And they wouldn’t watch Linus video on it going on the wrong gpu.
They absolutely would, it’s literally the only video on it in huge part because Linus managed to give away the only prototype without permission, accidentally ensuring exclusivity.
And sure, they’d know he fucked up but it might still sway their opinion, maybe even unconsciously.
Oh and when you ask what Linus is going to do to prevent crap like this in the future (after already tripling down on their stupidity with the testing) is “nothing, it’s a one in ten years occurrence”.
The guy absolutely can’t stop jamming his foot in his mouth.
This is cool but it’ll be a nightmare to update.
Also, chances are that if you use Alpine the person using your image already has the base layer downloaded, so your image might actually be “bigger” for most people.
You want an Xperia. No removable battery (there are almost no “normal” phones with removable batteries) and instead of a popup camera you get a regular front camera in a tiny bezel (so assuming you don’t want a stupid hole/notch in the display that’s what you want). But they are overall solid phones with excellent DACs and very clean Android. And it’s still a mainstream, non-Chinese brand.
The only disadvantage is price, but they target a niche audience. If you can take a deal with headphones or such it’s very much worth it.
One they Linus seems determined to ignore so that they can keep raking in big sponsorships and sales of their overpriced over hyped merch so they can buy ever bigger mansions.
I don’t think it’s that bad; Linus’ heart seems to be in the right place but his ego and occasional lack of self-awareness does definitely hurt at least the image. But that’s something the new CEO can actually fix, potentially.
As for the need to make money and churn out content, I kinda get the need; he probably feels immense pressure because in order to sustain 100+ people they do actually need to put out a shittin of content and can’t really take a break.
With that being said issues like these should be a very strong signal that change needs to happen, and dismissing people’s concerns and not being able to put his ego aside will hurt them a lot if this continues.
Packages or dependencies with only one maintainer that are this popular have always been an issue, and not just a security one.
What happens when that person can’t afford to or doesn’t want to run the project anymore? What if they become malicious? What if they sell out? Etc.
Good to know which company should be avoided for buying home appliances. I really hope the notice will be the first thing to show ope when you search their name + HA Integration.
