“Make sure he doesn’t pick your pocket!”

A lot of the allegations about the accuracy of their data basically came down to arguments about the validity of statistics garnered from testing methodology…

I mean, no, not really. They mislabelled graphs entirely, let data that was supposedly comparing components in the same benchmark, by the same testers, on the same platform pass with incredible outliers, and just incorrectly posted specs of components, and that’s nothing to say about any of the other allegations brought up at that time. It’s super basic proofreading stuff, not methodology, that they couldn’t be assed to double-check, all because of crunch.

Here you go.

Long and the short of it is that they had been making tons of factual errors by just being sloppy. They were growing super fast and investing tons of money in Labs, touting how accurate and trustworthy they were while making a bunch of dumb mistakes. Oh, also being just really unaware of how it comes off having your YouTube channel employees doing construction and installation work on your McMansion while some of them were still living in their parents’ basement.

There’s more to it than that, that video (and its follow-up) are definitely worth the watch if you have the time.

Edit: Linus has been consistently anti-union, saying he’d feel as if he failed as a boss if his employees unionized. It comes off like ‘oh how did it get so bad that you felt this was the only option, why didn’t you just talk w/ me’, but he’s really just completely misunderstanding the purpose, function, and history of unions. He really just seems completely clueless as to his power dynamic as a boss in general.

creative teams across the company were stretched too thin

[layoffs] delayed because of production schedules

These people are overworked! Better fire some of them; that’ll surely help!

No, clearly this is Darwin finally admitting what we’ve known all along: the man is actually composed entirely of sentient clover and bees.

Kendrick: You’re a pedo, your son hates you, your mom raised a terrible kid, and you’ve got a secret daughter

Drake: tf? I don’t have a daughter

Saw them open for Fall Out Boy a couple months ago. Killer set list through-and-through, even though I knew very few of the songs. They still bring the heat!
