A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

You know, this is some shit that I expect when dealing with some shady asshole on ebay, but LMG?

Bro... Are you ok?

I always wondered if Linus was actually a slimy POS, but this Billet Labs situation has cemented it for me. If you haven't watched the Gamers Nexus followup video, definitely watch it.

Checkpoint: have you unsubbed? Unsub LTT now.

There's plenty of good, honest content out there.

Late to the news but I’m not entirely surprised. As messed up as the situation may seem, I like to remind it’s in everyone’s best interest not to jump on the outrage/cancel train. I do not have any loyalties and find the best way to judge anything is to listen to various outlets prior to constructing my own opinions. LMG f’d up in this instance but that’s not to say that their other content has no value. All these different YouTube channels work in an ecosystem of checks and balances and we need all of them to stick around to provide different perspectives. It is up to the viewers to think for themselves and don’t let the echo chambers of social media cloud your judgement. Whether it’s politics or tech reviews, let’s avoid extremism as nothing is ever black or white.

Don't know why, but the image is not loading on my end. Anyone got a link to it on a different platform?

It's just text, I copied it for you

June 30: "Let me know if you'd like the block back either way. And we can ship it back with the 3090 Ti." July 6: "We'll send back the Monoblock and 3090T

July 12: "The block and the 3090 Ti should be sent sometime next

week."

July 30: LTX Extra Life Auction featuring Billet block ends

Early August: "So, there was a communication mishap and we ended up

auctioning off the Monoblock in silent auction for charity at LTX. The

good news, is that it isn't just sitting on a shelf."

I believe you. Not everyone on here will, though.
