Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.

Shitty of him to sell the device but that’s the biz if you don’t put every little thing in fine print.

Them’s the breaks.

It gets worse, the company actually sent the correct graphics card to test the device on, but they still used the wrong model which doesn’t fit properly.

What needs to be in the fine print of LTT confirming they’re going to return it… to then turn around and sell it after confirming they’re going to return it?

They admitted it in their own video… GN also showed emails that came direct from the company.

From LTT’s own video. They show an email from “Felix”

I’ll transcribe so you’re not wasting time trying to pause the video if you’re on mobile or something. Bold is my edit.

Right. We Originally said you could keep it because we thought it would be good for you to have it for future builds - it wasn’t so you could sell it (whether for charity or not). Then when Linus clearly didn’t like it, we asked for it back and you agreed. That was a [redacted] prototype and we’re a very small company. Do you plan to reimburse us for the money it cost? You agreed to send it back and we planned our finances accordingly. This is not okay at all."

Edit: For completeness. The redacted portion was the cost of the prototype itself.
