Linus's response.
I honestly fully stand by GN in this and while I think LTT should have had the opportunity to respond to the allegations before the video went live, since this is the proper Journalistic thing to do, it should be considered that ltt has a huge audience and influence in the tech sphere so I can only assume GN didn't want them to get ahead of the curve? It's sad if it has come to this.
I also don't know how exactly ltt could respond to the observations GN made since it's a piece about what happened in videos they posted. They can't really deny what happened. All they could do is lower their head and promise to do better.
Not fully LTT related, but man is it hard to write an apology, everytime I read one online I've never seen people think that the person was truly apologetic.
Fully LTT related, Personally seeing the character, I'd say he is indeed apologetic, I can fully see how this error could be made from what was written in his response and hell a lot of people could have done so I'd say personally. I personally think he would be apologetic and wants to do better, this guy wants to go far to do well, he's a guy that wants to do a lot
Edit: Yeah I can understand, if you'd like to share your point of of view with me feel free to do so, I'm a chill person, just wanted to share my point of view and it'll be a pleasure to read others
Writing this 12 Horus later. Decides to rewatch the GN video, some of those errors are really big and have to absolutely be fixed or be repaired as much as possible, and some definitely come from the size of the company which is becoming really big creating communication errors, which the bigger a company gets, the bigger the projects 5hey can work on and the slower it goes, if, it wants to keep the same quality. Seeing the Waterblock being in auction is a really really big error, and can definitely come from not enough communication between a person that knows it has to be sent back and a person that's thinking of a charity
