I'm always a little worried when I see things like reviews from companys that have an ownership stake in the other without disclosure. In this case, Linus's of LTT's stake in Framework is probably already widely known among people seeing this post. And, to his credit is always disclosed on LTT videos as far as I know. But it still feels a bit shady for Framework to tout a positive review without that disclosure. It just makes me wonder what other business relationships I might be missing.

In this case I think it's probably still a very good product. I personally recently decided against a framework because I couldn't justify the price delta for something I really only use occasionally because I'll always default to my desktop.

Look, if anyone downvoting me would like to tell me where I'm wrong, I'm open to it.

But please don't take my comment as a defense of the doctor in this case. It's not at all.

Seems like a sensationalized headline to me. Police won't prosecute because the women is "...unwilling to proceed with a criminal complaint...."

Yes, the article points out the law does not require a criminal complaint to investigate and file charges, but the police are significantly less likely to get a conviction without the cooperation. I don't have statistics here, but I have to imagine the success rate of a criminal case like that would be almost negligible.

It actually does have a microSD card reader according to the specs sheet. Sadly no headphone jack, which would make this really appealing.
