If Linus and his wife own 100% (or nearly 100%) of LMG, does it matter who invested in Framework? Especially when he has so much creative control?

As far as I remember, they do not disclose the Framework investment when reviewing other laptops.

Thank you, I appreciate your candor. You've given me some things to think about.

When Linus is hosting a laptop review he always has a disclaimer about being a Framework investor. I'm not sure about videos hosted by others because it's been a while since I've watched one but I don't think they do since it was a personal investment.

Every video about a laptop I've seen since he invested has had the framework disclaimer, including multiple shortcircuits by Alex.

At that point, just refer to the second half of my original replay. Though, if the investment is just a small part of something like an index fund, I'd say that concerns of bias probably aren't warranted.
