      This is the real problem for me, I can forgive the goofy bullshit and half-ass benchmarks, but that is straight up sexual assault and harassment. There’s no way I’m supporting them until they address the allegations professionally and without some stupid “sponsor” joke video apology.

        Don’t forget the Billet Labs stuff. Obviously not as bad as the SA, but definitely worse than the shit benchmarks and bad reviews.

        And maybe without disclosing information like the price of the Billet Labs prototype that Billet Labs did not want to show…

      i could never make it thought an entire LTT video in my entire life. They are just so boring and bland and lack any depth.

      No thanks,I’d rather read reddit or now Lemmy opinions from other people who are far more competent and open to opinions.

        As someone who worked with computer hardware alot, Linus always came off as full of hubris and douchy to me. I was not expecting anything of this scale, but I am also not surprised to learn he’s greedy. Dude always seemed full of himself. The abusive mistreatment of employees is unexpected tho.

      This and the gamers nexus exposé really do add up when looked at together. Linus deserves all the horrible things coming to him.
