Sebastian is a investor of the company, I don't think I can support them.
At least not until the sexual harassment investigation that he promised would be released is finally released and shows no wrongdoing. Although I suspect it was a line it's never going to get released.
I think he invested $250k, which my gut says is a very small part of what the company got?
Don't buy a computer if you don't need it obviously, but consider that other companies likely have bad/harmful investors too. Bad people benefiting from a good thing isn't a reason to hate on the good thing
This might change if he owned a more significant part of the company
So what you’re saying is that you’ll never buy anything anymore? Every company has shit investors. Your actual reason is probably more like “It’s too expensive and don’t actually care enough for what they stand for”
And if you knew what other investors of other companies did... cough E.Island
Its a matter of trust. I trusted the man and he betrayed it. Simple as that.
I understand that (after all i don't watch LTT anymore either) but not doing something becouse someone who you no longer like likes something isn't a way to live your life
It's not frameworks fault that that stuff (allegedly) happened, and none of the good things that are true about the company are any less true becouse of it
What is true is that framework is trying to change the laptop space, and at least personally speaking some rich influencer isn't going to change how much I think that needs to happen
Again, I never said I didn't like framework. I just don't want another cent going to their investor. If they somehow removed Linus's involvement , Ill be right on board again.
Dongles stick out, expansion cards don't.
The Ethernet one does, though not comparatively, and I still prefer it to a dongle
