At the very least it appears incredibly reckless.
what they did to billet is goddamn evil
Evil - least sheltered redditor, just an ass
ruining a prototype product, talking shit about it, and then selling it is a lot worse than being “just an ass”
K hes hitler the evil twins
Damn, I thought we had a while before the 14 yr olds showed up on Lemmy.
Ad hominems, buddy projecting find an argument next time
Meanwhile you're out here calling people redditors
So?
Edit wait are you claiming redditor is an ad hominem? Do you think that migrating to lemmy from reddit for a month puts you so much higher above redditors that u perceive being called one as an attack directed against you??? LMFAOOOOOO
the dictionary definition of evil is “morally reprehensible”. you don’t need to overreact by going straight to a godwin
So what we call hitler then
Pink and crimson are both red. But vastly different shades of it
Deep, so both linus and Hitler are evil ?
The way they handled the billet situation can be argued to be
The Linus as a person/ltt as a company as a whole isn't
So if linus did an evil deed, how we calling hitlers deeds then
A darker shade of red
Side note, people like you are why I miss the karma system and gilding. I can really appreciate a good troll, and used to give gold back in the day. Just know that some people out there are entertained by your work
Tfw even u know how ridiculous it is to use the same adjective for linus and hitler so u have to resort to metaphors and ad hominems to avoid answering and hide your embarrassment, only ghosting me is left >.< farewell
Oh, don't worry, I won't ghost you. How's your day been?
Still at deflection stage alright ghosting's postponed for now
Sounds like a long day
I think that their point that it's an $800 product for a last-gen card, there really isn't anyone out there that should buy this, and therefore it's a bad product is valid. They could have handled the whole thing better and honestly should've just scrapped the video before release.
Auctioning off the prototype when the company asked for it back is pretty inexcusable. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that it wasn't malicious, but they clearly have problems with internal communication of things like this are happening.
At any rate, it's going to be a spicy WAN show this week. Linus needs to actually watch the video and address this point-by-point. If he "reads the comments" or cherry picks some of GN's weaker arguments he's just going to end up throwing fuel on the fire.
It's pretty normal for water blocks to come out well after a GPUs release. Also it looks like it was a new product/company so it makes sense the design took longer than the competition.
I dont think it was malicious, but it is incredibly negligent. It puts a huge stain on the company that’s expected to honor embargos for unreleased products.
@wordle I also have the same thoughts as you.
I feel that if LMG looked at this product and thought "hey this is really dogshit", the decent thing to do would have been to go back to billet and tell them we can't cover it at all (and cop the loss of few hours as part of running an ethical business)
I don’t understand why he won’t just own up to the wrong gpu thing and move on. It’s like getting pissy that the f150 exhaust sounds like shit on your ford ranger.
What the fuck, that’s deplorable
If LMG gave out a prototype for their latest screwdriver to be reviewed and it was onsold, I highly doubt it being called a "mistake" would have sufficed, heads would be rolling
Feel terrible for Billet and how they were treated here
Ltt is certainly not innocent here but this one I'll disagree with since it basically just happened to them with an early sample of the backpack.
Billet was treated very bad here and i'm not trying to defend anyone, but i didn't saw the video and only heard from them because of this shitshow
