But at the end of the day, he has that perfect combination of being company friendly while talking about a lot of underground tech things, for example RISC-V.
I really appreciated Linus’s coverage of RISC-V and its actual benefits and use cases. Other tech YouTubers would have been like “What? I can’t run the Instagram app on this?! It’s trash!”
Yeah, although he’s not the most technical guy, at least he’s not like unbox therapy and their Librem review. Linus seems to care what he’s talking about.
But yeah I stopped watching Unbox Therapy because you can clearly tell which videos are sponsored because they’re the ones where he doesn’t nitpick the most insignificant things.
He got amazed by very basic things, is like your uncle trying to explain how Windows works.
Yeah he explained the kill switches but besides that, he doesn’t seem to know what he’s talking about witch makes it a little uncomfortable to watch for me.

That’s better that what I was expecting. I thought he’d bash it for being “too” privacy centered and “inconvenient” for him and say “the people who use this phone are probably password stealing cybercriminals” or something. From a cursory glance at what tech stuff he likes, he doesn’t seem to care about or even understand the point of privacy oriented devices.

I think Linus is legit.

That would be too much lol.
But yeah at least we should appreciate that he understands the value of privacy. Still I wouldn’t watch his contents.
