Update: the post is back, maybe people mass reported it and the bots took it down? I don’t know.

    On top of the other shit going down at LMG for their sloppy to the point of unacceptable journalism (like screwing up numbers, ignoring manufacturer recommendations, selling prototypes of unreleased hardware without manufacturer consent), an ex worker at LMG also came forward about the working conditions there, including allegations of sexual harassment and sexual assault.

      selling prototypes of unreleased hardware without manufacturer consent

      This isn’t true. They didn’t sell the prototype, they sold it at an auction. Entirely different, apparently.

        So why say LMG didn’t sell the prototype?

          They’re taking the piss out of Linus’s own justification. Linus himself was the one to use this semantics argument unironically.

          Because selling to the highest bidder, isn’t selling. It’s auctioning,

          And that’s different somehow, at least according to Linus’ explanation of this whole thing. I think we can trust Linus on this one, he has a proven track record of accuracy and honesty. LOL
