The Librem 5 Birch units have shipped and the initial reviews indicate that it leaves more than a little bit to be desired. Lets see how Todd reacts to those reviews, shall we?

00:00 - 00:03 We have shipped the Librem 5

00:04 - 00:05 A number of users

00:05 - 00:07 Have received their Birch units

00:08 - 00:12 Though there are some problems

00:12 - 00:15 Involving battery life and power management

00:17 - 00:19 If its a working phone

00:19 - 00:21 Then we can work the rest out

00:24 - 00:26 Mr. Weaver...

00:27 - 00:28 Calls...

00:31 - 00:33 Calls currently can't be made from the device

00:34 - 00:36 We have no firm ETA on the fix

00:53 - 00:58 Færber, Rankin and Foster remain. Everybody else out.

01:13 - 01:15 WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT DOESNT MAKE CALLS?

01:15 - 01:17 WE'VE BEEN BLOGGING OTHERWISE FOR OVER A MONTH!

01:18 - 01:23 We even mocked the people who shipped a phone that couldn't make calls!

01:25 - 01:28 And now we ARE those people!

01:29 - 01:31 HOW THE FUCK

01:31 - 01:34 AM I GOING TO SPIN THIS?

01:34 - 01:37 Not to mention all the other crippling problems

01:37 - 01:40 We look like fools!

01:40 - 01:42 Todd, why can't Lunduke just make a video?

01:42 - 01:46 Lunduke quit months ago after the twitter fuck up!

01:46 - 01:48 Todd, why don't we just come clean?

01:48 - 01:52 Listen dumb shit if we come clean...

01:53 - 01:54 Pre-Orders will dry up...

01:56 - 01:57 You all won't get paid...

01:57 - 02:00 Purism will declare bankruptcy...

02:00 - 02:03 And I'll Get the Shit Sued Out of ME!

02:04 - 02:08 I can't let those peasants get my money

02:08 - 02:13 The tax hit in California is bad enough!

02:14 - 02:16 I could lose my European Sportscar

02:17 - 02:21 Or they could foreclose on my McMansion in Monterrey

02:27 - 02:29 Why Can't These People See

02:30 - 02:34 WIthout us, they are doomed

02:34 - 02:36 We are their SAVIORS!

02:41 - 02:42 I refuse to give in

02:43 - 02:47 We will stay the course no matter the cost

02:48 - 02:53 If the phone doesnt make calls

02:54 - 02:56 We should charge extra

02:56 - 02:59 For a guarantee that their phone can't be tapped

03:00 - 03:02 Nobody else offers that!

03:04 - 03:07 It's okay, you can still use Mumble

03:14 - 03:16 We need a fresh new offensive

03:19 - 03:23 Lets launch Librem 5 USA

03:25 - 03:26 With some luck

03:31 - 03:33 Enough suckers will buy in

03:40 - 03:46 So I can keep my house and car

03:46 - 03:49 Maybe you all will keep your jobs...
