You're already unpopular, Linus. You swept a workplace sexual harrassment scandal under the rug, were called out for your lack of proper testing, and your data is constantly incorrect.

[-] thragtacular@kbin.social 17 points 8 months ago

By "sweeping it under the rug" what you meant was "ARE NOT PUBLICLY COMMENTING ON POTENTIAL FUTURE LEGAL ACTIONS AGAINST THE COMPANY."

It really seems like a lot of the anti-Linus crowd gives way more of a shit about it than the actual victim, which is about par for the course with anything involving LTT.

Wish people had the kind of energy for shitting on actual horrid companies that they do for this one.

Wish Linus had the energy to be a less shitty person and NOT work his team at an unmanageable rate, and had a clear idea of what his company even is.

Btw, nice condoning sexual harassment by completely minimizing it.
"Linus isn't a big company, so it shouldn't matter as much"

Fucknuckle

You're completely illiterate.

Stop talking.

Linus is many things, but I never saw him "shill" for anything that wasn't clearly labeled as such.

[-] thragtacular@kbin.social 4 points 8 months ago

Shill for what?

Got a followup?

No?

Didn't think so.

You seem like you have nothing to contribute but still feel the need to open your mouth.

You work in HR, don't you?

[-] settoloki@lemmy.one 6 points 8 months ago

Hey everyone check out Mr last word over here.

[-] thragtacular@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago

Hey everyone, check out the guy that thinks it's clever to go "LOL U GONNA RESPOND TO THIS."

Next post is probably "LOL I LIVE RENT FREE IN UR HED"

So I downgrade my HR assertion and now assume you're an Astros fan.

You feeling alright?

[-] thragtacular@kbin.social 2 points 8 months ago

Be more literate. Learn the difference between a question and a statement and how these things change circumstances.

Also go away. You're boring.

[-] settoloki@lemmy.one 4 points 8 months ago

You seem troubled, everything ok at home? Struggling with anything. If you need to talk dude I'm around. The way you are acting and responding to people is not a normal emotional response. If ya need to chat hit up my dms, don't suffer alone.

[-] clmbmb@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 8 months ago

Please don't promote this prick anymore!

I agree with the review here, I've always found the mission of fairphone exciting and noble, but the specs...always left me with a meh feeling.

"It's a fairphone, not a great phone"

"They overshot the mark and made too many compromises" - 100% agree with this line

[-] Chee_Koala@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

I'll still hop to Fairphone after my current phone dies. I would miss a great camera the most but a decent camera is still a decent camera. At least I'm the boss over my own phone, I'm so fed up with not being able to swap out parts myself like with a normal desktop.

[-] cm0002@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

I'm so fed up with not being able to swap out parts myself like with a normal desktop.

Meh, most phones (except iPhones) aren't really that difficult to swap a battery out or something. The easy removable battery is nice, but you can change the battery on any Android phone with a bit of patience, time and heat.

Beyond the battery, the fairphone looks...pretty much the same inside from any other Android I've taken apart, the battery adhesive is the most difficult part once you're inside the phone, everything else is easy. So it's really not worth the performance compromises IMO

[-] Ilandar@aussie.zone 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

You aren't paying extra solely for the modular design. I don't know why tech enthusiasts always hand wave the social and environmental benefits of Fairphone away when they are the key focus of the company.

[-] aluminium@lemmy.world 18 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

I mean I agree on some Points and I too agree its in many ways a overpriced undercooked phone but the Note 5 comparison is absolute nonsense.

I'm the first to recommend second hand flagships but the Note 5 is maybe a fun secondary phone but definitly not daily drivable and recommendig it to people who don't know what they will get themselfes into is criminal.

Like just the fact that he implies that the Note 5 SoC is comparable in Performance to the Fairphone is braindead. You are comparing a Cortex A57 to a A78. There are 6 generations between them.

Also what are these doofusus in "The Lab" doing. Would it really have been that hard to pull up some common CPU Bound tasks like rendering websites, compressing files, ... . App opening Tests are often limited by Network speeds and IO Speed and tell you very little about the in App Performance.

[-] verysoft@kbin.social 17 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

They just throw out any random shit and people click and watch it. LTTs quality dropped years ago when they got too big. It's about views now, not respectable content.

[-] aluminium@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago

100%. I don't get how people still enjoy this slop. He was alright 6 or 7 years ago but now it feels like mass media thrown together crap. Same as well for MKBHD honestly. Dude is reviewing nothing and always just sharing first experiences.

[-] verysoft@kbin.social 3 points 8 months ago

Yes MKBHD is the same. Just loads of shill content to keep brands happy.

[-] Banzai51@midwest.social 4 points 8 months ago

Methinks y'all doth protest too much.

[-] cmgvd3lw@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 8 months ago

You have to press the enter key for unlocking... there is no uninstall option on the app menu... what???

You even a real reviewer? All ASOP roms do that.
