    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.

      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.
