Did Linus ever really apologize for the “we didn’t sell the prototype we auctioned it” comment. I only saw him make excuses about miscommunication (blaming the company that lent the prototype). Or apologize to Gamers Nexus for saying they didn’t do “real” testing?

I only saw a long corporate speak “we will do better” video.

What did he ever do? He seems to be the YouTube equivalent of famous for being famous. I’ve tried watching but it’s a lot of nothing talk and seemingly contrived drama with other YouTubers who also talk a tremendously long time about nothing.

Prototype company had initially said that they could keep it.

That was the lie that Linus told that got me to stop watching LTT. The company sent Gamers Nexus the email chain where they clearly had been asking for it back and got the run around until it was auctioned. Then Linus had the gall to say, “We didn’t sell it, it was auctioned.”

LTT is a big company. Mistakes were made. But instead of saying, we screwed up they tried to blame the prototype company when it wasn’t their fault at all.

Linus didn’t have a direct apology to the prototype company. He blamed them for his auctioning off their prototype. Saying, [sic] “Sorry, you made a mistake and we didn’t follow through correctly.” isn’t a real apology.

The company responded by sending the email chain to Gamers Nexus to prove their side of the story.

GN August 14th www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGW3TPytTjc&t=108sbreaks story

Linus claims Billet said we could keep it and we didn’t sell it we auctioned it.

Linus defends his “we didn’t sell it we auctioned it” www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cTpTMl8kFY&t=948sby saying its important to get all the details.

However the details, as Linus already knew, was that Billet asked for it back 2 weeks earlier, they lost track of it and sold it.

Linus response August 14th: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0cTpTMl8kFY&t=948sclaims they offered to pay for it before they were under any pressure

GN August 15th www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3byz3txpso&t3m54sBillet labs shows email chain they didn’t receive a response until after GN video was released and LTT was under pressure.

Billets email chain shows that they asked for it back long before it was sold. Linus claims they offered to pay for it before being pressured. Billet labs email chain shows they didn’t receive an offer until after GN’s videos hit the news.

Blue_Morpho,

Just buy a dongle and you can use regular headphones.

Blue_Morpho,

Someone else posted an app that gives the feature back. If you turn off other aid features and just use the app it won’t use more battery than a notification led.

Blue_Morpho,

Get a dongle. Get several. Stick them on the ends of all your headphones and aux cables and forget that you don’t have a headphone jack on your phone.

Blue_Morpho,

The reason for all the lens’s on the back is technical. They can’t put a regular camera lens so they use multiple ones each with different focus ranges.

Even using a regular DSLR you need to swap lenses for different situations.

Blue_Morpho,

I loved the old Windows CE phones. You got a dpad, buttons on the front, and side buttons. All frequently used apps were instant at the button press. No nonsense of turning on phone, unlock, look carefully before clicking app on touch screen because you can’t physically feel the button.

Blue_Morpho,

They can’t be large DSLR style interchangeable lenses because of the form factor. Nor can a single tiny lens even have the range of a compact digital camera because of the form factor. But by adding extra lenses to cover different focus ranges, a smart phone can replace the compact digital camera device. They can’t be as good as a DSLR, but I haven’t needed anything but my phone and DSLR in years where before I bought a new compact digital camera every few years.

Blue_Morpho,

Does it actually belong in the phone? Putting the adc chip outside the phone gives the opportunity to upgrade your sound rather than depend on what the manufacturer bundled or even screwed up. (Nexus phones were notorious for bad headphone output.)

Blue_Morpho,

The sequels made me angry by not addressing that mistake. Animatrix even gave an explanation that the ai “treasured intelligence”. Then it doubled down on the “humans are an endless supply of energy” mistake.

Blue_Morpho,

the machines did it – it’s an act of mercy for their creators.

If only Animatrix had left it at that it would have fixed everything. Instead Animatrix doubled down on bad science by saying humans were an endless renewable supply of energy.

Blue_Morpho,

It was only Morpheus that said that. It could be that Morpheus was taught wrong. Any basic understanding of science would show that Morpheus’s statement was wrong. But his knowledge of science was learned inside the Matrix.

The movie’s were all about revealing layers of truth so it would have fit right in with the theme.

Blue_Morpho,

Because they are intelligent. In the same way we used to killed all predators but now try to conserve them from extinction.

Blue_Morpho,

potentially?

It was definitely about memes. It’s why the Gospel of Thomas is heresy.

Bebop crew always talks down to Faye. That makes her the Meg Griffin of the show.

Old grey haired dude obsessed with Spike and Chris.

It’s pretty obvious Family Guy is a Bebop adaptation for American audiences. Fox Studio just made a few tweaks.

Blue_Morpho,

I’m pretty sure that’s a bios option. Your ram is retraining for maximum overclock. Turn it off. Live with the 1% slower performance.

Blue_Morpho,

Most of their songs are Beatle-esque or have Beatle Easter eggs in the lyrics. Noel Gallagher was/is extremely vocal about being a Beatles fan and saying where he stole parts of Beatles songs/lyrics for his songs.

Is there an artist so horrible that no matter how hard you try that you cannot separate their art from them?

Similar to the recent question about artists where you can successfully separate them from their art. Are there any artists who did something so horrible, so despicable, that it has instantly invalidated all art that they have had any part in?

Blue_Morpho,

New season with replaced voice actor is really good.

Blue_Morpho,

YouTube has dislikes. The thumb down is still there. But it doesn’t show the results.

Blue_Morpho,

I know this is a deep cut for a joke:

The title of the painting is: Teal’s dream.

(Hyperdrive)

Blue_Morpho,

I thought it was easy until my kids’ school system tried to do it.

The bus drivers all quit. The only reason they took the job was because it was early and they could start a 9-5 job after their bus drive.

After delays and rescheduling, many schools in the district now start earlier than they did before they tried to make them later.
